Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Is 3.5.4 ready for business users?

Hi :)
I think it's important to test-drive a new branch on one non-production machine as soon as possible so that they can post bug-reports about their favourite features if there is a problem.  Then a quick try of the various sub-point releases to check single issues would be smart.  There is usually a noticeable drop off in the number of questions to the list once a branch reaches .4 but this last week or so there seems to have been a spike instead.  
However, most of those questions have not been about the 3.5.4 (or have been tested on other releases too) so it's got to be worth trying the 3.5.4.
Regards from
Tom :)

What is the problem with 3.5? What are your conclusions when a user like 
me or Tom states that everything is fine with 3.5? I am a completely 
untypical user who skipped the whole 3.4 series after writing a bunch of 
bug reports. Tom has an entirely non-technical view on the project. The 
overall service quality of this particular user list is really bad.

The bug tracker can tell all unresolved issues that do exist in 3.5 but 
not in 3.4? Don't ask me how. I file my bugs to the AOO tracker where it 
serves both projects.
