Hi *,

for the upcoming new version 4.0.0, the first public ALPHA1 builds now
start to be available on pre-releases. This build is intended for alpha
and beta testers and will not be available on the mirrors or linked from
our web-site. As for the steps towards the 4.0.0 release, please refer
to our release plan timings here:

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

Builds are now being uploaded to a public (but non-mirrored - so don't
spread news too widely!) place, as soon as they're available. Grab
them here:

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

If you've a bit of time, please give them a try & report bugs not yet in
bugzilla. The first beta release is planned for after the feature freeze
that will happen on 3rd of December 2012.

Thanks a lot for your help,

Fridrich

Hello all,

If you've a bit of time, please give them a try & report bugs not yet in
bugzilla.

I've found that Options > Language Settings > Languages lead to CRASH
on Win7 x64.
Could someone, especially from l10n team, confirm this? :slight_smile:

I've reported this at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57413

P.S. I didn't check whether older master builds have this problem.

Best Regards,

Hello,

I try it with windows 8 x64, without java and works fine (Romanian regional settings).
In windows 7 x64 enterprise with java (Hungarian regional settings) works fine too.
Which language packs you installed?

Hi all,

I really would like to learn what the reason of that instruction might be. I can't see any advantage of discussing problems in various lists instead of reporting them in Bugzilla, what's the first place where 99% of interested users will check whether his problem already is known?

I recommend to drop that instruction or to replace it by a more detailed one like
- for installation problems please
- for localization problems please
- for Help problems please wait, Help will be finished ...
and so on.

Best regards

huh?

report bugs (which are) not yet in bugzilla != not report bugs yet in bugzilla

what is bad in reportiing unreported bugs? :slight_smile:

first place where 99% of interested users will check whether his
problem already is known?

But that is wrong per se, DAUs will just google or look in some forum...

You have obviously misread the instruction as suggesting to report bugs
outside bugzilla, meanwhile the instruction was to report bugs that
haven't been reported in bugzilla yet.

He Rene,

thx, it seems I read that with a wrong "accentuation" every time so that I got the wrong conclusion that we should wait with reports :-/
