Plenty of time to have been verified and then back-ported to 4.3 or even the final 4.2 build. But neither has been done, which is a responsibility for affected users to advocate for. Especially corporate and business users that want the goodies, but then choose not to participate in the QA process. And those users are somehow surprised when features don't work as expected, or regressions are introduced. The user community has responsibility in moving an open source project like LibreOffice forward by being engaged during all development cycles. Test and test often, and provide feedback in the correct channel--the project Bugzilla and secondly these mail-list forums. Regards the Still, and Fresh, and Pre-release, and master development builds--not that complicated and necessary in a timed release development project that LibreOffice adopted when formed. You'll note that the project moves otherwise functional builds to legacy--End of Life--status shortly after final project build. The current Still branch 4.2 will move to that category next month! The nuance folks miss is that development effort and willingness/capability to correct issues is primarily out on the master branch. Regressions ARE very important, but are best corrected where/when they are being introduced--to do that requires engagement.
