Something wrong in release build (4.2.6.3?)

Hi Everyone,

in the usual build directories since august the 22nd there is a 4.2.6.3 build...
http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/src/

Is this ok? Is the 4.2.6 version already been released?
http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/4.2.6/
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan/4.2#4.2.6_release

Is this a 4.2.7.1 instead?
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan/4.2#4.2.7_release

What's wrong in my head? :wink:

Have a sunny day,

Carlo

Hi :slight_smile:
I think 4.2.6 has been released already. There might be some development
still going on, maybe towards a 4.2.7. However i've got a feeling there
wont be a 4.2.7 as the .7s often get skipped. Usually the newer branch has
become stable by then so it's easier to move up a branch. I'm wondering if
extra development on the 4.2.6 is to test-drive things or tidy-up before
pulling things into the main 4.3.x

Hi Tom,

friendly, rapid and qualified as usual! :slight_smile:

I am using 4.3.1.1 already and I have noted, e.g., the *big step forward* in importing PDFs (only some few little glitches/spikes importing CAD exported PDFs that I will filesoonin PDF importing issue(s))...

I'd like to help fixing also the " [Task] Gradient and Transparency issues", collection meta bug here:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36766
many of which are "inherited from *OO*"

Regards from Carlo too

There WILL be a 4.2.7 version. It is scheduled for late October

People have to hang on to the 4.2 branch until 4.3 reaches stability from
regressions/bugs added (by 4.3.4?)

Cheers,

Or some people have to hang on to the oldest 4/1 branch because the entire 4.2 branch (as well as the current 4.3 release - although the bug has apparently been fixed so the fix *might* (hopefully!) appear in the next 4.3 release) still suffers from a deal breaker bug (inability to paste into Input fields)...

Hi :slight_smile:
Yeh, there are things that would be good to get fixed.

I'm one of the lucky people who have never found any deal-breakers but that
might partly be because most of my machines dual-boot and have both MSO and
LO on the Windows side. I'm hoping that we never need to buy any new
versions of MSO but the idea of migrating away from vendor-lockins still
hasn't quite reached certain critical people in my company.

Anyone here is probably more than capable of joining the QA Team to help
triage fresh bug-reports and help them with administration/office-work.

Some people here are probably capable of joining the devs to learn how to
code through doing some of the "Easy Hacks" and maybe learn some
programming theory online or at a local college while doing real-world
practical cases (the "Easy Hacks") at the same time. Others maybe already
know some coding theory and just a few "Easy Hacks" and mentoring from
existing devs might be enough to regain lost skills or bolster existing
ones or help move into a new coding language.

The explanation is here:
http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/LibreOffice-4-3-1-Fresh-announced-tp4120546.html

-> security bugfix. Please update your LibreOffice installation.

Best regards.

Merçi bien Jean Baptiste! Et bonjour a tout le Monde! :wink:

I have seen yesterday that there are two new version one of which unexpected:
- LibreOffice 4.2.6-security fix (the one we saw, e.g. 4.6.2.3);
- LibreOffice 4.3.1.2, the one I use! :wink:

Thank you very much and have a nice day,

Carlo
