 Good catch, as we call that. Thanks.
 I've added a link to the release notes page, linking to download-more
page, offering 3.6.0 and 3.5.5.

 Something we have to keep in mind too for the 3.5.6 version, in RC2 at
the moment...


Actually, I'd really like it if we made the older versions (older than
3.5) available. Currently, you can't download anything older than v 3.5.5.

We still run LibO 3.4 at my office because of a serious bug in the way
Calc handles data filtering (see Bug 46480). Both LibO 3.5 and LibO 3.6
are useless if you are trying to filter data from a database into a
spreadsheet. I can only install LibO 3.4 on new machines because I was
smart enough to save my downloads when LibO 3.4 was the new version.

Disabled the Recommended string yesterday. Did not add it for the
3.5.x version, since it would be strange to advertize 3.6.0 by
default, but then have a different version as recommended on the
version-selection page.

 Actually, I'd really like it if we made the older versions (older than
 3.5) available. Currently, you can't download anything older than v 3.5.5.

All previous releases of LibreOffice are available.

AND version still 3.6.0 is Recommended!!!)


Hmm, is that some default setting/text? I'll ask this at the website list.

Cheers,

[tdf-discuss] Version 3.6.0 is Recommended???

2012-08-10 Thread Pedro
Hi all

I believe all developers agree that a .0 release is usually not a good
version to adopt (many IT people don't even consider it)

In particular version 3.6.0 is known to have serious flaws (see end of page
under Most Annoying Bugs
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/3-6-new-features-and-fixes/)

However the ONLY download visible in the Download page is 3.6.0 (it takes 4
or 5 pages in not so obvious links to get to version 3.5.5 AND version still
3.6.0 is Recommended!!!)

http://www.libreoffice.org/download/?type=win-x86lang=en-US

Opinions?
