Release Notes

There are a number of known issues being worked on:

- The Windows build is an International build – you can choose the user interface language that is suitable for you. The help content is not included. We are working on the online version. Alternatively, it will be possible to install it separately.
 - The Linux and MacOSX builds are English builds with the possibility to install language packs. Please browse the archives to get the language pack you need for your platform.
– The LibreOffice branding and renaming is new and work in progress. You may still see old graphics, icons or websites. So please bear with us. This also applies to the BrOffice.org branding – applicable in Brazil.
 - Filters for the legacy StarOffice binary formats may be missing.

    Hi, thanks for the post. I installed it right away !
    It seems that there is a typo in your ubuntu installation. The second package is libobasis3.3, not lobasis3.3*.
    Anyway it’s installed as a dependency when you install libreoffice.

    I tried to follow your instructions but they don’t seem to match what I got. If I used the the file name you said there is no *.tar-1 file. If I use the SDK version there is the *.tar-1 file but everything beyond that does not match.

    Skipping step 2 did the trick for me. Just continue with the most intuitive steps. I’m just a newby and succeeded with abovementioned steps. :)

  • john

    True, that is what I had to do also. I just wanted to point out that the instructions for installing in debian needed to be corrected.

    Thanks for the reply,

    Step 4, in "Install .deb packages" makes no sense at a first glance, since you provided an absolute path:

    4- Now you need to install the LibreOffice menu entries, first cd the sub directory

    cd /Downloads/en-US/DEBS/desktop-integration

    You should probably put something like

    /home/…/LibO_3.3.0rc1_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US/DEBS/desktop-integration like in

You can actually unzip your secret archive by leaving out the -t option, instead using:

unzip newPhoto.jpg
