## RELEASES
## RELEASES


The current release is Apache OpenOffice 4.1.5. It is necessary due to
regression issues that were reported recently and need to be fixed since
occurring in 4.1.4. Release Management prefered an own release for 2 reasons:

1) The new release team has build some routine with bugfix releases, which can
be seen in the shorter release cycles in the last releases. 2) The next Major
release is our next big thing. A lot of efforts has to be invested in this
release before a final release is ready. The wait time for users has been
considered as to long to wait.

The desicion to go for another bugfix release was a good one in retrospect.
The team has managed to release the regression fixes within the same quarter.
This is the first time OpenOffice has released 2 updates close together.

The next major release will be 4.2.0 with a target to publish in 2018. In
