LibreOffice 4.0.1 released

Yesterday The Document Foundation blog announced the release of LibreOffice 4.0.1 for Linux, MacOS and Windows. This follows the release of LibreOffice 4.0 at the start of last month (posts passim).

The Document Foundation describes the new release is a step forward in the process of improving the overall quality and stability of LibreOffice 4.0. However, for business use The Document Foundation suggests the more solid and stable LibreOffice 3.6.5.

Nearly 100 bugs have been fixed in the 4.0.1 release, according to the release notes.

The Foundation’s Documentation team has also released a “Getting Started with LibreOffice 4.0” guide. This is available in PDF and ODF formats from the LibreOffice website and as a printed book from Lulu.

LibreOffice 4.0.1 can be downloaded from the LibreOffice website, whilst extensions for LibreOffice are available from the extension repository.

In addition, the release has been announced of LibreOffice Impress Remote (posts passim), which will allow users to control Impress presentations from an Android smartphone. LibreOffice Impress remote is now available free of charge from Google Play for all platforms – Linux, MacOS and Windows, whilst instructions for its use can be found on the Document Foundation wiki.
