The Document Foundation announces LibreOffice 6.0.2

2018-03-01

Berlin, March 1st, 2018 – The Document Foundation (TDF) announces LibreOffice 6.0.2, the second minor release of the recently announced LibreOffice 6 family in just over a month, with around 50 bug and regression fixes. All LibreOffice users are invited to update either to LibreOffice 6.0.2 or to LibreOffice 5.4.5 to solve potential security-related issues.

TDF suggests to conservative users and enterprises to deploy LibreOffice with the backing of certified developers, migrators and trainers (an updated list is available at: https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/professional-support/). This is extremely important for the growth of the LibreOffice ecosystem.

Technical details about LibreOffice 6.0.2 bug and regression fixes are available in the change log: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/6.0.2/RC1 (fixed in RC1).

Download LibreOffice

LibreOffice 6.0.2 is immediately available for download at the following link: https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download/.

LibreOffice users, free software advocates and community members can support The Document Foundation with a donation at https://www.libreoffice.org/donate/. Donations help TDF to maintain its infrastructure, share knowledge, and fund the activities of local communities, such as the event in Surabaya, Indonesia, on March 23/25 (http://libreoffice.id) or the hackfest in Hamburg, Germany, on April 6/8 (https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Hackfest/Hamburg2018).

Several companies sitting in TDF’s Advisory Board (https://www.documentfoundation.org/governance/advisory-board/) provide either value-added LTS versions of LibreOffice or consultancy services for migrations and training, based on best practices distilled by The Document Foundation.

Bjoern Michaelsen has just announced the LibreOffice Hackfest Hamburg 2018 on April 7th and 8th, which will be the first of The New Generation. Details about the LibreOffice Hackfest Hamburg 2018 are kept on the TDF wiki page and will be continuously updated. If you are interested in joining the event please start adding your name there (especially if you are looking for TDF travel and accommodation sponsorship).

The German LibreOffice community will join the Hackfest in Hamburg, to discuss non-coding topics like localization, documentation, quality assurance and marketing in the German context. This represents a very good opportunity to meet those active in German-speaking countries, and plan and coordinate how to push the project, the product and the brand in the German context.

The LibreOffice Hackfest Hamburg 2018 will be hosted by Freiheit Technologies.

Sunday Marketing #6

2018-02-19

Last week, we have published the crash report chart just two days after the announcement of LibreOffice 6.0.1, to show the impact of the new version on the issues reported by Windows users.

Ten days after the announcement the impact is even more visible, and the chart on the left shows that the situation is now under control.

The trend shows how important is for LibreOffice users to quickly update to the last available version to reduce the number of potential issues.
