LibreOffice 5.0 Beta 1 Is Out, Stable Version to Land by the End of July
The bug hunting season has been declared opened

The first Beta for LibreOffice 5.0 has been released by The Document Foundation and the bug hunting season has been declared officially opened.
Every Time a new branch is made available to the public, a new bug hunting session is started. What people don't usually realize is that LibreOffice is developed by volunteers and not paid employees. This bug hunting session is a good way to identify some of the most pressing problems and to set some priorities for the new cycle.

"The first LibreOffice 5.0 Bug Hunting Session starts tomorrow at 08AM UTC, to catch bugs and regressions on the first beta of the software. The session will last until May 24, 2015. On those dates, mentors will be available from 08AM UTC to 10PM UTC to help less experienced volunteers to triage bugs, on the QA IRC channel and via email on the QA mailing list. Those who cannot join during the bug hunting session are always welcome to help chasing bugs and regressions when they have time," reads the announcement from The Document Foundation.

As it stands right now, installing LibreOffice 5.0 Beta 1 should be left to the users who really need it. It will take a while to sort things through, and it's very likely that it's unstable and pretty much unusable on production machines. You can download LibreOffice 5.0 Beta 1 right now from Softpedia.
The final version of LibreOffice 5.0 is expected at the end of July, 2015.

Doesn't matter how good you claim it to be, but no ribbon-inspired GUI, no use.
