[This is an automated message.] This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases. Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1 more detail on this bulk operation: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/RFC-Operation-Spamzilla-tp3607474p3607474.html *** Bug 45609 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** As much as I don't like Windows OS, this would get the latest version on those machines. *** Bug 78695 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I support this! This would ensure that everyone has the latest version running, even non-tech savvy users that don't realize to update nor it's benefits. Some schools have LibreOffice also and usually it's not possible to download and install it's latest version without admin rights. Built-in updating system should work even without admin rights. For example, Mozilla Firefox checks periodically updates for the latest version and updates itself automatically. Even user without admin rights can check and update Firefox to it's latest version. Please, could LibreOffice has the same? I also think it would be more meaningful to LibreOffice devs to continue working with Libre if they know that ALL LibreOffice users would benefit for their latest contributions, not just them who realize to update (or are able to do it by having admin rights). |
