[Libreoffice-bugs] [Bug 153153] Incentivize users to use the latest version via the UI
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153153 --- Comment #12 from Maverick --- > The text could be "This version is no longer > supported" along with buttons "Update", "Show again", Don't bother again". And what will happen when a user presses "Update" button on windows? - Will it get you to the download page? - Or will it start an update process (download+install)? Users would surely expect the last! But there is no foundation for that to happen (and apparently no will either) - see bug 54242 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

We do show the info in the (auto-)updater on Windows, and Linux repositories prefer their own schedule. Plus, the About dialog is not an incentive per se and probably not what users expect. However, it might be good to inform users beyond this and show an infobar when a new major is available. The text could be "This version is no longer supported" along with buttons "Update", "Show again", Don't bother again".

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153153 --- Comment #10 from Mike Kaganski --- (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #9) The upgrade prompt already is conditional, and it is disabled in distro repos. If not combined into the prompt, we could still reuse the same branding info. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153153 --- Comment #9 from Heiko Tietze --- Showing an information like Version 7.5.4.2... You are on the latest version, find nightly builds here (maybe pointing to developer versions is too much) and Version 7.4.3... The latest public version is 7.5.4.2 sounds reasonable. But I wonder if we should add the link to TDF since the application might be installed via app store, package manager keeping it intentionally "stable", or provided from a third party. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153153 --- Comment #8 from Mike Kaganski --- Well, possibly this could be combined with the existing upgrade prompt then? Before EOL, it could simply offer an update; after EOL, the balloon tip could include the EOL notification. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153153 --- Comment #5 from Loren Amelang --- I'm not seeing anything in Bugzilla about this: I had LibreOffice_7.3.2_Win_x64.msi installed, with a nasty problem of the text import preview being invisible in dark modes. For months I checked Help -> Check for Updates, and it always told me none were available. I happened to see a note in the Fediverse, went to your website, and found LibreOffice_7.5.0_Win_x86-64.msi - with my problem beautifully fixed! And a _way_ better dark mode! Was there some glitch in the update check? Is it fixed now? Obviously I won't trust it for awhile... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153153 --- Comment #4 from Maverick --- Wouldn't it be even great if users would be automatically updated/upgraded? I mean, we already have a dialog for auto-updating (that does not work in anyway and is, IMO, giving a very negative image about the product - it's 2023!) So why not put some effort in that and get this work finished? I believe it's a lot of work, but from it we could: - Get most users on the latest version (that would eliminate old bugs being reported) - It would help getting the "business" version even more tested and stable - It would provide all that a regular user is already expecting from a 2023 product (every piece of software i use auto-updates itself except for LO) - (Other advantages...) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
