Just over a month after the previous version, The Document Foundation has once again lanzar a maintenance update for your office suite. Is about LibreOffice 7.1.3, a group of office applications that since v7.1 has come to carry the label of Community Edition or community edition. As a point update, what has been delivered to us has come to make Writer, Calc, Draw, Impress, Math and Base more reliable.
Altogether LibreOffice 7.1.3 has corrected 105 bugs, of which 25% have been introduced to improve compatibility with Microsoft Office formats .docx, .pptx and .xlsx, among others. After talking with a colleague about this, the truth is that compatibility is important, but, although it improves with each launch, I think that, if they ask us for a document in one of those formats, the safe thing will always be to use Microsoft Office. I hope I am wrong in the future.
LibreOffice 7.1.3 still not recommended for production teams
Once again, The Document Foundation has taken the opportunity to remind us that there is a version for companies with special benefits such as better support or on-demand features, but for the normal user, the suite remains business as usual. The only difference, and I don't know whether to label it "real", is that the support in the forums will be provided by the community, while the support for the business version is more direct. That and what they promise that some functions can be asked of them, something about which I can say little or nothing because I have not tried it nor do I know anyone who has requested anything.
LibreOffice 7.1.3 can now be downloaded from the official project page. In the next few days it will start to appear on some Linux distributions. We remember that the version recommended for production teams is still v7.0.5.
