Hello Tom,

I do indeed not know whether your post was sarcastic or not, but let me
assure you that LibreOffice 3.6 will have bugs. So will the 3.7, the
Linux kernel, Windows 8, the systems management software of the future
US nuclear powerplants, the 3 redundant in-flight systems of Boeings and
Airbuses, the 20 next Firefox versions and pretty much software, past,
present and future. That's the way software is and works

We focus on the upcoming launch of the 3.6 here, and yes, we are
advertising new features and how cool the new version is.

Thanks!

Charles.

Hi :)
No, i really am happy to see so many new features.  It's always the way.  MSO also has tons of 
new features but it has quite a few years between releases compared to LO's 6months or so.  
Personally i find LO is far more sophisticated in the way it handles the simple things i need it 
for.  I suspect the rapid development out-strips MS's by quite a long way even tho it's not 
always things i'm ever likely to use.  Other people might and might be looking for something with 
that sort of functionality.  We are all different and have different requirements.  

Also, apart from me, the attitude is very positive, friendly and there is a "can do" attitude 
that fits well with the underlaying assumption that even new users can learn new tricks.  These 
are things that put TDF on a plateau far above any competitors.  People that haven't yet tried LO 
are missing out.  
Regards from
Tom :)

Tom, is it really necessary for you to be so bloody sarcastic and
negative every time someone mentions features and new releases? I
don't think so. What's your problem anyway?

Hi :)
Wow!!  That shows a LOT of features and improvements over an already excellent product.

I like the box at the bottom showing a  bug and a work-around for it.  Does that mean that all 
bugs are fixed now?  None outstanding anywhere?  We can presumably be certain that real-world 
machines wont find any unexpected new bugs?  New features never leads to new bugs, right?  
Unknown bugs don't exist until after they have been widely reported of course.

So, lets ignore all those new features and just sell the 3.6.0 on it having no bugs (well 1 but 
it's easy to work-around and will get fixed soon).  That's all we need to say about it surely?
Regards from
Tom :)

I fixed a problem with the URL. The page can now be found at: 
https://www.libreoffice.org/download/3-6-new-features-and-fixes  so that it matches the other 
release page URL's

All images are now "colorbox" items rather than links (as per Christian's suggestion on the 
website list).


I especially like the box at the bottom with details of bugs that aren't fixed yet. That's a 
small but stand-out feature that you just don't see in commercial marketing and I think it 
speaks well of TDF - well done.
