Download LibreOffice 5.4.1

The Document Foundation has released version 5.4.1 of LibreOffice. This open source office package 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 making scientific notations.

Version 5.4 contains a large number of improvements, especially in Writer and Calc. For example, copying and pasting bulleted text is a lot better, the last settings used when importing CSV files are remembered and formulas can now contain a negative date. Furthermore, pdfium has been integrated which provides better quality of images in pdf files and we also see some performance improvements. Version 5.4.1 had two release candidates, in which just under a hundred improvements were made.
