While we've been looking forward to the new features of LibreOffice 4.5 as the leading open-source office suite, version 4.5 is no more. The next version of LO is now going to be LibreOffice 5.0.

To some surprise, this morning in Git, the version was bumped to 5.0 (5.0.0.0.alpha0+). There was no branching of LibreOffice 4.5 as it seems LibreOffice 4.5 is itself being renamed to LibreOffice 5.0.

The LibreOffice 4.5 release plan has now also become the LibreOffice 5.0 plans. The schedule remains the same with the LibreOffice 5.0 Beta 1 coming in mid-May, LibreOffice 5.0 Beta 2 in early June, LibreOffice 5.0 RC1 in mid-June, and the official LibreOffice 5.0.0 release the last week of July or first week of August.
