The Document Foundation He launched in mid-August v7.4 of its office suite. Among the novelties was, for example, the complete support for the WebP image format, and with the new functions already on the table, what follows are corrective versions. That is what have launched today, LibreOffice 7.4.1, correcting bugs and improving compatibility with Microsoft Office formats, which unfortunately is still the most widespread option.
LibreOffice 7.4.1 has fixed 80 bugs. The changes are collected in the release notes of the rc1 and rc2 of this update, where we can read, for example, that bugs have been corrected such as opening spreadsheets that could take a long time or that when converting TXT files to PDF it failed showing the ERRCODE_IO_CANTWRITE error.
LibreOffice 7.4.1 contains the newest, but least tested
As always, The Document Foundation reminds us that we are dealing with its newest proposal, which is aimed at users who want all the news as soon as possible, also known as “early adopters”. For those who prefer something more stable, TDF also offers LibreOffice 7.3.6, with already six point updates that ensure its stability. And it's not that 7.4 isn't stable; simply 7.3 is more.
For users who don't need the latest features and prefer a version that has undergone more testing and bug fixing, The Document Foundation maintains the LibreOffice 7.3 family, which includes a few months of backlogs and is currently at version 7.3.6. .XNUMX.
LibreOffice 7.4.1 It is now available for all supported systems (initially Windows, macOS and Linux) since the official website. From there, Linux users can download DEB and RPM packages, but soon we will be able to download this update from Flatub. In the next hours or days, or even months depending on the philosophy of the distribution, the new packages will appear as updates in the different software centers.
I love that libre office keeps moving forward
