+1 for releasing this RC as AOO 4.0 I have made many tests on my own, including a complete build of the src release under MacOS and verifying the signature etc. We can always do better and can fix more bugs but the overall situation will not change. It will be always the same. Please continue to verify translations and improve it, it's not wasted time. These improvements will go in the next release. The same for the new file type and application icons. We should continue the good work and should integrate it asap on trunk.
