[Libreoffice-qa] [ANN] LibreOffice 4.2.4 RC2 test builds available

[Christian Lohmaier]

Hi *,

for the upcoming new version 4.2.4, the builds for rc2 are now
available on pre-releases. (some windows helppacks still uploading)

See

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan/4.2#4.2.4_release

for the complete schedule. (this is the last scheduled rc for 4.2.4)

Grab the builds from here here:

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

If you've a bit of time, please give them a try & report any severe
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 4.2.4 rc1 is here:

http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/src/bugs-libreoffice-4-2-4-release-4.2.4.2.log

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

One noteworthy change not related to a bugreport is the update of the
OOo reference version to 4.1 (i.e. only extensions that target at
least OOo 4.1 satisfy the installation requirement). Extension
developers should rather use the LibreOffice-minimal-version
dependency as well to avoid any ambiguity

Thanks a lot for your help,
Christian
