The meta Issue 117745 is to track potential Stopper / Release Blocker. If anyone would like to raise an issue for the release, please first make sure it can be defined as Showstopper before dropping a mail on releases@openoffice.org. Then write issue ID, problem statement and why you want to declare that issue as a stopper for this release. If accepted, the issue ID will be added to the meta issue.

Release relevant issues

There are changes in the release process:

• Tracking of critical release relevant issues (see below), branch off will be done if no more of 25 release relevant issues (regressions, data loss issues, P2 usability and A11Y issues) are open
• At the same time code freeze on the DEV300 code line is starting February, 14^th until branch off
• When the release relevant issues (see below) are at 3 or less (ideally it would be zero), time has come for a release candidate
• See blogs.sun.com for more information

Use the following queries to get the number of release relevant issues:

• Regressions
  

• Data loss
  

• P2 usability, accessibility
