Directory of LO beta installation files?

Post by prr »

Is there a link to old beta versions of LO? I saw this directory, but am not sure if these are betas or not: https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/

I like to install betas of a new version first, as they easily install into their own folder, and then if there aren't any glitches, I install the new release over my current installation. I have noticed that they only keep the beta versions linked to in their Download page, up for a week or so. It would be nice to go back and d/l and install the most recent beta into its own folder on my laptop, to test drive it for a few days, so I'd like to know where I can find them if they are not linked to in the official LO download page (https://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/)
LO 7.1.6.2 on Windows 10

Have you asked on the LO mailing list?

I sugest you: use a portable version instead of the Betas. The portable versions work in similar way.

Portable Apps versions:

winPenPack versions:
