Yesterday The Document Foundation (TDF) announced<\/a> the release of LibreOffice 5.4.2, the second minor release of the LibreOffice 5.4 family. LibreOffice 5.4.2 continues to represent the bleeding edge in terms of features and as such is targeted at technology enthusiasts and early adopters.<\/p>\n

TDF suggests that more conservative users and businesses deploy LibreOffice 5.3.6 with the support of certified professionals<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"LibreOffice<\/p>\n

LibreOffice 5.4.2 includes approximately 100 bug and regression fixes. Technical details about the release can be found in the RC1<\/a> (release candidate) and RC2<\/a> change logs.<\/p>\n

LibreOffice 5.4.2 is available for download<\/a> for all major platforms (Linux, MacOS and Windows).<\/p>\n

LibreOffice users, free software advocates and community members are invited to support the work of The Document Foundation with a donation<\/a>.

LibreOffice wins survey amongst Ubuntu users<\/h4>\n

LibreOffice was the runaway winner in a survey of Ubuntu Linux<\/a> users for desktop productivity software with 85.52% of the votes. The closest competitors were Google Docs with 4.29%, WPS Office with 3.22% and Apache OpenOffice with 1.96%, while all other office suites accounted for less than 1% responses.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven with Windows shipping Ubuntu\/Bash on their desktop, even with Google shipping Chromebooks with Linux+Chrome pre-installed, even with Mac OS running away with a premium segment of the desktop market, even with Android phones and tablets, there are many tens of millions of passionate Ubuntu desktop users who are eager to have their voices heard! And LibreOffice continues to be THE enabler of local office productivity on the Ubuntu Desktop,\u201d says Dustin Kirkland, Vice-President of Product Development for Ubuntu at Canonical<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The results<\/a> of the Ubuntu 18.04 LTS<\/abbr> Default Desktop Applications Survey were presented by Dustin Kirkland at the UbuCon Europe conference in Paris<\/a> in September.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
