Re: [libreoffice-users] LO Calc crashes

Hi :)
LibreOffice develops so fast that by the time most other software would be releasing updates and 
patches LO is releasing a new version.  The next version in the same branch tends to be just 
bug-fixes but in the newer branch you get bug-fixes and new features (although those new features 
may have introduced unexpected new problems or unearthed old ones that had previously been hidden.  

So although you don't get a splattering of bug-fixes, patches and security patches you do get a 
very much smoother of the entire program.  
Regards from 
Tom :)
