LibreOffice 3.5.0 Final
LibreOffice (a free and open source office suite developed by The Document Foundation as a fork of OpenOffice.org), released a new version on February 14th. Even though it is a minor release, it contains many changes and enhancements (unlike some applications - we are looking at you Firefox, with your versions race!).
Aside from bug corrections, the new features that we really liked (PostgreSQL native integration is a great addition, allowing users to create nice database forms in minutes):
And many others:
-
New faster built-in grammar checker for English and several other languages. (László Németh)
-
Import filter for Microsoft Visio documents. (Fridrich Štrba, Eilidh McAdam, Valek Filippov)
-
Custom Shapes import was greatly enhanced, many bugs were fixed and new presets implementation added. (Radek Doulik)
-
LibreOffice checks for updates automatically at user defined intervals, and allows manual download of the newest version. (Jan Holešovsky)
-
The word count dialog is modeless and updates as you type. (Matt Pratt)
-
Improved font hinting for high quality docs. (László Németh)
