Right now, here's what you'll find on pt-br.libreoffice.org (where I downloaded
5.2.1.2, translation mine):

So, three production versions. Whatever of those three I choose are called
"Estável" (Stable). I downloaded it by early october, so, after 2016-09-26 it
was somehow available on the official site as one of the stable releases, at
least on the pt-br site. Perhaps this is a mistake on the pt-br devs (not being
aware of a seriously buggy version), perhaps you do make a point of releasing
any version according to schedule no matter how buggy, since all versions are
known to have bugs to an extent.
What I'm saying is, either of those scenarios should be avoided, in my humble
opinion. That particular version was very dangerous for production use.
