Dear Community,

The Document Foundation is pleased to announce the second release
candidate of LibreOffice 4.4.0. The upcoming 4.4.0 will be the ninth
major release of LibreOffice, coming with a bunch of new features
beside the usual bugfixes.

RC2 is in release configuration and can be be installed alongside the
stable version on linux and Mac OS X, but will update an earlier
version on Windows.

RC2 is not ready for production yet (there is one additional RC
planned), and while it marks hard code freeze, translations are
not all up-to-date yet.

A work-in-progress list of new features in LibreOffice 4.4 can be
found at https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/4.4

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/

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:

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


​Wonderful work, Christian ; we users are in your debt and that of all the
developers !​

​I am particularly glad to see that the «Find and replace»​ button has
become part of the standard toolbar setup i Writer ; I have always meant to
ask why this most useful feature was not given the priority (I thought) it
deserved - but now, at last, it has !...

Henri
