Dear Community,
The Document Foundation is happy to announce the first release candidate of LibreOffice 3.6.1. The upcoming 3.6.1 will be the second in a series of frequent bugfix releases for our 3.6 code line. Please be aware that LibreOffice 3.6.1 RC1 is not yet ready for production use, you should continue to use LibreOffice 3.5.6 or 3.6.0 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/
Should you find bugs, please report them to the FreeDesktop Bugzilla:
A good way to assess the beta quality is to run some specific manual tests on it, our TCM wiki page has more details:
