--- Comment #2 from Harald Koester <[email protected]> ---
Some thoughts about automatic update suggestions:
As said before, particularly the procedure is not clear, if a new feature
release (fresh version) has been published and if the still version is still
current. To my opinion in this case it's not possible to suggest for each user
the suitable version. Some like to update to the more sophisticated version
(still) and others like to update to a version with new features (fresh). See
also bug 84122 and bug 93282.
I think the only way to get rid of this problem is to offer both updates so
that a user can decide. In order to help users in their decision target groups
for the different versions can be displayed. E.g.:
Versions x.y.0 - x.y.2: "Experienced LibreOffice users, which like to use new
features. Innovative user who are willing to report bugs to the Document
Foundation."
Versions x.y.3 - x.y.5: "Basically suitable for all users. Users which set a
great value upon stability should use versions x.y.6 or x.y.7."
Versions x.y.6 - x.y.7: "For all users suitable. Particulary for users which
set a great value upon stability and do not need the most recent features."
Another problem may be the period of the update check. By default the period is
set to 'Every week'. This can be changed to daily or monthly in the options. I
think a lot of users could be annoyed if they get every week a message that
there is a new version available. And I don't believe that all users know the
possibility to switch off the messages in the options. Perhaps these users are
absolutely satisfied if they get a new version every year and in the meantime
LibreOffice is running hopefully without any problems and without any update
messages.
Hence also longer periods for the update check should be available, e.g. every
half year and every year. Furthermore the user should determine the period of
the update check without looking into the options dialogue. This can be done
e.g. with a welcome message, when a user starts LibreOffice the first time
after the initial and each update installation. E.g.:
"Thank you for installing LibreOffice version X.Y.Y. ...
...
LibreOffice will be continuously enhanced. Shall LibreOffice check and inform
you, if there are updates available? [Yes|No].
Every Day [], Every week [], ..., Every year []"
