(Lacks feedback), thus it's regularly the last version to be officially released (if at all). So it is important that users test the RC and provide appropriate feedback. The website reads: OpenOffice.org Aqua Release Candidates OpenOffice.org 3.2.1 has been released on June 4th, 2010 on almost all platforms except for OSX-PPC. There are release candidates available outside of the OpenOffice.org domain that have release quality in the opinion of its many users. Please get in contact with QA if you want to work with the release comitee on having the latest release candidate approved for regular distribution. OpenOffice Aqua 3.2.1 Final Release Candiate Download This is correct. The "Aqua" might not be worth a mention since it really is Aqua for a long time now, but the testing of the PPC version is really needed. (More precise: Feedback) For release-Tests, the tool that tracks the status is QATrack (overview of the end-result): http://qatrack.services.openoffice.org/ and TCM (Text Case Management), that is where testers document the results of individual checks. For release-tests there is a basic sets of instructions to verify http://www.sunvirtuallab.com/tcm2/opensource/tcm_login.cgi?tcm_config=newooo (working through these basic tests is doable in less than three hours, much less if you know the tests already) John: Please sign up on the openoffice.org website (all you need to do so is pick a login name and provide a valid email adress, and confirm the test-mail), and give your OpenOffice.org login name, so an appropriate use can be created in the other tools to track the status. Also state the language for which you want to run the tests. The TCM tests are the absolute minimum. Many errors are not detected by that tool, but by using it in daily-life situations. So further tests are always welcome. ciao Christian --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
