The Document Foundation has announced LibreOffice 7.6 Community, a major new release of the volunteer-supported free office suite for desktop productivity.
The new version is available for download for Windows (Intel/AMD and ARM processors), macOS (Apple and Intel processors), and Linux. As the announcement states, after 12 years of development, “it is increasingly difficult to develop entirely new features,” so this version offers mainly refinements or improvements of existing ones. The next major release will be LibreOffice 2024.02 in February 2024.
The announcement also recognizes the efforts of LibreOffice contributors, noting that the features in this release have been developed by 148 contributors: “61% of code commits are from the 52 developers employed by three companies sitting in TDF’s Advisory Board – Collabora, Red Hat and allotropia — or other organizations, 15% are from 7 developers at The Document Foundation, and the remaining 24% are from 89 individual volunteers.” And, another “202 volunteers — representing hundreds of other people providing translations — have committed localizations in 160 languages.”
