14 DAY TRIAL // The Document Foundation has announced that the final version for LibreOffice, 4.0.1, is now available for the Linux platform, bringing a lot of bugfixes and improvements.
According to The Document Foundation, LibreOffice has grown intro the largest independent free software project focused on end user desktop productivity.
This is a release aimed more at the general users and not towards the enterprise consumers, even if it's a stable version.
“The new release is a step forward in the process of improving the overall quality and stability of LibreOffice 4.0. For enterprise adoptions, though, The Document Foundation suggests the more solid and stable LibreOffice 3.6.5, backed by certified level 3 support engineers,” states the official announcement. Highlights of LibreOffice 4.0.1:
• Autofilter is no longer sorting values with international letters first and then ABC; • The default paths for exporting documents and PDFs has been corrected; • Win2K has been removed from list of system-requirements; • A crash which occurred when the user pasted in outline view after a slideshow, has been corrected; • The Document Statistics shell extension has been translated; • The printer list is no longer missing its border in Print dialog; • The Writer no longer crashes when trying to delete cell from a table; • Text width scaling is no longer broken in Impress and Draw; • Libreoffice 4.0 no longer crashes in the LanguageTag constructor, when starting on Ubuntu 12.10 64bit; • “Paste special” and “insert of Visio object: image” options are no longer invisible; • It’s no longer impossible to fill text into Fields – Functions – Placeholder – text; • The Spreadsheet now shows error bars; • Charts are now plotted automatically.
