Will 12.04 get LibreOffice 3.6 and later?

Question

I see references to PPA's, etc. for latest LibreOffice. My question is more whether Ubuntu 12.04 LTS will get the latest stable releases of LibreOffice going forward?

Answer 1

There will be minor and stable updates from the same series, that is 3.5.X for precise, but no update on the next major as it introduces a lot of new features. One man's feature are another man's regression (simply because behaviour changed).

So if you want a new major you need to try the PPA:

• Is there a PPA with the latest version of LibreOffice?

Answer 2

Only security patches are released, for version updates only way is via libreoffice ppa.
