Mac release

Hi,

Issue 122732 [1]reminded me of the problem on Mac where the system 
complains that the AOO installation packaged does not come from the 
Apple app store.  As Ariel pointed out, this is covered in the release 
notes for AOO 3.4.0 and 3.4.1.

I am not sure that that many users would find the note in the release 
notes, follow the link to the solution and fix it.
I wonder if it would be a good idea to explain this at a more visible 
place, like the download button for the Mac version.  Does anybody know 
if that is possible?

-Andre

We should add this again to Release Notes for 4.0.0 and Install Guide.

I'm not sure about this one. This happens as soon as correct download is
identified by the Download page?

Sure, the wording is always changeable.

Actually I wanted to create a TOC for the release notes. However, it's 
still locked by Herbert or Andre. Then we will have the headlines as 
links and I can use the "Kniwn Issues" as jump label in the URL.

That's good.

@Andre, all:
What do you think: Keep or leave? I just need to know this how to handle

I've decreased the font size a bit. And remember only 1) or 2) will 
survive at the end. Currently it's duplicated which maybe supports the 
too prominent look & feel.

I like 1 better, too.  But it still looks too prominent.  We don't want 
to scare our users (when only a minority will run into this problem).  
Maybe an explanation in the release notes is enough.

maybe change wording to "Click here for known installation issues"

I know this is going to the Release Notes page...but maybe we should focus
on highlighting "installation".

 I just edited Release Notes to duplicate the Mac OS X info in the
Upgrading/Installing section. Left it in Known Issues as well.

It is possible. However I don't like to have an exception for users of 
platform X. This would make the "index.html" more unreadable than it is 
already.

Therefore I've created a general text and link to the release notes (of 
course, it's still intermediate):

http://ooo-site.staging.apache.org/download/test/index.html

1) Directly in the main green box.
2) In a second sub-green box.

Please have a look and tell what you think. IMHO 1) is better.
