Public bug reported: LibreOffice on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise) is very buggy comparing to current (4.1.3) release from Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy). LibreOffice packages on Ubuntu 12.04 urgently needs an update to latest supported release 4.1.3 (or newer) for quite a set of critical fixes.
[IMPACT] 3.5.7 is End of Life since November, 2012! Look at https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan#End_of_Life_Releases * https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/3.6 * https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/4.0 * https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/4.1 A very large number of bugs have been fixed since 3.5.7, far too many to attempt an accurate listing; even counting them accurately is difficult. However a reasonable estimate is around three thousand bugs just in 4.1 release! Lots of people still uses Ubuntu LTS release and since end of 2012 they are forced to search correctly working LibreOffice packages. Some of them installs LibreOffice from upstream deb files - this way is very hard for majority users :( Other users finds https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/libreoffice-4-1 and updates LibreOffice from ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-4-1 repo, but this is also not easy way - why LTS users can install supported and up to date Firefox and Chromium like usual updates, but can't install supported and up to date LibreOffice software? ** Affects: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: libreoffice (Baltix) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: libreoffice (Baltix) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1261168 Title: [SRU] LibreOffice 4.1.3 for Ubuntu 12.04 (precise) Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “libreoffice” package in Baltix: New Bug description: LibreOffice on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise) is very buggy comparing to current (4.1.3) release from Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy).
