Hi :) You might find the graphic near the top of this link interesting http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan
Basically LibreOffice tends to have 2 branches being developed alongside each other. The later releases of a branch become more stable and add fewer new features. Each branch seems to become stable by about .4, so 3.5.4 will hopefully be stable but by then there will probably be a new branch, the 3.6.x packed full of new features. So it's always a question of whether you want to have greater stability or more functionality, or have both installed alongside each other. I run a 32bit OS and programs even tho i have a 64bit processor. The first few times i tried 64bit OSes i found only small speed increases but loads of additional problems and instabilities. I'm really only a point&click user so i went back to 32bit to make things easier. That was a good few years ago so i guess i really should try a 64bit OS soon! I thought LibreOffice only released 32bit versions? (which should be fine on a 64bit OS) Regards from Tom :) --- On Mon, 30/4/12, Ant <[email protected]> wrote: From: Ant <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Unable to start my newly installed LibreOffice v3.5.2 programs. To: [email protected] Date: Monday, 30 April, 2012, 18:03 Interesting. I will try uninstalling and installing v3.4.6 later. Is there a newer stable version of v3.5.2 soon? I assume v3.5.2 has no problem in 64-bit W7 HPE that I plan to do the same (uninstall OO and then install LO).
