It's a portable-only update. It's 3.4.4 just compressed a bit differently to fix a bug in some PCs blocking the python plugin.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

If the software itself doesn't change, but only the compression method, it would be better and less confusing, if you kept the original version numbers and just added "r2" or something like that, just as you've done in the past, too.

This is an official release hosted by LibreOffice itself. They prefer this method as it works better with their download network than rev 2. Many projects add a .1 to a version number when there is a minor change that doesn't require any code changes or recompilation.

Thank You John;

Not a bug report but a praise report, it works for me.

This release is the first of the "3.4" series that works for me on my PC. It does not hang up any more on enabling the python script. I am not a speed freak I realize that somethings may load slowly. But this release seems faster as well after the first or initial loading.

I use LO Writer to write my books and was able to open up my current book with the latest "LO" from my portableapps USB and then modify it. I have been using the older legacy version prior to this one.

Thanks go to anyone who had anything to do with this. It speaks volumes to me that you all worked on this until a solution was found. You did not just say well it works for most people and leave it alone.

Not to mention that John answered questions during Xmas holidays.
(Which would not be necessary if it had been stated that the minor version change had been mainly for housekeeping...)

I'll look there in future (if I remember).

Also, I've had this email address for 14 years or so. So, I'm already on all the spammers lists anyways.
