Hi :)
At the moment we recommend a 3rd party called "Portable Apps" but it seems they are sometimes quite 
slow about getting the new versions of LibreOffice onto their systems.  "WinPenPack" seem to do the 
job a LOT faster and they cover every release  but we don't even mention them.  
http://sourceforge.net/projects/winpenpack/files/X-LibreOffice/releases/


Could we have them listed as an alternative to "Portable Apps"?  I'm not talking about a radical 
redesign.  Just adding a list, somewhere near the bottom of the page, of links to other companies 
that do the same thing.  
Regards from 
Tom :)

Now, if we can just get a new branch of LO (x.y.0) to stop overwriting an 
older branch (x.x.7) by default, I would a most happy man.

Actually that is only true under Windows. Under Linux and Mac the default is
parallel install.

In any case if you prefer to play it safe don't install any new versions
under Windows. Just keep your x.x.7 build installed and use a portable
version from winPenPack for testing. They are usually available a day or two
after the official release by TDF at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/winpenpack/files/X-LibreOffice/releases/
and you can run as many as you like simultaneously.
