Indeed if you speak of older versions (as in versions currently not availabe as one of our two branches) , the LibreOffice project itself has no support for this. Companies such as CIB or Collabora usually do on all platforms. Now I realize there may be frustrations involved by handling upgrades but you would still deploy upgrades anyway regardless of the software. Would automatic incremental updates do the trick for you? > >If I look here : > >https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/system-requirements/#Apple > >Either I can't read properly or else the information at that place is >incorrect.

Your facts are wrong as you expect from LibreOffice what you don't expect from any other software, which is ad vitam support for free by the community. In short you expect "the butter, the money for the butter, the smile and thanks from the dairy merchant" all at the same time. So yes indeed, LibreOffice does not support all its versions... but then who does ? Microsoft ? Mozilla? Does AOO support the 3.3? Does it patch the 3.2.1? No? How outrageous. :-) Best, Charles. > > > >Alex > > > > > > > > > > > >-- >To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org >Problems? >http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ >Posting guidelines + more: >http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette >List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ >All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be >deleted Hello Alex, -- Envoyé de mon appareil Android avec K-9 Mail.
