[ANN] LIbreOffice 4.2.3 RC1 available

Dear Community,

The Document Foundation is pleased to announce the first release
candidate of LibreOffice 4.2.3. The upcoming 4.2.3 will be the third
in a sequence of frequent bugfix releases for our feature-packed 4.2
line. Feel free to give it a try instead of 4.2.2. Conservative users
should continue to use LibreOffice 4.1.5

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 4.2.3 RC1 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)

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:
