[ANN] LibreOffice 4.0.3 RC1 available

Dear Community,

The Document Foundation is pleased to announce the first release
candidate of our upcoming LibreOffice 4.0.3. This will be the third in
a series of frequent updates to our feature-packed 4.0 branch. Please
be aware that LibreOffice 4.0.3 RC1 is not ready for production use,
you should continue to use LibreOffice 4.0.2 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:

  https://bugs.freedesktop.org

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:

been possible without your help.

Dear Community,

due to a build issue on Mac, that resulted in non-working python
extensions, just pushed and published new Mac x86 install sets for
4.0.3 RC1. The source tarballs, lang packs and all other platforms
remain unmodified. Apologies for the mistake.

With kind regards,

-- Thorsten
