What is the reasoning behind releasing LibreOffice 5.2 (beta2) 1.5 months before the stable release?
From the Tumbleweed wiki entry (https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Tumbleweed):
"The Tumbleweed distribution is a pure rolling release version of openSUSE containing the latest stable versions of all software instead of relying on rigid periodic release cycles. The project does this for users that want the newest stable software."
Thanks.
In the end this is up to the discretion of the maintainer, and in this case I guess they feel the beta is stable for general use. Beta means different things to different projects so the maintainer can decide. It could also be that they also want to push this version into the next Leap beta which would require it going through tumbleweed first.
