Volunteers will present the progress in code development at FOSDEM

Berlin, January 30, 2013 – The Document Foundation (TDF) announces LibreOffice 3.6.5, for Windows, MacOS and Linux, which is going to be the last of LibreOffice 3.6 family before LibreOffice 4.0, the next major release. This new release is another step forward in the process of improving the overall quality and stability of LibreOffice, and facilitating the migration process to free software.

LibreOffice 3.6.5 arrives a couple of days before FOSDEM 2013 (Brussels, Belgium, February 2/3), where TDF developer’s community will gather for the third time since the birth of the project. LibreOffice will have a booth in building K and a DevRoom – with several talks about hacking the source code – in building H (https://fosdem.org/2013/schedule/track/libreoffice/) on Sunday, February 3, from 9:30AM onwards (room H.2213).

In addition, on Sunday at 3PM Michael Meeks will speak about “LibreOffice: cleaning and re-factoring a giant code-base (or why re-writing it would be even worse)” (https://fosdem.org/2013/schedule/event/challenges_libreoffice/), in Room Janson.

LibreOffice users, free software advocates and community members can support The Document Foundation with a donation. There is a donation page – with many options including PayPal and credit cards – at http://donate.libreoffice.org, to support the infrastructure.

LibreOffice 3.6.5 is available for immediate download from the following link: http://www.libreoffice.org/download/. Extensions for LibreOffice are available from the following link: http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center.

The change log is available at https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/3.6.5/RC2 (fixed in 3.6.5).

    Looks good, some problems with conditional formatting and error bars in charts, but they are well known from previous releases.

    Thanks to developers for a great job!

    My clients and I would very much appreciate it if toolbars on the mac where not in white but in gray. Clients think the Windows version looks more professional.

    This is the last *before* 4.0. 3.6.6 will come out after 4.0.
