LibreOffice was developed to be a productivity suite that is compatible with other major office suites, and available on a variety of platforms. It is free software and therefore free to download, use and distribute.

http://www.libreoffice.org/download/release-notes/
This is the first release from the 4.2 branch of LibreOffice which contains many exciting new features, and is targeted for early adopters and private power users — for conservative requirements, we refer you to LibreOffice 4.1.4 from the previous series.
 
The following notes apply:
 
    This release is bit-for-bit identical to the 4.2.0 Release Candidate 4, so you don't need to download or reinstall if you have that version already.
 
    Mac version doesn't bundle the mediawiki extension
 
    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.
 
    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.

The option to select which Modules to install has been removed from the Windows Custom install dialog...
This may mean that the quickstarter (that runs in the Task Tray in Windows) can no longer be disabled on install. It may also mean that a lot of unused languages and dictionaries are installed. I hope this is not the case.--CF
