The 3.3.x line will be ending with 3.3.5, and 3.4.x will end with 3.4.5. Before that happens, the 3.5.x line will start.

What happens is the newest "line" is used as the "most cutting edge" for its first few versions. Once it gets past 3.x.3, it starts being stable for businesses and "enterprise" use. The initial "cutting edge" options have most of their bugs fixed and it becomes the "default" version people will start using.

You could use 3.3.4, but for the best ability and options, you need to go to 3.4.3 or 3.4.4 [with 3.4.4 just coming out] I use both. These versions read and write the Microsoft Office .docx and the other "x" file formats better than the 3.3.x line, or at least in my opinion.

Soon 3.5.x will come out for those who want to have the "most cutting edge" version of LibreOffice. For businesses, I would stick with 3.4.4, or 3.3.4 but would prefer to have the 3.4.x line being used.

If you want to use 3.4.3, since 3.4.4 just came out http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ holds the past versions. As I said, I use both 3.4.3 and 3.4.4. Actually the 3.4.3 version is still on my Ubuntu desktop since I have not updated it yet. My Windows laptop, and a few other Windows machines, have all been updated to 3.4.4.

Subject: [libreoffice-users] Differences between LibreOffice 3.3 and 3.4

Recently, we've started the second phase of our company-wide migration
from OpenOffice.org 3.2 to 3.3 and have encountered massive problems on
our Linux terminal servers. They were so big that we've decided to put
the project on hold for now and start looking for alternatives.
Obviously, LibreOffice is our #1 choice here. However, even though I've
been browsing the LO website for two days now I am unable to decide
whether 3.3 or 3.4 would be better for us. As far as I can see they are
both recommended for enterprise use in production environments but what
I'm missing is a clear marketing-bubble free technical comparison. Does
that exist? Or maybe an overview over what (enterprise-related) features
3.4 might have that 3.3 doesn't?

Thanks in advance,
   Martin
