Dear Community,
The Document Foundation is pleased to announce the fourth release
candidate of our new LibreOffice 4.1. The upcoming 4.1 will be our
sixth major release in two and a half years, and comes with a nice set
of new features. Please be aware that LibreOffice 4.1 RC4 is not ready
yet for production use, you should continue to use LibreOffice 4.0.4
for that.
Provided no showstoppers are found, no further release candidates are
planned.
You can find a (work-in-progress) list of new features for 4.1 on this
page - please feel free to extend with stuff we've missed, or amend
text-only descriptions with nice screenshots:

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 release candidate quality is to run some
specific manual tests on it, our TCM wiki page has more details:

been possible without your help.
