Hi,

The Document Foundation is pleased to announce the second Beta release
of our new LibreOffice 4.1. The upcoming 4.1 will be our sixth major
release in two and a half years, and comes with a nice set of new
features. Please be aware that LibreOffice 4.1 Beta2 is not ready yet
for production use, you should continue to use LibreOffice 4.0.3 for
that.

For further milestones towards 4.1, please refer to our release plan
timings here:

 https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan/4.1#4.1.0_release

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

  http://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/

and in:

 https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/libreoffice-prereleases

you will find a very early packaging build for 4.1beta2 for Ubuntu saucy. The
Ubuntu PPA builders had trouble coping with the size of this build. To have a
build for testing at all multiple measurements had to be taken, the most
drastic being disabling Java and KDE. With the former also:
- disabling building the fancy new autopkgtests -- I ran them locally though
- make the libreoffice metapackage uninstallable as it depends on reportbuilder
  (which depends on Java and thus is not build)
  run something like:
     apt-get install libreoffice-writer libreoffice-impress libreoffice-calc

I hate to make the beta public like this, but before getting no testing at all,
I push this out in the current state with a big red warning label.

Best,

Bjoern
