The Document Foundation announces LibreOffice 3.5, the third major release of “the best free office suite ever”, which shows to end users the improvements derived from the development strategy adopted since September 2010.

LibreOffice 3.5 derives from the combined effort of full time hackers – the largest group of experienced OOo code developers –and volunteer hackers, coordinated by the Engineering Steering Committee.
Related to Firebird there is the ODBC linux 64 bug killed .
Also the db with no bool support (Firebird 2.5) issue is done

I’ve improved the http://netprovider.cincura.net/ . It’s now returning
version build from latest SVN sources (so it’s actually snapshot
builds now). Again could be unstable, not a good idea to put it to
production.

PS: It’s reading the build from my internal CI server, that is really
old and really not very powerful. Please try not to push it to the
limit.
