Hmm.
The hashes have been added to the update-check script up to 4.2.3

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/website/tree/check.php?h=update#n272

(and that is also what is on the actual server).
And when I simulate an update request using 4.2.3.2's hash for example:

curl -A 'LibreOffice 1.2.3 (7c5c769e412afd32da4d946d2cb0c8b0674e95e;
Windows; x86; BundledLanguages=en-US)'
http://update.libreoffice.org/check.php

I get the "update available" response:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<inst:description xmlns:inst="http://update.libreoffice.org/description">
  <inst:id>LibreOffice 4.2.3</inst:id>
  <inst:gitid>882f8a0a489bc99a9e60c7905a60226254cb6ff</inst:gitid>
  <inst:os>Windows</inst:os>
  <inst:arch>x86</inst:arch>
  <inst:version>4.2.3</inst:version>
  <inst:buildid>9999</inst:buildid>
  <inst:update type="text/html"
src="http://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/?type=win-x86&lang=en-US&version=4.2.3"
/>
</inst:description>

So if no update is offered, then the user-agent string used by LO is
not what the script expects anymore... Need to look what exactly is
wrong...
