Dear Community,

The Document Foundation is pleased to announce the second release
candidate of LibreOffice 4.2.0. The upcoming 4.2.0 will bring new
features and lots of bugfixes. Check out
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/4.2 for an
(incomplete and work-in-progress) list of the new features.
Please be aware that LibreOffice 4.2.0 RC2 is not been flagged as ready
for production use yet, you should continue to use LibreOffice 4.1.4 for that.

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/

LibreOffice 4.2.0 RC2 is also available in a 64bit version for Mac OS
X 10.8 (or newer)

Developers and QA might also be interested in the symbol server for
windows debug information (see the release notes linked below for
details). Beginning with RC2, the debug symbols are also source-indexed.

Should you find bugs, please report them to the FreeDesktop Bugzilla:

  https://bugs.freedesktop.org

A good way to assess the release candidate quality is to run some
specific manual tests on it, our TCM wiki page has more details:

Let us close again with a BIG Thank You! to all of you having
contributed to the LibreOffice project - this release would not have
been possible without your help.

On behalf of the Community,

Christian
