Hmm..., not sure I'd agree with that at all. The Apache OpenOffice project is pushing out revisions as quickly as they are able. And, being active in both projects I can say that it is simply not true that Apache OpenOffice is any more stable than LibreOffice. The Apache OpenOffice project has its own share of code quality and functional issues in existing code and in new features that project devs wrangle with daily. The development model differs considerably, but both projects have moved forward substantial enhancements, many from Apache OpenOffice get routinely incorporated into LibreOffice. But less so going the other direction due to Apache licensing restrictions. Older releases of LibreOffice remain publicly available in the projects archive server: http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ so folks are welcome to stay at a particular release level if they have specific issues. Developer support of these older releases has ceased, but it is not inappropriate to raise enhancement or bug reports against old versions as compared to builds in the current development cycle. Regards OPs request for "Less Bug"--i.e. "less buggy" releases, the only way that happens is if we users participate during active development periods--testing across the office suite, and raising valid issues as bugs, and requesting valid enhancements for features not yet implemented or for features that may have been removed or altered so as to be unusable. We users should participate on either project, or both as our time and interests permit. But at the least we must provide concise, actionable feedback to other project participants. So, please use an older release of either project if it meets your needs--but please also make the effort to evaluate what continuing development has delivered, both in function and in quality of the suites. And then go ahead and participate. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Will-Libreoffice-have-a-LESS-BUG-version-in-the-future-tp4113254p4113276.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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
