The real issue is not whether a specific release is "business ready" but rather does the specific release meet your needs or does it have improvements, bug fixes, etc that make it better for you. I use 3.5.4.2 from the repository for both business and personal use and do not have any issues for what I need and do with it. But I have limited business needs with the most important issue being the ability to open and to create docx and xlsx files from and for others. > > > --- On Sat, 2/6/12, Andreas Säger <[email protected]> wrote: > > From: Andreas Säger <[email protected]> > Subject: [libreoffice-users] Re: Is 3.5.4 ready for business users? > To: [email protected] > Date: Saturday, 2 June, 2012, 16:37 > > Am 02.06.2012 16:46, webmaster-Kracked_P_P wrote: >> There seems to be differenting opinions on how business ready 3.5.3 was >> >> So now that LO 3.5.4 is out, >> >> I ask the users, is it ready to be deployed to my/our business users? >> >> We really need to know. >> >> The last "official" word on the 3.5.x line was that business users would >> research the package before downloading and installing it. >> >> Well, I do not know how they will to all that research, or where they >> will get the documentation for it, before downloading it. >> >> So I am asking LO users the question. >> Is 3.5.4 ready for our business and/or enterprise users? >> >> The doc people are work hard to get more 3.5.x line documentation out, >> but to be honest about it people can still use 3.3.x and 3.4.x docs till >> 3.5.x comes out. >> > What is the problem with 3.5?
