Download LibreOffice 3.6.5

While version 4.0 is on the cusp of release, The Document Foundation has yet to release an update to version 3.6 of LibreOffice. This open source office suite originated as a fork of OpenOffice and comes with the word processor Writer, spreadsheet program Calc, presentation program Impress, drawing program Draw, database program Base and Formula, an application for creating scientific notations. Version 3.6.5, which has since been found to be sufficiently stable to be recommended for production environments, also contains new features. The release notes look like this:

LibreOffice 3.6.5 Final

This is the sixth release from the 3.6 branch of LibreOffice. It contains many exciting new features, and is the recommended version for home and corporate users. (See this page for LibreOffice 3.5.)

The following notes apply:

• This release is bit-for-bit identical to the 3.6.5 Release Candidate 2, so you don’t need to download or reinstall if you have that version already.
• The distribution for Windows is an international build, so you can choose the user interface language that you prefer. Help content is available via an online service, or alternatively as a separate install.
• Our Windows binaries are digitally signed by The Document Foundation.
• For Windows users that have LibreOffice prior to version 3.4.5 installed, uninstall that beforehand. Otherwise, the upgrade to 3.6.5 may fail.
• For Windows users that have OpenOffice.org installed, we recommend uninstalling that beforehand, because it registers the same file type associations.
• If you run Windows 2000, you may require this update before being able to install LibreOffice.
• If you run Linux, the GCJ Java variant has known issues with LibreOffice, we advise to eg use OpenJDK instead.
• A full list of annoying bugs is available from the wiki.
