Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Bug saving as .xls format - loses a name reference

3.3.4 is scheduled to come out on August 31st.

3.4.2 is scheduled to come out on July 27th.

I read on one of the LO pages that 3.4.2 may be "enterprise ready", but 
I will think it would be better to wait till 3.4.3 before I would 
consider it ready for businesses.  We will see what the bug reports have 
to say then.

Right now, I am distributing 3.3.3 to people I know for their businesses 
and home use.  I do not want to confuse them on which version is for 
which use.

The statement - "has a full years support" - is a question for me about 
what you mean.  Are you saying that we will support 3.3.3 for a full 
calendar year before telling people they must upgrade to a newer 
version, or are you saying that the 3.3.x line has been worked on for a 
full year?  I am not sure what your are saying.  If you have a link that 
references that statement, I would like to have it and read what it 
states - plus print it in PDF format for later use.
