14 DAY TRIAL // The Document Foundation announces that the second RC version of LibreOffice 4.2.5 (and probably the last) has been released and is now available for testing.
The developers from The Document Foundation have launched the second Release Candidate for the 4.2.5 branch. It's not as big as the previous version in the series and the final build should be just around the corner.
According to the changelog, the text position in grouped list is now correct, the translated frame styles have been fixed, the RTF color table export has been fixed, the show can now be started at a selected slide, a heuristic algorithm has been added to ignore the mangled crop values, different XML attribute names for Asian and complex fonts are now used, the correct way to determine the end position for matrix check is now used, and various other fixes have been implemented.
In order to install it, you will need to enter a few commands in a terminal (you will need to be root in order for this to work): sudo apt-get purge LibreOffice-core sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-4-2 sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install LibreOffice Remember that this is a development version and it should NOT be installed on production machines. It is intended for testing purposes only.
