Advanced users who would like to patch their copy of LibreOffice Portable 4.0.0 to 4.0.0.3 without using the platform, download the 1MB patch file and install it to your existing LibreOffice Portable directory just as if you were upgrading the app.

Platform users automatically get this file when checking for updates as always.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

John, does the platform update/install provide a way to remove the extra language packs yet or is that still only available via a manual install? I'd love to be able to use the platform to keep this updated but only if I can keep those extra languages removed! I haven't gotten around to updating from 3.6.5 yet because of that. Thanks...

It is manual install only. It still takes longer to install and only saves 110MB in one of the standard languages (English, French, etc) so it doesn't make much of a difference size or speed wise these days.

That 110 MB represents about 1/3 of the app's size! For me, it's worth trimming out. Guess I'll just keep going the manual update route then.
