Despite of the name it could be the icon of the dmg file? I don't know where this icon set is visible... ;-)

Apart from that: +1 for a public beta.

But we should build "real" beta builds, with the appropriate naming/graphics:
https://home.apache.org/~mseidel/AOO-builds/AOO-420-Beta/About%20OpenOffice%20Beta%204.2.0.png

oh yes, good hint. IMHO the splash screen and start center graphic should show clearly that this is a beta release. Plus different filenames for the installation files.

But these are dmg's not installers.

Hi Jim,

Did you have the opportunity to install 4.2.0 on macOS?

I would be interested if the new icon does show up:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/trunk/main/setup_native/source/mac/ooo3_installer.icns

I created it on Windows with a program called "iConvertIcons" and had no
chance to test it.

Regards, Matthias

In light of our current situation with getting builds together but not having a 
lot of people doing more than simple QA what does the team think about 
releasing a Public Beta for 4.2.0? I think that this would be an advantage for 
the project and might serve to bring in more of the community as QA volunteers.
I thought it's without discussion that we need a (long) beta test phase for 
4.2.0. So, yes for your proposal.

We can create a new entry on the download webpage, some advertising areas on 
the other webpages, and other fine things to make it visible.

And - also this should be clear already - we need several builds of 4.2.0 with 
further included bugfixes; to show an increasing quality towards the final 
release build.

For me the real question is " *When* do we start the beta? ". ;-) I would like 
to have a specific level of quality that we give to our users. Otherwise we will get 
spammed by bug reports which nobody wants to handle.
