Why on earth does the OO.o site not post, up front right in the heading,
the full actual version number of the software being offered for
download? Without this number, it is pretty much impossible tell if one
already has the most current version or not. To find this number, one
pretty much has to download the current version and install it, or at
least unpack it.
For instance, six weeks ago I downloaded what was called only
OpenOffice.org 2.0 "Beta 2". What was actually installed on my machine
had the version number 1.9.125. Well actually, the heading above this
says quite clearly 'OpenOffice.org 2.0.' Nowhere in my actual installed
version is it actually called Beta 2.
Today, I noticed on the site that OO 2.0 "Release Candidate" is now
available for download. No actual version number. So I downloaded this,
thinking it was an updated version. Trying to install it, the install
program informed me that I already had a LATER version of the program
installed. Well that was a waste of a 75mb download. I still don't know
what the actual version number of OO 2.0 this "RC1" might be.
This is a bug in install program - remove previous install, please.
I would like to see exact version numbers in the names of downloadable
packages too.
