http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ This is the link to the archive showing all of the older versions. You can choose from that list. Personally, I use the 4.0.5 version of LibreOffice. It is the "most stable" of the versions, until all of the "bugs" are worked out with the new 4.1.x line. In the Release Plan page https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan This image shows that the 4.1.x line is still for "Early Adopters". https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:LibOReleaseLifecycle.png And the 4.0.5 version is "recommended" for users. Since you need to have a "stable" version for editing and maintaining a publication, I would stick to 4.0.5 and then 4.0.6 when it comes out. When 4.1.x goes to 4.0.4, then it should be ready for most users. I make a lot of documents, posters, cards, and other "stuff" for several organizations. I have over 600 fonts installed on my main "working" desktop. I run 4.0.5 on a Ubuntu/Linux system. I do use a Windows laptop to test out the newest versions of the 4.1.x line, but it is not completely ready for one of my needs. Hopefully the issue if fixed by 4.1.4. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] 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
