This is the link to the archive showing all of the older versions.  You
can choose from that list.

Personally, I use the 4.0.5 version of LibreOffice.  It is the "most
stable" of the versions, until all of the "bugs" are worked out with the
new 4.1.x line. 

In the Release Plan page
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan

This image shows that the 4.1.x line is still for "Early Adopters".

And the 4.0.5 version is "recommended" for users.

Since you need to have a "stable" version for editing and maintaining a
publication, I would stick to 4.0.5 and then 4.0.6 when it comes out. 
When 4.1.x goes to 4.0.4, then it should be ready for most users.

I make a lot of documents, posters, cards, and other "stuff" for several
organizations.  I have over 600 fonts installed on my main "working"
desktop.  I run 4.0.5 on a Ubuntu/Linux system.  I do use a Windows
laptop to test out the newest versions of the 4.1.x line, but it is not
completely ready for one of my needs.  Hopefully the issue if fixed by
4.1.4.
