Prior to the release, the LibreOffice Android app only supported viewing files, and users couldn’t modify them. The release also brings basic editing features to LibreOffice for Android, which makes it possible for users of Google’s mobile operating system to tweak their documents on the go. LibreOffice 5 is also available as a 64-bit application for Windows users who have Vista or above installed on their machine. Importantly, the update also makes LibreOffice compatible with Windows 10 a week after Microsoft launched the update to its operating system. That’s key for a suite that is being marketed to enterprises, which don’t want to see employee productivity lost as a result of buggy software. Contributors to the project have solved more than 25,000 bugs. In addition to the new features, Italo Vignoli, one of the founders of the Document Foundation (which oversees development of LibreOffice), said that the recent version is the most reliable edition of LibreOffice yet. There are also a handful of new features designed to make Calc play nicer with Excel. Writer now supports exporting highlights and shading that’s compatible with Microsoft Word.Ĭalc, LibreOffice’s Excel replacement, received a number of improvements, including support for engineering notation, repeating item labels in pivot tables, and floor and ceiling spreadsheet functions. LibreOffice 5 also includes improved support for importing files produced in other applications like Apple’s Pages, and the MacDraft drawing and drafting tool. The refreshed suite has an overhauled user interface, including a redesigned Start Center that provides easy access to recently edited documents and the ability to create new files. LibreOffice, the popular open source office suite, received a major update with the release of version 5.0, which adds a host of new features and compatibility with Windows 10.
