Oh, that makes sense, thanks!

I guess I need to get used to point releases meaning the month number and the fact that even before the stable is released it will have that number.

Choose Colibre icon theme. The standard theme is kinda ugly anyway.

I think it's also worth mentioning the work of Stephan Bergmann - from Allotropia - that made available for Windows - FINALLY - an Auto-Update option based on Mozilla's MAR system, currently hidden in Experimental.

With this enabled, LibreOffice will keep itself updated automatically every time a new version is out.

Wait, what?
Why did they change it, are they crazy?
Pretty much all software that I know uses the flopy disk icon for the save button!
