LibreOffice monthly recap: June 2018
There’s a lot going on in the LibreOffice community, in the lead up to LibreOffice 6.1, in development, documentation, design, QA, translations and much more. Here’s a summary of news and updates in June…
- LibreOffice 6.0.5 was announced, and includes almost 100 bug and regression fixes. See the announcement for the full details.
- We started posting out stickers to contributors from the Month of LibreOffice, May 2018 – a big thanks to everyone who took part! We hope you enjoy receiving these in the post…
- The Document Foundation announced the results of the image handling rework tender. Collabora was selected to do the work, and we posted a technical summary of the results.
- The LibreOffice Conference 2018 is coming up on September, and the call for papers is still open until July 15. If you’re attending the conference (and you totally should!), you can submit a presentation idea here.
- We talked to Andreas Kanz from the LibreOffice design community. He described the new table styles, icon themes and Notebookbar improvements he has been working on – take a look and see how you can help too!
- And, of course, there was progress towards LibreOffice 6.1. A second beta release was made available, while preparations were made for the next Bug Hunting Session. Join in the testing to make it a super-solid release!
