[libreoffice-users] Will Libreoffice have a LESS BUG version in the future?

2014-06-22 Thread minhsien0330
Hi all: Libreoffice 4.3 is coming soon, but I still fix my Libreoffice version on 4.0.6. Why? Because I found more and more bugs in later version. Some new bugs even bother my daily work. (Note: I reported some bugs, but some still there now.) Besides, I love Libreoffice myself, but it's really

Also, although I could be wrong here, and others should feel free to correct me, but if I understand the situation correctly, LibreOffice is focused on adding features to the product. This means that although there is of course also a focus on fixing as many bugs as possible, the drive for new

Hi :) It's that 3rd digit that indicates stability. It's like the Service Packs for MS programs. Many companies never consider installing any MS programs until at least Sp1 or Sp2. Similarly many of us keep production machines on earlier branches. I keep most of my colleagues on 3.5.7 -

Hi :) As i understand it Calc and Writer are meant to be used for the Forms and Reports. The in-built FormsReports are just to make Base more familiar for people moving away from MS Access. Similarly Base also allows data tables to be kept internally in the in-built back-end = just like MS

What I want to be able to do is (for now) have a pdf report that shows the statistics (records, averages, deviations) and charts that show up to four variables on the same axis. So the first question is can I do that with Base and Calc? This needs to be automated so that each day I run a report

I just went to the LO page and see they have a module called Charts. I have 4.1, but the Charts module is not included, so my guess is that it is part of the new release next month. Anyway, does anyone familiar with Charts think that this may be an answer? Dave, On Sun, Jun 22, 2014, at 03:23

Hi :) It's not us copying them. The Service Pack idea is just their name for something other people were already using. Actually the Sp idea is a bit different from what happens with LO. With LO it's easy to download the whole upgrade so that for new installs you only have to install just the 1
