LibreOffice 6.1.1 released, for early adopters, technology enthusiasts and power users

Berlin, September 13, 2018 – The Document Foundation announces LibreOffice 6.1.1, targeted at early adopters, technology enthusiasts and power users, which provides over 120 bug and regression fixes for the recently announced LibreOffice 6.1.

LibreOffice users can benefit from some of the interesting new features introduced in August:

  • Colibre, the new icon theme for Windows based on Microsoft’s icon design guidelines;
  • The reworked image handling feature, which is significantly faster and smoother thanks to a new graphic manager and an improved image lifecycle;
  • The reorganization of Draw menus with the addition of a new Page menu;
  • The new Online Help pages enriched with text and example files to guide the users through features;
  • Several improvements to all modules of LibreOffice Online, with changes to the user interface to make it more appealing.
