Dear Community,

in a series of frequent bugfix releases for our 3.5 code line. Please
be aware that LibreOffice 3.5.6 RC2 is not yet ready for production
use, you should continue to use LibreOffice 3.5.5 for that.

The release is available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X from our QA
builds download page at

  http://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/

Should you find bugs, please report them to the FreeDesktop Bugzilla:

tests on it, our TCM wiki page has more details:

[Libreoffice-qa] [ANN] LibreOffice 3.5.6 RC2 test builds available for smoketesting

2012-08-09 Thread Thorsten Behrens
Hi *,

for 3.5.6 RC2, we're now uploading builds to a public (but
non-mirrored - so don't spread news too widely!) place, as soon as
they're available. Grab them here:

 http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/

If you've a bit of time, please give them a try  report *critical*
bugs not yet in bugzilla here, so we can incorporate them into the
release notes. Please note that it takes approximately 24 hours to
populate the mirrors, so that's about the time we have to collect
feedback.

The list of fixed bugs vs. 3.5.6 RC1 is available here

 
http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/src/bugfixes-libreoffice-3-5-6-release-3.5.6.2.log

, it would be nice to verify they're really fixed in the build.

Thanks a lot for your help,

Hi *,

for the upcoming new version 3.6.0, we today upload a first beta1
build that is (almost) feature-complete. For further milestones on the
way towards 3.6.0, please refer to our release plan timings here:

 http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan#3.6_release

Builds are now being uploaded to a public (but non-mirrored - so don't
spread news too widely!) place, as soon as they're available. Grab
them here:

 http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/

If you've a bit of time, please give them a try  report *critical*
bugs not yet in bugzilla here, so we can incorporate them into the
release notes. Please note that it takes approximately 24 hours to
populate the mirrors, so that's about the time we have to collect
feedback.

The list of fixed bugs relative to 3.5.4 is here:

 
http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/src/bugfixes-libreoffice-3-6-release-3.5.99.1.log

So playing with the areas touched there also greatly appreciated - and
validation that those bugs are really fixed.

Thanks a lot for your help,

Hi Rainer,

nice, excellent idea - as for the validators used, may I suggest the
following two additional places:

 http://code.google.com/p/officeotron/

and

 http://officeshots.org/ (validation is one of many tasks there)

, since validators are curious beasts - as ODF is not only
RNG-schema, but also normative prose, stuff is sometimes amenable to
interpretation. And then there are simple bugs and oversights - so
it's best to get some breadth in validator coverage...

Hi Nino,

the announcement is to be taken project-internal, i.e. addressing
core QA volunteers smoke-testing the builds. I did not rigorously
tally reports against those test announcements, but personally
recall a handful of instances where I've subsequently release-noted
a few quirks, some of them new, some in theory known, but missed by
the guy writing the release notes (me ;)).

The host is quite powerful, but by no means capable of serving
anything near the peak load our mirrorbrain system is able to cope
with - plus, it runs a few other dev-related workloads I would hate
to be affected. ;)

 - bibisect for 3.5 release branch and 3.6 master (Bjoern)
 - Set Cor up with the Community/Forum maintainers at the distros
   to better propagate Hackfests, Bug Hunting Sessions etc.
   RedHat, Debian, Gentoo still missing
 - structured manual testing (NN)

Action items done:
 - Walkthrough bibisect setup at Hackfest to find out what needs better docs
   (Bjoern/Rainer/Florian) done, awesome screencast resulting from it:
   
http://flosmind.wordpress.com/2012/04/16/bisecting-libreoffice-youtube-now-with-subtitles/
 - automated test docs: really straightforward for Calc, just needs more
   CSV test documents (all)
   https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47667
   Hackfest
 - provide Florian with LibreOffice 3.3 build for regression testing (Bjoern)
 - find webspace for Florians 3.4/3.3 regression VM (Bjoern)

New action items:
 - http://rrbd.wordpress.com/category/libreoffice/feed/ ok to add to
   planet? (Rainer)
 - provide list of exact desirable bugzilla extension (Cor)
 - review bibisect in ~half a year, vm or screencast? (Florian)
 - mail Markus / Eike / Kohei with the test docs for Calc unit tests (Florian)
 - request CC VM from admins, with specs (Yifan)



General discussion:

- collect further ideas for spending a dedicated resource (Cor/Rainer)
  -  blocked: to get a concise list need to make a CaseConductor/Litmus 
 choice

Petr: Yifan setup CC internally, put some sample testcases, played
with it this morning, looks good:

Advantages:
+ easier interface than Litmus
+ most actions are intuitive
+ suite and tags to sort the test cases into groups; they can
  be used for filtering easily
+ support to add links to bugzilla; they are visible from many
  queries
+ steps and expected results are connected; it should be easier
  to follow the instructions in most cases
+ allow to import test cases as JSON/CSV data set
+ more roles (Tester,Test Creator,Test manager,Admin)
+ fully configurable for administrators
+ still developed upstream

Disadvantages:
+ troubles to find the button to edit test case (icons looked
  like disabled)
+ tags are entered as text; you do select them from list of
  existing tags (might be fixed in the future)
+ a bit slow but not that bad

Same troubles like Litmus:
+ UI/text cases are not localized (hopefully solvable)

Cor mentions, that there are some extensions available that improve
possibilities to query from BugZilla, for example wrt commenters
(Rainer knows more details).  It could be looked at if that is useful,
and maybe spend some resource on.

- Setting up a ready-to-go VirtualBox with everything installed would be
  cool (Bjoern/Korrawit?)
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47648
  possibly obsolete by screencast now?
Florian mentions: well i do not think that it is obsolete, but IMHO it
is a different approach. We may discuss, whether a VM is useful (Keep
in mind: old software...; with a screencast you can talk about
problems concerning this version (bisecting_3.5), but not of the
following ones. [ I really hope it is working with 12.04 in the
future. BTW: We need to find a way to tell people where to download
the obsolete Ubuntu 10.10 builds, because Ubuntu 12.04 is being
announced soon!

- automated test docs: really straightforward for Calc, just needs more
  CSV test documents (all)
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47667
  Hackfest
Florian mentions: are other testdocs useful? I really would like to
see a (either WHITEBOARD or KEYWORD): TESTDOC, because it is
annoying to uploas / update a test-doc more then once...

Advise: mail Markus / Eike / Kohei with the test doc

- find webspace for Florians 3.4/3.3 regression VM (Bjoern)
Florian: The two above are OK and the one down is obsolate, because
of: sourceforge.net/projects/libo-qa-builds/files/

Florian: small prob, libo 3.3 downloaded, didn't work properly: better
- do a screencast, looks much easier. Will provide screencast,
hopefully in the two weeks 

- other Hackfest results
 
Florian: talked a lot with Rainer,

Hi Rainer,

 Please find more (but still incomplete) information in our wiki:
 
  https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Hackfest/Hamburg2012
 
Hi there,

I'm glad to tell you that the TDF board has approved a budget for
travel bursaries for the HackFest - details on above wiki page,
executive summary:
 * transportation-only, please sign-up for coach surfing if you need
   free accomodation
 * volunteer-first - people affiliated with a company involved in
   LibreOffice work will come last
 * first-come-first-served - participants will get reimbursed in
   order of their sign-up on the wiki attendance list, until budget
   runs out.

Please be economic and pick cheap travel - that said, flights to
Hamburg might still be available at a reasonable price.

Looking forward to see many of you there,

-- Thorsten

2012-01-12 Thread Thorsten Behrens
Hi *,

for the upcoming new version 3.5.0, we continue with a beta3 build
that is now feature-complete. For further milestones on the way
towards 3.5.0, please refer to our release plan timings here:

 http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan#3.5_release

Builds are now being uploaded to a public (but non-mirrored - so don't
spread news too widely!) place, as soon as they're available. Grab
them here:

 http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/

If you've a bit of time, please give them a try  report *critical*
bugs not yet in bugzilla here, so we can incorporate them into the
release notes. Please note that it takes approximately 24 hours to
populate the mirrors, so that's about the time we have to collect
feedback.

The list of fixed bugs relative to beta2 is here:

 
http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/src/bugfixes-libreoffice-3-5-release-3.4.99.3.log

So playing with the areas touched there also greatly appreciated - and
validation that those bugs are really fixed.

Thanks a lot for your help,

[Libreoffice-qa] [ANN] LibreOffice 3.5.0 Beta1 test builds available

2011-12-13 Thread Thorsten Behrens
Hi *,

for 3.5.0 beta1, we're now uploading preliminary builds to a public
(but non-mirrored - so don't spread news too widely!) place, as soon
as they're available. Grab them here:

http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/

If you've a bit of time, please give them a try  report *critical*
bugs not yet in bugzilla here, so we can incorporate them into the
release notes, and/or roll new builds. Please note that it takes
approximately 24 hours to populate the mirrors, so that's about the
time we have to collect feedback.

Except for 

 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43455

all other Windows-specific bugs listed on

 http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/3.5.0/Beta0

should be fixed.

Thanks a lot for your help,

-- Thorsten

[Libreoffice-qa] Feature branch gtk3 about to be merged - asking for Mac tests

2011-10-21 Thread Thorsten Behrens
Hi there,

currently uploading a Mac testbuild of the feature/gtk3 branch to
http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/Mac_OSX_10.6.0_gcc-4.0.1_x86/feature_gtk3_LibO-Dev_OOO350m1_MacOS_x86_install_en-US.dmg

I checked that it starts  basic functionality works, but would be
cool if people with some spare cycles could give it a go over the
weekend - we're especially interested in differences relative to
e.g.
http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/Mac_OSX_10.6.0_gcc-4.0.1_x86/master/current/master~2011-10-20_21.36.14_LibO-Dev_OOO350m1_MacOS_x86_install_en-US.dmg

Thanks a lot,

-- Thorsten
