Dear Community,

The Document Foundation is happy to announce the first beta release of
LibreOffice 3.4. The upcoming 3.4 will be the second major release of
the LibreOffice project, and comes with many exciting new
features. Please be aware that LibreOffice 3.4 beta1 is not yet ready
for production use, you should continue to use LibreOffice 3.3.2 for
that.

The beta release is available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X from our
QA builds download page at
