Dear Community, Special announcement: From October 30th - November 1st there will be another bughunting session - Please visit https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugHunting_Session_5.1.0.0 for details The Document Foundation is pleased to announce the first release candidate of LibreOffice 5.0.3. The upcoming 5.0.3 will be the third bugfix release of our fresh 5.0 line. Please be aware that LibreOffice 5.0.3 RC1 has not been flagged as ready for production use yet, however feel free to give it a try instead of 5.0.2. A work-in-progress list of new features in LibreOffice 5.0 can be found at https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/5.0 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/ Windows builds are also provided in 64bit version. Should you find bugs, please report them to our Bugzilla: https://bugs.documentfoundation.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: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Testing/Regression_Tests#Full_Regression_Test For other ways to get involved with this exciting project - you can e.g. contribute code: http://www.libreoffice.org/community/developers/ translate LibreOffice to your language: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/LibreOffice_Localization_Guide or help with funding our operations: http://donate.libreoffice.org/ A list of known issues and fixed bugs compared to 5.0.2 final (rc2) is available from our wiki: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/5.0.3/RC1 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.
