[Libreoffice-qa] [ANN] LibreOffice 4.0.0 RC1 available

[Thorsten Behrens]

Dear Community,

The Document Foundation is pleased to announce the first release
candidate of our upcoming LibreOffice 4.0. The 4.0 will be our fifth
major release in just over two years, and comes with a nice set of new
features. Please be aware that LibreOffice 4.0 RC1 is not ready for
production use, you should continue to use LibreOffice 3.6.4 for that.

For further milestones towards 4.0, please refer to our release plan
timings here:

 http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan/4.0#4.0.0_release

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:

  https://bugs.freedesktop.org

A good way to assess the release candidate quality is to run some
specific manual tests on it, our TCM wiki page has more details:

been possible without your help.
