Bug ID: 97302
Summary: check for updates should also list "fresh" version in
case for "still"
Product: LibreOffice
Version: Inherited From OOo
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
The update check in LibreOffice only offers updates within the same codeline,
4.x users will be offered only 4.x updates, 5.x users only 5.x updates.
Only if the micro version (the third digit of an available fresh version) is
larger or equal the micro version of the installed still version will the user
be offered the fresh version:
installed still | available fresh | available still
x.y.z | x'.y'.f | x.y'.s
f >= z → fresh update will be offered
f < z and x.y'.s newer than x.y.z → still update will be offered
otherwise the response will be "up to date/no update available"
however it is unlikely to ever reach the f >= z condition with the release
schedule when a user regularly updates.
Only when a new major version will be new fresh/the still version is replaced
by another codeline will the user see the update.
HOWEVER:
of course the user should not be bothered with a "update is available"
notification in the toolbar when it is a cross-version update (as likely the
user has a reason to use the old version and probably doesn't want to update) -
but for a manually triggered update, the response should indicate the
availability of a newer fresh version.
→ thus the result should still be "no update available", but the result string
should point to new version.
If done this way, also no changes to LO itself are necessary.
