The final serial comma is generally preferred in US English, which is 
the dialect in which I intended to write the release notes. See 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_comma for more discussion.

I should be consistent on whether to quote the Bugzilla titles, but 
there is a good case for quoting them. I'll consider that, and look at 
it both ways, when I do the formatted version for the Wiki.

A 4.1.2 regression, https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=126622,
"Base 4.1.2 does not open Tables and Queries in Mac OSX", does not
reproduce in 4.1.3.

Hello,

Can you please write to the wiki, then we can start to create translations.

see for example 4.1.2:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+4.1.2+Release+Notes


Or should _I_ transfer your text to the wiki?

 
Greetings,
Jörg

I would like to get this into the Wiki, but unfortunately it is 
Confluence based. It will go faster if a confluence-skilled volunteer 
does the conversion.

Here is an updated version. Because of the lack of solid confirmation, I 
am deleting the paragraph about the 4.1.2 Mac OSX regression. If it does 
turn out to be fixed, we can announce that separately. I think it looks 
better with quotes around the bug titles.
