LibreOffice 3.4.2 Released - Slackware packages available!

August 2nd, 2011 by Niels Horn in ,

Today (or yesterday, depending on your timezone) 3.4.2 was .

Officially stable

This is the first release from the 3.4 series that is officially declared stable enough for enterprise use. So now we can all retire our 3.3.x installations and start using 3.4.2.
I admit that I've been using the 3.4 versions since 3.4.0, but I'm not an "enterprise" user, just a private person that uses lots of spreadsheets and writes a few documents.

Previous script works

This release was a nice test for the changes I introduced with the 3.4.1 update…
I tried building the 3.4.2 version with "VERSION=3.4.2 ./libreoffice.SlackBuild" and it worked flawlessly :)
So if you downloaded the 3.4.1 version from SlackBuilds.org's git repo or from my site, you do not have to download the newer version - nothing has changed except the version number and the md5 checksums.

New script and packages

While we're waiting for the next public update on SlackBuilds.org, you can get the new script or the complete packages from .
Well, actually, they're still being uploaded as I write this, but they should be there in a while ;)
