14 DAY TRIAL // The Document Foundation announced today the release and immediate availability for download of the fourth maintenance update to the latest stable LibreOffice 6.0 open-source office suite.
LibreOffice 6.0.4 comes five weeks after version 6.0.3 to address a total of 88 bugs that affected various of the office suite's components, including Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math, and others. Details about the changes implemented in this new release can be found here and here.
However, the Document Foundation still recommends LibreOffice 6.0 only to early adopters, as well as power, tech-savvy users as it contains bleeding edge features that need more thorough testing before it can be validated for deployments in production environments, so version 6.0.4 is here to make the office suite more stable and reliable.
"TDF suggests to deploy LibreOffice in production environments with the backing of certified professionals (an updated list is available at https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/professional-support/). This is extremely important for the growth of the LibreOffice ecosystem," said Italo Vignoli in today's announcement.
LibreOffice 6.0.4 now available to download
If you're using the LibreOffice 6.0 series, you should download the LibreOffice 6.0.4 maintenance update for GNU/Linux, macOS or Microsoft Windows operating systems right now through our web portal or directly from the official website of the project. Binaries are available for both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms, along with the source archive for those who want to compile the office suite.
If you want to use a more stable release of LibreOffice, The Document Foundation suggests the well-tested LibreOffice 5.4.6 release, which is more suitable for enterprise deployments and mainstream users. Meanwhile, The Document Foundation works on the next major series, LibreOffice 6.1, which is expected to arrive mid-August 2018.
