Hi, one possible reason is that we have no reliable regressions information, see my posting Re: 4.1. Regressions 2014-03-30 20:00 on QA list. Without reliable information I will not risk to replace my stable version by an RC, and there might be (regression) bugs what can not be observed with server installations, only with real installations - and intensive real life work with RC.

Re: [RELEASE]: propose AOO 4.1.0 RC
Hi Jürgen, all the question is why we got some showstoppers so late where the code is in the snapshots since last year. We make a beta and received no critical feedback and when we start RC builds we receive one showstopper one after another. We shave to think how we can in the future. I think you already answered your own question... The problem is that the Beta installs to a different path... Actually for real testing it's worse than a daily/nigthly build.

We spend a lot of time in preparing the RC in time and the upload is ongoing. The MacOS and Windows versions are already available and the Linux upload is still ongoing. But keep in mind the binaries are for convenience and the release relevant bits are the source release. The RC builds can be found as always under https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Development+Snapshot+Builds An overview of the fixes issues, enhancements and tasks going into this release can be found under http://people.apache.org/~jsc/milestones/4.1.0-rc/AOO4.1.0_RC_fixes.html . I invite all volunteers to help with the verification of the fixed issues. Especially the issues related to translation updates/fixes should be verified by native speakers. A related RAT scan can be found under http://people.apache.org/~jsc/milestones/4.1.0-rc/AOO4.1.0_RAT_Scan.html I have also prepared patches (msp) for Windows and for the languages we have released with AOO 4.0.1. The patches are intended for private use only and of course for testing but not for the release. It's the first time that we prepared a complete set of patches and we have to test the functionality a little bit more. The related full install sets are prepared for patches in the future and can release patches in the future as well if they work as expected. By the way I have upgraded AOO 4.0.1

Thanks! On Fri, Apr 4, 2014 at 3:13 PM, Pedro Lino pedl...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all First of all I would like to say that I'm *really* happy that update patches have arrived for the Windows OS. I was almost sure that I would never see this in a StarOffice derivative. Kudos to the AOO developers! I have installed scenario 2 (- Upgrade install 4.1.0 over an existing 4.0.1) with en_US and PT under Windows XP Pro x86 SP3 en_US. Overall everything seems to be working perfectly but there is a small quirk: the Startup Group for 4.0.1 is not removed so you end up with two startup groups with different names pointing at the same folder. In addition the OpenOffice logo shows on the 4.0.1 group but not on the 4.1.0. I know these are small cosmetic problems but could be confusing for users. I can create a bugzilla report if necessary.
