Hi Anders,

I believe that 3.5.0 should be advertised as the default recommended
version. If it isn't ready for that, I would assume that the developers
had put out another release candidate!
I guess the developers think it's ready for the release.
Compared with the unhandy situation around the 3.4.0 and because of
changes in the process, more QA, and since the project/developed evolved
quite a bit, we may expect that.
Still, that's my impression and I'm not a really involved developer.
I think we can assume that the project will get quite some press
coverage for the 3.5 release (at least more than for the 3.5.1 release).
So it makes no sense to spoil that, by saying to people that it isn't
quite ready after all, when they come to download the software.
Agree.
That will just cause confusion and insecurity.
I would think that the newest major release is for end-users and the
previous major is for "enterprises" (and if they want the previous
release, they will know, know why and know to look for it). But I have
been confused by LibreOffice's messaging on this, even though I am a
developer (not a LO-dev, just a end-user).
As you may notice, we look for ways how to bring this message to our
download pages. Which already tend to be cluttered because of
unavoidable extra download links / choices.
Thanks for your input on this. And the technical stuff in the other mail
too! (which I hope others will pick up.)
In cane you have the 'one cures all' solution for our download page,
feel welcome to share :-)
Regards,
