WE NEED THIS STRESSED on the web site.

The 3.5.x line is still the "cutting edge" version and is not ready for
the needs of business user, and the personal user that must have as few
issues as possible.
Ummm... right.

3.5.2 is the default when you click the 'Download' button:

So now lets check the release notes:

LibreOffice 3.5.2 Final (2012-04-05)

This is the third release from the 3.5 branch of LibreOffice.
It contains many exciting new features, and is the recommended version
for private users and small enterprises.

But wait... there's more:

LibreOffice 3.4.6 Final (2012-03-22)

This is the seventh release of the LibreOffice 3.4 code line.
LibreOffice 3.4.6 fixes the most-important bugs identified by users in
the previous version, as well as a potential security issue. It is of
course safe to be deployed for production needs.
LibreOffice 3.4 contains lots of new features compared to 3.3.

As a "user", particularly a new "user", which version would you choose?
I suggest you take this up on the discuss list.


I upgraded to 3.5 because of the default download status but it looks like I should go back to version 3.4.

The wording should be sorted out because any new user who does not follow this forum would download 3.5 as a matter of course and could lead to disappointment and more income for Micro$oft. Any number of download sites for other software have 'stable' and recommended downloads and 'unstable' beta editions for those who like to live dangerously. Perhaps the LibreOffice download page should go down this track.

BTW the GB help file didn't work in 3.4 either.
