in these months Libreoffice gained new useful features and team has
fixed many long-time-unsolved bugs
but there is a thing that, if we cannot strictly to define as a BUG, is,
at least, a "defect" regarding the right typography
I mean the behavior of footnotes versus the text body contained in
subsequent pages
professionally formatted books, look like this

as you can see, footnotes (last footnote) are perfectly vertically
aligned with the last line of text in following page
http://tli.tl/0740NZ (zoom in detail)
while if we insert a footnote in OpenOffice/Libreoffice, this is what we get
http://tli.tl/2mfCgT
an horrible difference between footnote and last line of body text that
result not aligned that makes appereance of documents with footnotes
very ugly
if making this enhancement is not too hard, it will be a great step
toward dtp for LibreOffice
