Berlin, March 12, 2021 – LibreOffice 7.0.5, the fifth minor release of the LibreOffice 7.0 family, is available from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/. All users are invited to update to this version, as this is now the suggested version for all users.

    Hello
    I Am Running LibreOffice 7.1.1.2
    And You Come Out With LibreOffice 7.0.5
    And Say That it IS The Suggested Version For All To Use ?
    Why Are You Going Backwards With The Version Numbers ?
    Did The Actual Version Regress As Well ?
    If Different People Are Building Different Office Suites Under The Same Name You Should Make That Very Plain.
    Hmm, I May Take Another Look At Open Office. I Always Loved It Anyway

      Hi Ralph, we maintain two branches of LibreOffice, as we’ve done for many years. Currently these are LibreOffice 7.0 and 7.1. We maintain two, so that more “conservative” users can stay with an older version, while they wait for the newer branch to mature. Many users find this very useful. By “all users” we mean that anyone running much older, non-maintained branches (eg LibreOffice 6.4) should update. I hope that helps!

        I guess the wording could be improved: “We recommend all users of earlier versions (e.g. version 6.4) update to this version for optimal stability and security. However, if you feel more adventurous, you can test the new features in the bleeding edge version 7.1.”

        Would that help everyone understand the logic better?

    Hallo, ik weet niet of ik hier goed ben, maar gebruik nu versie 7.1.1.2 en heb de volgende bug.
    Als ik een Writer document opslaat, en hem de volgende dag weer open, dan begint hij altijd weer bij de eerste woorden, en niet waar ik gebleven was.
    Bij Exel bijvoorbeeld gaat het opslaan wel goed.
    Wat is hier aan te oen?

    7.1.1.2 makes it impossible to save documents without creating duplicates and I am experiencing losing data on a daily basis.

    7.1.1.2 Trying to send 7.1.1.2 to trash and it fails as computer says the program is open when it isn’t. 7.1.1.2 is a complete nightmare. When downloading 7.0.5 the “new” version “info” still comes up 7.1.1.2. Think I shall have to abandon Libre – a shame after so many years.
