This is the first release from the 4.1 branch of LibreOffice.
LibreOffice 4.1.0 contains many exciting new features, and is suitable for early adopters and private power users — for conservative requirements, we refer you to LibreOffice 4.0.4 from the previous series.
The following notes apply:
- This release is bit-for-bit identical to the 4.1.0 Release Candidate 4, so you don't need to download or reinstall if you have that version already.
- The distribution for Windows is an international build, so you can choose the user interface language that you prefer. Help content is available via an online service, or alternatively as a separate install.
- Our Windows binaries are digitally signed by The Document Foundation.
- For Windows users that have OpenOffice.org installed, we advise uninstalling that beforehand, because it registers the same file type associations.
- If you run Linux, the GCJ Java variant has known issues with LibreOffice, we advise to e.g. use OpenJDK instead.
- LibreOffice 4.x drops a few long-deprecated features, including support for legacy binary StarOffice files, export to legacy Word and Excel (version 6.0/95), and legacy ODMA document management.
- Some menu entries have changed or added. If you miss something, that may be due to the use of customised menu settings from your previous LibreOffice installation.
- This version still contains a few annoying bugs, as listed here. Specifically, for Debian/Ubuntu users, make sure that you completely uninstall your distribution version of LibreOffice prior to the 4.1.0 install.
