Re: [libreoffice-users] Calc: Has anyone tested the backward-compatibility of LibreOffice 3.4?

Hi Phil,

To start with your subject line: must be, looking at the number of 
people that downloaded and tested betas etc.

Just works fine for me in 3.4.0
So it must be some special case ..?
Any point in sending me a file (offlist)?

No change intended, I guess, but I can imagine that you do not long for 
that same 1.1.4>2.2.0 experience ;-)
Still, the huge rework of code, and other repository/merge/... changes 
that have been done the last months, will for sure lead to extra discomfort.
That is why we explicitly say that the 3.4.0 is for early adaptors. The 
3.4.1 will solve many of the nasty bugs, if not all. And then there will 
be more bugfix releases in the 3.4. line.

Well, all a bit explanation. Mentioning bugs: you might also have a look 
if your specific problem has been reported already:

Thanks,
