Hello,
https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download/ says: LO 6.1.4 is for technology enthusiasts and
6.0.7 is for enterprises
or conservative users. I read: 6.1.4 is development and 6.0.7 is stable.
development happens on "master", and new features may be backported not
to 6.1 but only to the 6.2 branch, but not any more right now (IIRC)
because there is already a 6.2.0 RC2.
the 6.1 branch only gets bugfixes, but (as always) bugfixes may carry
their own risk of introducing new bugs, which cannot be prevented with
100% certainty.
When I reported that building the conservative version fails, the answer on this mailing list was,
that 6.0.7 is dead. [
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan/6.0]
there will be a 6.2 release very soon, so at that point 6.1 will be
declared the "stable" branch.
Please either align the Download area not to offer for installation end of life versions, or
explain what is the point
of delivering software for the enterprise, that is not supported.
TDF does not and has never claimed to deliver enterprise support for any
of its software; that sort of thing is available from downstream
commercial service providers, who maintain release branches with a much
longer support life-time than TDF releases.
perhaps the Download page could be adapted to make that more obvious?
