Please disable 4.1.0 Update Info!
Hi,
I submitted "Issue 124913 - Disable 4.1.0 Update Info"
<https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=124913>
because I think that it would be irresponsible to encourage users to
update to 4.1.0 with known issue.
I also think that there should be a hint in 4.1.0 Release Notes under
"Known issues"

Would it be appropriate to entirely remove the "Automatic check for update" link and simply leave the manual "Check for updates" on the Help menu?

I agree with Andrea that version 4.1.0 is the best version we can offer.

I provided some further information regarding issue 124717 as an issue
comment. Please have a look.

Yes, a 4.1.1 with the one or the other fix of a serious bugfix make
sense from my point of view.

I have provided a workaround in the above mentioned issue comment.
If someone can confirm it, the workaround could be added to the "Known
issues" text.

I'm not sure this would give any results. Maybe OpenOffice caches the
update information, so one would still get the update notification even
if we retire it. But in general, 4.1.0 is the best version we can offer.
You cite https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=124717 as the
reason but the root cause for it is an issue that has existed since
2010, and it took a huge effort and many misunderstandings before you
found a way to reproduce it.
I agree, though, that we should consider a 4.1.1, and maybe schedule it
for June; we already have a couple of new languages and some bugfixes,
we have an ongoing session of post-release tests and in a few weeks
we'll probably be ready to wrap it up and see what's best to do.
> I also think that there should be a hint in 4.1.0 Release Notes under

Sure. I see it's there now and it's good to have it there.

Andrea.
