Hi :) Wow!! It seems the alpha pre-release versions of 4.2.x branch are already stable enough to use! People from the Accessibility Mailing List have already been test-driving it!! That is normal users who are blind, deaf, etc or partially so. I guess deafness isn't an issue.
4.2.x is still alpha (or early beta) so for most users i would still avoid it but if you have a machine where you can test-drive without losing access to your main install on your main machine then it might be worth trying the "nightly builds"!! I think they are here http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/win/x86/ I think you get bonus kudos points if you test-drive the Accessibility features and find anything to post bug-reports about. It is probably better to join the QA Team if you do test-drive the 4.2.x but if you are only going for a quick spin rather than seriously tracking down bugs then there is no need. Good luck to all and happy hunting!!
