That the download was never 15GB... It also still uses soffice.exe et all in Windows; meaning that LO still takes over OOo if both are installed in parallel. The latter seems MS like; are LO insistent on obliterating OOo by continuing to use OOo registry entries and executable file names? LO Final is RC4 that was released on the 19th - MD5sums are the same. "carbon footprints"? Who thought that up? ... > LibreOffice 3.3 brings several unique new features.

In fact SVG import is pretty much an ongoing joke (whether it be OOo-go-oo or LO). ... Sorry, but IMO RC4/Final should have waited awhile until some of the more basic bugs were resolved. Perhaps LO are now on the distro fast-track (ala Ubuntu et al) rather than sorting out issues and releasing when fully cooked? -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
