The Document Foundation has announced that LibreOffice 3.6.3 is now available for the Linux platform, bringing a lot of bugfixes and improvements.

Besides the usual changes and updates that accompany these types of releases, The Document Foundation had a few other announcements to make, especially in regard to the growing development team.

“Instrumental for the overall progress is the growing developer base, which has just reached the number of 550 since the launch of the project, making LibreOffice one of the fastest growing free software projects of the decade,” stated The Document Foundation.

Another point of interest is the increasing adoption rate of LibreOffice by municipalities all over the world.

“After the City of Munich and the French Government, which are migrating from OpenOffice.org to LibreOffice, it is now the turn of several provinces in Italy, including the largest one in term of inhabitants,” continued the press release.
