Hi :) I think it's an artistic type question rather than a scientific one. An update might only contain a few bug-fixes/patches and minor modifications perhaps a minor additional functionality / functionality. A new release / version contains major new features and a ton of updates.
As we saw at a higher level when Oracle tried to push out a 3.4.0 release rather than just making it a minor point release (such as 3.3.4) people can try to make it appear that they are going to deliver more than they are really giving. Quite where the dividing lines are can be unclear i think. Sometimes it is obvious but not always.

It's the same at home --- with the difference maybe that the person maintaining the system is likely the same person who has root access. What makes "a version" "a version"? That someone decides to take what's currently in the git repository and makes it available in another way, or is there something special involved? -- html messages are obsolete -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] In case of problems unsubscribing, write to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] In case of problems unsubscribing, write to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
