Hi *, for the upcoming new version 4.2.0, the builds for rc4 are now available on pre-releases (some windows helppacks still uploading)
Besides the usual builds, there are also 64bit builds for Mac available for testing. 4.2.0 rc4 is an unscheduled release candidate and will be promoted to final if no blocking issues are found. Reminder: Starting with 4.2.0rc1, developers (and people doing some "low-level" QA) on windows can make use of the symbol server to get pdb files for debugging the release builds. The symbol server's URL is http://dev-downloads.libreoffice.org/symstore/symbols and starting with 4.2.0rc2 the symbol files are also source-indexed¹. This means the debugger can now download and display the sourcecode that corresponds to the build². see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/How_to_get_a_backtrace_with_WinDbg on how to make use of it See https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan/4.2#4.2.0_release for the complete schedule. Grab the builds from here here: http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/ The builds include the full set of languages. If you've a bit of time, please give them a try & report any severe bugs not yet in bugzilla here, so we can incorporate them into the release notes. Please note that it takes approximately 24 hours to populate the mirrors, so that's about the time we have to collect feedback. The list of fixed bugs relative to 4.2.0 RC3 is here: http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/src/bugs-libreoffice-4-2-0-release-4.2.0.4.log So playing with the areas touched there also greatly appreciated - and validation that those bugs are really fixed. Special thanks to all QA, developers, bugreporters who did make this possible. You'll find the number of bugs along with the names in the wiki ( https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/4.2.0/RC4#Thanks_to_all_who_took_part_in_handling_the_issues ) Of course also big thanks to contributors who do great work in other areas that cannot be put into numbers! Thanks a lot for your help, Christian [1] generated header files or sources of the external projects that are built as part of LibreOffice are not included.

Windows XP or Vista users might have to download and install powershell separately from the optional updates from the latest ServicePacks or from Microsoft's download site (search for Windows Management Framework) _______________________________________________ List Name: Libreoffice-qa mailing list Mail address: Libreoffice-qa@lists.freedesktop.org Change settings: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-qa Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice-qa/
