            Bug ID: 79438
          Assignee: [email protected]
           Summary: Adding useful info to the about dialog
          Severity: enhancement
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: [email protected]
          Hardware: Other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: unspecified
         Component: Libreoffice
           Product: LibreOffice

1) I think it would be great to included the date of release on the about
dialog, somewhat similar to how the 4.3 beta shows it, as i think it would be
easy for a user to see how old there version is. Possible display:

Version: 4.2.4.2
Release Date: 2014-05-08
Build ID: 63150712c6d317d27ce2db16eb94c2f3d7b699f8

2) With the release date available, its possible to program into the dialog to
encourage the user to upgrade when it has been over 6 weeks since its release
date. The end of life dates could also be included in the programming so that
when it has been reached, a different worded message could display encouraging
the user to upgrade.

3) How about the latest stable and fresh version numbers and release dates
appearing in the dialog. Of course for this to happen, a user would have to be
online, so that it can be gotten from a dedicated url, and wouldnt have to be
refreshed unless its been 2 weeks since its last check.

4) How about a defined fixed size for the dialog box, as when i checked over
time, the box size fluctuates alot, as can be seen in attachment 99720.
