Dear Community,
The Document Foundation is happy to announce the fourth release
candidate of LibreOffice 3.6.0. The upcoming 3.6.0 will be our fourth
major release in two years, and comes with a nice set of new
features. Please be aware that LibreOffice 3.6.0 RC4 is not ready for
production use, you should continue to use LibreOffice 3.5.5 for that.
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/
The (still growing) list of features for the upcoming 3.6.0 is on our
wiki - please help filling gaps there, e.g. by providing more
screenshots:

Should you find bugs, please report them to the FreeDesktop Bugzilla:
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:
