Description V Stuart Foote 2014-03-11 00:37:07 UTC

The **NEW** LibreOffice downloads page looks great!

However, a couple of glaring errors--or just plain confusing ;-)

The LibreOffice Stable landing page incorrectly refers to release 4.1.4. And this paragraph seems mispositioned on the page.

Text on the Stable page also points to "nightly builds" as "more bleeding-edge binaries" believe that reference logically belongs on the LibreOffice Fresh page.

Stable should point to Fresh--and from Fresh refer folks to the nightly development builds.

And a further note... the text/links for the Development versions ( http://www.libreoffice.org/download/development-versions/ ) has gone a bit stale. 

Is currently referring to 4.2.0 RC1 and 4.1.4 RC2--just a bit dated.

I see 4.1.5 here http://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-stable/

I agree.

I confirm this.

Ok you are right.
the download button correctly refers to 4.1.5 but the text is still about 4.1.4

Comment 5 V Stuart Foote 2014-03-11 06:47:23 UTC

Just looked around a bit more, and was a bit surprised to see the 'Release Notes' ( http://www.libreoffice.org/download/release-notes/ ) are very out of date--showing details that were current for the 4.2.0 (Jan 27, 2014) and 4.1.4 (Dec 16, 2013) releases.

Design of the page looks great, but the content NEEDS to be brought (and kept) current to match the releases being delivered, i.e. currently 4.1.5 (Feb 10, 2014), 4.2.1 (Feb 17, 2014) and the pending release of 4.2.2 (build complete as of Feb 27, 2014).

Not a Wiki so I can't post the changes myself, but happy to help with the editing if someone sends along the publishing procedure and contact(s).
