The Document Foundation releases LibreOffice 7.0.4

Posted in Announcements, LibreOffice, Press Releases By Italo Vignoli On December 17, 2020

Berlin, December 17, 2020 – LibreOffice 7.0.4, the fourth minor release of the LibreOffice 7.0 family, is available from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/. All users are invited to update to this version, as the LibreOffice 6.4 family won’t be updated, having reached end-of-life. LibreOffice 7.0.4 includes over 110 bug fixes and improvements to document compatibility.

LibreOffice offers the highest level of compatibility in the office suite arena, starting from native support for the OpenDocument Format (ODF) – with better security and interoperability features – to wide support for proprietary formats. End user support is provided by volunteers via email and online resources: https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/community-support/. On the website and the wiki there are guides, manuals, tutorials and HowTos. Donations help us to make all of these resources available.

For enterprise class deployments, TDF strongly recommends sourcing LibreOffice from one of the ecosystem partners, to get long-term supported releases, dedicated assistance, custom new features and other benefits, including SLAs (Service Level Agreements): https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-in-business/.

Support for migrations and training should be sourced from certified professionals who provide value-added services which extend the reach of the community to the corporate world. Also, the work done by ecosystem partners flows back into the LibreOffice project, and this represents an advantage for everyone.

LibreOffice 7.0.4 change log pages are available on TDF’s wiki: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/7.0.4/RC1 (changed in RC1) and https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/7.0.4/RC2 (changed in RC2). All versions of LibreOffice are built with document conversion libraries from the Document Liberation Project: https://www.documentliberation.org.

LibreOffice users are invited to join the community at https://ask.libreoffice.org, where they can get and provide user-to-user support. People willing to contribute their time and professional skills to the project can visit the dedicated website at https://whatcanidoforlibreoffice.org.

LibreOffice users, free software advocates and community members can provide financial support to The Document Foundation with a donation via PayPal, credit card or other tools at https://www.libreoffice.org/donate.

      Hi, if you mean documents, they use the same format – so all of your OpenOffice documents should work in LibreOffice.

      Hi, I’m afraid we can’t provide technical support in blog comments (we’re a small non-profit with very limited resources). For all help please use: https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/questions/

    Good Morning! I wanted to make a suggestion, make an OpenOffice for Android … Even if it was for an affordable price … It’s a question to think about. Good job, congratulations.

    Hi, Going from 6.4 to 7.0.4, is that an upgrade to 6.4, or is it best to uninstall 6.4 and do a clean install of 7.0.4, Thanks, Terry
