User community reporting this text: "This is LibreOffice 3.6.0, prepared with care and presented with pride by the LibreOffice community. But since this is the very first version in the 3.6 series, please make sure you read the release notes (see right)." presented via one of the download links.

Confirmed.

Before changing this to 4.0 series, I wonder if we could agree to make these statements more generic. The reason is that we are constantly being caught being late at revising these pages and there is really no reason for this. The text could be re-written like this:

"This version of LibreOffice is prepared with care and presented with pride by the LibreOffice community. PLEASE NOTE that, since this is the very first version in the series, make sure to read the release notes (see right)."

I would also prefer to see "Please note that" rather than "But". It is a little more elegant and professional. If we still insist on using "But", then, I would suggest the use of the word "However". If we want to emphasise strongly that users should read the notes, then, I would suggest to capitalize "PLEASE NOTE that ..."

Myself, I would prefer the capitalized version to warn our users.

Cheers,

Marc

I've modified the text as suggested and tweaked it a little more:

"This version of LibreOffice is prepared with care and presented with pride by the LibreOffice community. PLEASE NOTE that, since this is the very first version in the series, make sure to read the release notes (under "Handy resources")."

I am now closing the bug.
