Well, it SAYS that it's beta. I still don't recommend anyone using beta

a "production machine"...the beta build numbers usually have something
"less than" the
actual final version number...hence the 3.2.99 major...and the .2 for
(beta 2)

the website. Yet, when I open "About LibreOffice", I see
LibreOffice3.3.0 -- OOO330m9 (Build:1) libreoffice-build 3.2.99.2.
Nothing tells me whether I have the final version, a preliminary
version, a nightly build or...
I know I am able to find the proper information, but think about my
mother, or think about me, when I want to update my colleagues'
computers and can't easily see what version they have.
