Well, it installs, but when I try to start it it comes back with: You can't use this version ofthe application LibreOffice.aoo with this version of Mac OS X. You have Mac OS X 10.7.5. The application requires Mac OS X 10.8 or later. Although it is a nice message, I woyld prefer to get it BEFORE installation, not after! Rob.

Regarding vulnerabilities, they exist and get fixed, but these fixes are just part of the regular development of the project. No need to highlight them, except for some rare cases (I might be wrong, but some times ago such issue was raised and discussed, I believe). > all versions are the same in security and its no different which > version i desire to use. is it true? > Absolutely not. In fact, It is false for a lot of project. Security fixes are part of a project, and are integrated in each new versions. Except for projects that maintain a LTS version (or similar), backporting security fixes to older releases is resource intensive. Some linux distributions that maintain LTS versions of their releases might work on backporting security fixes to older LibreOffice version, but it is dependent on them. > i use and wish to use 4.4.6, is it completely secure like the oldest > and newer versions? > Nope. Since older versions are not maintained, if a vulnerability is found in a newer version it might affect older versions. It is recommended to use either the latest version, or a long-term support one, as they are the only one that are sure to get all security updates. In general, there is little to no incentive to use older versions: newer versions should not go back in term of functionalities, and get a lot of bug fixed (not only security ones). If you have a specific issue with newer version, it might be interesting to get it fixed instead of using an old, insecure version. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
Re: [libreoffice-users] libreoffice developers please answer my question about security!
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi Nasrin, we had the same discussion on German mailinglist. The special fix, which has been published for AOO now, has been included in version LO 4.2. It's a little bit ago - about 2 years and 10 months. So no problems to take the last LO 4.4-version. But better would be, to take a version, where new fixes will be made. If you wan't to have a secure version of LO you better take LO 5.1 or LO 5.2 instead.
