We listen :-) Well, the testing can be done even with Dev builds. I installed the daily build from http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/Linux-x86_64_11-Release-Configuration/master/current/ and did the following steps: 1. started the official libreoffice3.6, modified some settings, and stopped it 2. removed ~/.config/libreoffice/3/MIGRATED 3. removed ~/.config/lodev/4 4. started lodev4.0 Result: Most of the setting changes were migrated. The only problem I found was Tools/Options/LibreOffice/Appearance because there are named schemes (LibreOffice vs. LoDev). Well, this can be tested as well if you create your own scheme. IMHO, the question is if we really need to spend resources on special dialog or special support. Note that we do not migrate configuration between minor releases. So this testing is needed only once every few years. Another solution would be to build 4.0-betas with release configuration. I guess that it can be installed in parallel with LO-3 even on Windows because it uses another prefix, ... How does that sound?
