To add my 2-cents to this discussion, I align with Tom and the others
who wait for the x.x.4+ version. In my case, 3.6.7.2 does everything I
need it to do and does it without surprises. Therefore, I am not
pressured to upgrade to the 4.0 or 4.1 version. I, and others it would
seem, are content to wait for the most stable versions. I have that
luxury. On the other hand, others may need to upgrade to get new
features they need or think they need. That may be why some install the
latest and greatest not-quite-stable versions in hopes that the bugs in
them will not affect them. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Hi :)
It sounds like you are happier with much later releases in a branch.
It makes sense to wait for the x.x.5. For a lot of people the x.x.4
is the best balance between new features and stability. If you
normally use more than 1 machine then getting a x.x.0 on one and
keeping the other at the last stable one you were happy with makes a
lot of sense. It's good to test-drive early releases and post
bug-reports against them but to have the stable one for normal use.

Tom :)

Thanks for the hint with 4.0.6. This version is indeed very stable and it
has a least one feature which I missed in previous version. Thus I currently
very happy with 4.0.6.
I used 4.0.5 before, changed to 4.1.3.2 and then back to 4.0.6. Maybe Tom is
write and something happend during the download/installation of 4.1.3.2 and
thus this version showed a few bugs of which one I could not accept.
Currently I am thinking about installing 4.1.4 but maybe I don't have time
for installation and then 4.1.5 will be released.....

If you want to try 4.0.6 first, since you jumped from 3.6.x, it might be a
good idea. It is at the end on that line and I use it all of the time.
Sure, you can try 4.1.4 when it comes out, but 4.0.6 is very stable and
you can use it as a stepping stone to the 4.1.x line. The "messages" about
4.1.3 being too "buggy" for you [or others] suggests going to 4.0.6 and not
going back down to the 3.6.x line. Later, when all of the "possible
problems" with 4.1.4 comes in, you can decide if it is ready for you to use.
Still, personally, I would try 4.0.6, for now. Then look into 4.1.4 or
4.1.5 later.

Ahh, i think just go for a standard normal reinstall of 4.1.3. maybe
re-download the installer to make sure that isn't the problem

On 13 December 2013 02:42, [email protected]:The fact
that I had to downgrade from 4.2.3.2 to 4.0.6 due to bugs and
Nino's proposal to install 2 versions parallel made my thinking that it
would be very efficient to have the install wiazerd modify to use it to
replace a version or install it parallel to an existing one.
I am just hesitant to go trough the work of installing LibO through the
command line.
In my case I would install 4.0.6 (stable) and 4.1.3.2 (with some nasty
bugs
for me but some interesting features as well). With 2 versions I also
could
do easy testing for bug reports.
Is there interest/support for having the installed wizard modified to
enable
parallel installations?
