Please let's not have discussions about MS having ended support for XP. There are still an enormous number of machines out there running XP SP3 POS Ready 2009, which MS are still actively supporting. MS most recent XP update (October 2017) added support for TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 to XP POS Ready 2009, See Microsoft Secure Blog: http://bit.ly/2ylRGDo
I have successfully screwed up LO on a client's XP POS Ready machine (my fault for not testing on a VM first), by installing LO 5.4.2 over the previous 4.4.7.2 install. The 5.4 installer completes without any complaint, gleefully removing the old version, but on start up the splash screen flashes and soffice dies without a murmur. Would have been nice if the devs had added the very simple system check call to installer and blocked the install. Yes, the information is there for anyone who wants to dig down into the release notes: http://bit.ly/2yjj2Ir But how many users read software release notes or EULAs? It's also about time we updated the misleading "/System Requirements/" page http://bit.ly/2yh0SHo which still reads "/LibreOffice on a Windows system are as follows: Microsoft _*Windows XP*__*SP3*_, Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, or Windows 10/". Two questions: 1. Which was the last version able to run on Win XP? 2. Are there any known security issues with that version? Thanks Dave -- Please address any reply to the mailing list only.
