That is a topic for the marketing folks, but I am comfortable saying no one on the ESC sees it that way. For project health we need more users on the Fresh, or even the master branch. BZ is clogged with newly spun issues against branches already EOL, majority of them already fixed and stock QA triage response is going to be test with a current build. Project development simply moves on. Rather we don't get to stable status for builds without testing--testing requires use of the latest branch with patches pushed back as uncovered and where feasible. For example OpenGL support, and HarfBuzz with DirectWrite based font rendering on Windows is really only just becoming stable at the 5.4.0 release--the 5.3 branch remains wonky depending on GPU/driver combinations. Issues would likely have been uncovered sooner if more folks had made the effort to test against master in addition to Fresh builds. Installation in parallel is trivial, so for folks invested in the project it is a low threshold to contribute. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Releases-tp4219060p4219185.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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
