Version 7.0.3 announced, while version 7.0.4 available
Why, my LibreOffice installation notifies me about latest available version being 7.0.3, but the actual website states it has 7.0.4 as the latest version?
I'm wondering why this inconsistence takes place? or am I getting something wrong?
Why my LibreOffice installation (namely, when I work in Writer) notifies me about 7.0.3 being latest release:
however, when I manually go onto the LO download site, I see 7.0.4 as a less-tested, and 6.4.7 as a longer-tested versions?
Why there is such an inconsistency?
N. B.: it would have been great if you'd name LTS versions with "LTS" appendix, not to make users read metainformation about each download, and guess, whether it's a LTS or not.
[Edit - Opaque] - Shortened title and added old title to details.
We are users of LibreOffice just like you. So if we could, you could as well. In other words: This is the wrong place to address such issue.
If LTS translates to Long Term Support, then such naming would be incorrect. There is no such thing (see Introduction to Release Plan). "Tested longer* is just due to the fact that it has been released earlier and that it has some more bug fix releases.
I'm not sure I understand the first part of your comment. What does your bold pronouns stand for? what is if we could, you could as well? could - what? if you can help - just help; otherwise, irrelevant aggression should not take place here. Question is quite clear and answer could have also been clear.
It is no aggression at all but trying to clarify, that you don't talk to developers or any LibreOffice/TDF officials but to users of LibreOffice. Now you state "it would have been great if you'd name LTS versions with "LTS" appendix". So I take that you and tell shortly "If we, the readers of your post, could fulfill that request (i.e. adding "LTS" to the name of the software), then you (@Giorgi ) could fulfill this request as well, since we all together (we + you) do not differentiate in power to achieve that goal. In other words: We can't do that the same way you can't do that.
Your question is clear and my comment didn't contradict, but your request (under N.B.:) is incorrectly addressed. If you want that to happen, you ...(more)
So, this Q/A forum is not reviewed by developers of LO? well.. I thought it was, to be honest.
@cloph might have an idea, since it's a month since 7.0.4 was released, and the normal delay looks overdue.
That there is a notification is what really matters, the version string is informational, see more verbose answer as a answer...
