Hi Tim,

It's great to hear from you and great to hear that you're "back in the
saddle," as it were! It's a bit early for beer, but I'll drink this
glass of water to your health!

Let's see... 5.0 is coming out at the end of July:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan#5.0_release

About a month earlier, 4.4.4 is releasing in the 2nd half of June:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan#4.4_release

I'd guess that 4.4.4 would probably be your best bet for packaging,
but I'd suggest that you keep your eye on 5.0. As the first in the
release series *and* with a major version bump, it's quite possible
that there may be a few rough edges, but OTOH, it's going to have a
bunch of new improvements (and we all know how much users say they
want shiny new things ;-)

Best,
