Hi,

I'm happy to announce that OpenOffice.org 2.4.1rc2 is available in the Build 
Service OpenOffice.org:UNSTABLE project.


Call for testing:

It is the second and hopefully final release candidate of OOo-2.4.1 and we 
would like to ask you for testing and reporting bugs.

Installation problems:

There are some problems with the version update on older distributions. You 
might need to select the right version by hand, see

product "OpenOffice_org 2.0". Do not forget to mention enough information 
about the problem, see http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs:OOo.
