Hello LibreOffice Website Guys,


My mom got a notification in LibreOffice that an LibreOffice 4.1.5 is available (she had 4.1.3 or similar). The only choice was a manual update which opened the browser at
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/
which automatically forwarded to
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/
And there was a "LibreOffice Fresh" 4.2.1 available.

So two confusions arose:
1. What the Heck is "LibreOffice Fresh"?
2. Why are (normal) users advised to go for 4.1.5, but the website redirects to 4.2.1?


To be precise on the Naming/Explaining inconsistency:

I could not find "LibreOffice Fresh" explained anywhere. The string just appears. Not even one sentence what this is about. https://www.libreoffice.org/download/release-notes/ introduces 4.2.* but also no mentioning of "Fresh".

Additionally the usage of that "string" isn't even at all consistent:

At
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/
on the bottom I see 4.1.5 *and* 4.2.1 listed as "stable".

Under
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/?type=rpm-x86_64&version=4.1.5&lang=en-US
you do get 4.1.5 under the "LibreOffice Fresh" label.


Anyways, the idea to have an early adopters version labeled "LibreOffice Fresh" is fine, but that needs to be communicated! Yes, some users wouldn't care if it says "LibreOffice Trojan Edition" and install it anyways, but others actually do read what it says and get more and more confused the more they try to find out what this means.


Greetings
JonnyJD
