LibreOffice community working hard to make the next major release the best ever

Berlin, June 17, 2014 – The Document Foundation (TDF) announces the second LibreOffice 4.3 bug hunting session, from June 20 to June 22. The community has already made a large collective effort to make LibreOffice 4.3 the best ever, based on automated stress tests and structured tests by Quality Assurance volunteers.

Enterprise and individual LibreOffice users can now contribute to the quality of the best free office suite ever by testing the release candidate to identify issues in their preferred user scenario.

Participating is easy. Details of the bug hunting session are on TDF wiki (https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugHunting_Session_4.3.0_RC1). The list of LibreOffice 4.3 new features, which have to be tested for bugs and regressions, is also on the wiki: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/4.3.

To participate, it will be necessary to have a PC with Windows, MacOS or Linux, and LibreOffice 4.3 RC1 (available at http://www.libreoffice.org/pre-releases). A previous Quality Assurance experience is not mandatory.

Filing bugs is also easy, thanks to the help of the experienced volunteers who will be around on the QA mailing list (libreoffice-qa@lists.freedesktop.org) and IRC channel (irc://irc.freenode.net/#libreoffice-qa).
