Dear Community, The Document Foundation is pleased to announce the third (the second wasn't officially released) Beta release of LibreOffice 5.0.0. The upcoming 5.0.0 will be the tenth major release of LibreOffice, coming with a bunch of new features beside the usual bugfixes.
The Beta3 can be installed alongside the stable version, so feel free to give it a try. Beta3 is not ready for production yet, and while in feature freeze, final UI and string freeze is yet to come, and translations are not complete. A work-in-progress list of new features in LibreOffice 5.0 can be found at https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/5.0 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 There is also a 64bit version available for Windows (please note that the 64bit version requires Windows Vista or newer, while the 32bit version runs on Windows XP or later) Should you find bugs, please report them to our Bugzilla at https://bugs.documentfoundation.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: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Testing/Regression_Tests#Full_Regression_Test Feel free to join other QA volunteers in the upcoming BugHunting session - details at https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugHunting_Session_5.0.0_RC1 For other ways to get involved with this exciting project - you can e.g. contribute code: http://www.libreoffice.org/community/developers/ translate LibreOffice to your language: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/LibreOffice_Localization_Guide or help with funding our operations: http://donate.libreoffice.org/ A list of known issues and fixed bugs with 5.0.0 Beta3 is available from our wiki: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/5.0.0/Beta3 Let us close again with a BIG Thank You! to all of you having contributed to the LibreOffice project - this release would not have been possible without your help.
