[tdf-announce] LibreOffice 3.3.1 Release Candidate available

Dear Community,

The Document Foundation is happy to announce the release candidate of
LibreOffice 3.3.1. This release candidate is the first in a series of
frequent bugfix releases on top of our LibreOffice 3.3 product. Please
be aware that LibreOffice 3.3.1 RC1 is not yet ready for production
use, you should continue to use LibreOffice for that.

The Release Candidate 1 is available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X
from our QA builds download page at

  http://www.libreoffice.org/get-involved/qa-testers/download-qa-builds

A list of known issues with 3.3.1 RC1 is available from our wiki:

  http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/3.3.1/RC1

Following is the list of changes against LibreOffice 3.3:

Key changes at a glance:

 * Numerous translation updates
 * new mimetype icons for LibreOffice - explained here:
   http://luxate.blogspot.com/2011/01/not-even-included-but-already-improved.html
 * quite a few crasher fixes

Detailed change log:

 * translation updates
 * Removed old/unmaintained icon themes
 * Fix for https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=664516: Don't
   use a reference or the default formula string will be changed
 * Install bash completion for oo* wrappers when enabled
   (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=665402)
 * Build fix: get the stlport compat workaround working for gcc 4.6.0
 * Build fix: no ddraw.h or ddraw.lib in the June 2010 DirectX SDK,
   removed usage
 * Windows installer: padded nologobanner.bmp, new size is 102x58
 * removed gd - Gaelic, ky - Kirghiz, pap - Papiamento, ti - Tigrinya,
   ms - Malay, ps - Pashto, ur - Urdu. UI localization does not exist
   in these languages. So it makes no sense to ship packages.
 * Build fix: pass thru PYTHON, found by configure. Will be used by
   filter/source/config/fragments/makefile.mk.
 * Upgraded libwpd (WordPerfect filter) to 0.9.1
 * Fixed BrOffice Windows start menu branding 
 * Removed language code 'kid'. kid is not Koshin, but key id pseudo
   language which is good for debugging UI but should no be included
   in the product
 * Added ca_XV and ast language/local name and description
 * Fixed incorrect page number in page preview mode
   (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33155). When the
   window is large enough to show several 'Page X' strings,
   the page number was not properly incremented.
 * Fixed incorrect import of cell attributes from Excel
   documents. When a cell with non-default formatting attribute starts
   with non-first row in a column, the filter would incorrectly apply
   the same format to all the cells above it if they didn't have any
   formats.
 * Ubuntu: fix for lp#696527 - enable human icon theme in LibreOffice
 * Fix for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=673819 crash on

 * Avoid a pointless GetHelpText() call in the toolbox. Fixes

   can be quite heavy, see
   https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33088.
 * Paint toolbar handle positioned properly
   (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32558)
