Re: [libreoffice-users] 4.0.3

Unfortunately, the "3rd digit rule" doesn't work as goog as expected...
   I use report builder in base, 4.0.3.3 version. Download 4.0.4 and
report builder no more works (crash in opening).

   thanks anyway for developers work, I remember this is a free sw, at the
end....
