Download LibreOffice 6.3.1

The Document Foundation has released the first update to version 6.3 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.

In version 6.3 we see performance improvements in Writer and Calc when a document has multiple bookmarks, tables and embedded fonts and the export to PDF and support for Microsoft Office documents have been improved. Version 6.3.1 had two release candidates, with a total of 82 improvements.
