use, you should continue to use LibreOffice for that".

What is new in LibreOffice 3.3.1 RC 1:

• new gorgeous mimetype icons
  As you may have noticed, the 3.3 version don't have new mimetype icons (for presentations, .odt files, databases, etc). The icons are just beautiful, well done, serious and full with the new LibreOffice branding.
  The interesting part is that this icons already suffered some improvement even if were not actually included.
