Hi :) Sorry, i thought this was only going to the Users Support mailing list. It's the type of question that gets asked quite a lot there. Apols and regards from Tom :) On 21 June 2014 22:29, Tom Davies <tomcecf@gmail.com> wrote:
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.

Feel free to give it a try instead of 4.2.4. ...hi, I see this on the TDF blog: http://blog.documentfoundation.org/ June 20, 2014 LibreOffice 4.2.5 hits the marketplace Filed under: Announcements, LibreOffice — italovignoli @ 11:25 Berlin, June 20, 2014 – The Document Foundation announces LibreOffice 4.2.5 “Fresh”, the fifth minor release of the most feature rich version of the software, ready for enterprise deployments. For more conservative users, The Document Foundation suggests LibreOffice 4.1.6 “Stable”. etc. etc. I thought that the 4.2.5 would be considered the new "stable" release while I see the 4.1.6 is still considered "stable" and 4.2.5 is still the "fresh one" will 4.2.6 be finally considered "stable" ? correct me if I'm wrong but the 4.1.x branch started being labeled as stable from .5 release, while 4.2.x still is in the "fresh" category _______________________________________________ List Name: Libreoffice-qa mailing list Mail address: Libreoffice-qa@lists.freedesktop.org Change settings: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-qa Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more:http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/NetiquetteList archive: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice-qa/-- To unsubscribe e-mail to: l10n+unsubscribe@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/l10n/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
