Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Re: [Libreoffice-qa] [ANN] LIbreOffice 4.2.5 RC2 available

Hi :)
4.2.3 was far enough along the 4.2.x branch to be called "stable" by most
people.  Many of us wait until the x.x.4, so in this branch's case it was
the 4.2.4.  The 4.2.5 is likely to be rock solid.

Actually many people even find the very first release in a branch to be
plenty stable enough for them and that first release is the best one to use
if you want to grab attention for a specific bug, such as a long-running
issue that doesn't seem to bother anyone else.

I think Jay is right, they probably wont call the 4.2.x branch "stable"
until there is a newer branch that they can call "fresh" but i think that
even the most conservative of us have considered the 4.2.x branch to be
stable for quite some time now.

Regards from
Tom :)
