Hello,

If you already have LibO in your Applications, you will be asked to
replace the LibO already there.
I think it's important to mention this, since it may confuse newbies...

No uninstall necessary, just overwrite the existing LibO folder in Apps.

Existing prefs, words added to dictionaries, extensions, autotext,
templates, etc. are kept in <username>Libraries>Application
Support>LibreOffice>3 that isn't affected when you install a new
(minor) version.

Just to add my devaluating € 0,02
