[ANN] Apache OpenOffice 4.1.0 Beta released
The Apache OpenOffice project is pleased to announce the immediate
availability of OpenOffice 4.1.0 Beta You can download it from our
website [1].
We release Beta versions of OpenOffice to get early feedback from
users. Beta versions may have more bugs than GA releases and may not
be suitable for tasks which require the highest level of stability.
Beta versions are recommended for experienced users who are willing to
share their feedback with the OpenOffice project.
The 4.1.0 Beta update includes many bug fixes as well as new
translations: Bulgarian, Danish, Hindi, Norwegian Bokmål and Thai.
Highlight of this new version is the integrated iAccessible2 support
that is a huge milestone to support users with disabilities better on
the windows platform. It's the work of many month of development and QA.
Details of new features and enhancements in this release are described
in the Release Notes [2].
Those interested in the source code can download it via the links on
this page [3].
Bug reports can be entered in our Bugzilla database, details can be
found under [4]. Questions and other feedback, good or bad, can be sent
to our users mailing list at users@openoffice.apache.org.
Thanks in advance to our Beta Testers!
Regards,
Juergen Schmidt, Apache OpenOffice Release Manager and member of the
Project Management Committee

You put it in far kinder and gentler terms than I would have and that he deserved
IMHO.

John, please forgive me if I appear not to be the brightest bulb;
however, if an email you receive clearly states it is a beta test, why
did you bother to waste an hour of your life? The next question, why
fill up my inbox with a note that clearly blames someone else for
something you chose to do?
Thank you for listening -
One of the Elderly who is very thankful for those who created this
product and have patience to wait for them to get if finished before
trying the updated version.

We don't. This release, while being a beta release, went through all the
usual quality checks we do for "real" releases, including gathering
feedback for three days on the dev list where dozen of volunteers stated
it was ready to be tested by the general public.
We are unaware of any major bugs in this beta. So if you found a bug
it's a real bug. We don't throw out stuff just for you to test. If you
give more details you'll help us in making our final 4.1 release better.
Regards,
Andrea.

We all give time to support this wonderful project - it's not time lost but
given to Openoffice.

The mail you cited has 4 links - the first one leads to the compiled AOO
4.1.0 Beta.

Bad.

The Mail you cited states clearly:

So: This version is not for you. You have been warned.

Fixing the crappy finder in OSX maybe beyond the scope of AOO.

Thank you for an hour of my life lost forever!
The link leads to a site to download the source files - no use to me.
I eventually found a link to the executable but when installed it only produced frequent errors and was difficult to uninstall.
Please don't send links to untested releases to users like myself who are unable to deal with them.
When the final version is released I'm sure I will be grateful for your efforts. (Particularly if you fix the minor bugs relating to Finder in OSX Mavericks.)
Nonetheless, thank you for a great free program.
John
