Hi Caroline Historically, LibreOffice had 2 major releases per year and will continue as is. That puts a pressure on our documentation team to update the guides as quickly as possible about the new features and/or removal of features.
Ideally all 6 guides should be reviewd and updated each six month. However this udpate depends on 2 coincident events: Authors availability at the right time to write on the new features plus ability to assemble the book (not to be minimized). Individually each new release brings few changes to the books, but if we get late in the task (as is currently the situation on most guides unfortunately), the updates stack up and becomes hard to catch the timing. On the other hand, we are never short of interesting work to do.... regards Olivier Em 10/05/2019 10:35, Caroline Carlisle Tidwell escreveu: > Thanks all!
