14 DAY TRIAL // The Document Foundation announced today the general availability of the fourth maintenance update to the LibreOffice 6.2 open-source office suite series for all supported platforms, including GNU/Linux, macOS, and Windows.
Coming about a month after the LibreOffice 6.2.3 release, the LibreOffice 6.2.4 update is here to squash even more of those pesky bugs reported by users lately, in an attempt to make the LibreOffice 6.2 office suite as stable as possible for enterprise deployments. A total of 106 issues were resolved in LibreOffice 6.2.4, but, for now, it is still recommended to bleeding edge users and technology enthusiasts who want the latest LibreOffice features.
"LibreOffice 6.2.4 represents the bleeding edge in term of features for open source office suites, and as such is not optimized for enterprise class deployments, where features are less important than robustness," said Italo Vignoli, Co Founder, Marketing & PR, The Document Foundation. "Company NameThe Document Foundation Users wanting a more mature version can download LibreOffice 6.1.6, which includes some months of back-ported fixes."
LibreOffice 6.2.5 expected to arrive in early July
Only three maintenance updates are left for the LibreOffice 6.2 office suite series, and the next one, LibreOffice 6.2.5, is expected to arrive in early July with even more bug fixes and improvements. By then, we believe that The Document Foundation will finally open the window for LibreOffice 6.2 to be deployed on enterprise environments, especially now that the LibreOffice 6.1 series reaches end of life on May 29th, 2019.
LibreOffice 6.2 will be supported until later this fall on November 30th, 2019, when the next major release, LibreOffice 6.3 should already be available for installations for early adopters. If you're already using the LibreOffice 6.2 office suite series on your personal computer, we recommend updating to the LibreOffice 6.2.4 point release as soon as possible. You can download LibreOffice 6.2.4 for GNU/Linux, macOS, and Windows.
