Berlin/Aarhus, September 23, 2015 - The Document Foundation has
announced LibreOffice 5.0.2 during the opening session of the
LibreOffice Conference, to underline the importance of the event for the
community. LibreOffice Conference has opened today, and will be closing
on Friday, September 25.
LibreOffice 5.0.2 is the second minor release of the LibreOffice 5.0
family, with a large number of fixes over the first minor release
announced in August. So far, the LibreOffice 5.0 family is the most
popular LibreOffice ever, based on feedback from the marketplace.
LibreOffice 5.02 will offer OpenGL rendering by default on Windows for
the first time, for those with the very latest windows drivers. The
functionality is easy to disable in case of issues by accessing Tools >
Options.
LibreOffice 5.0.2 is targeted to technology enthusiasts, early adopters
and power users. For more conservative users, and for enterprise
deployments, TDF suggests the "still" version: LibreOffice 4.4.5. For
enterprise deployments, The Document Foundation recommends the backing
of professional support by certified people (a list is available at:
http://www.documentfoundation.org/certification/).

(fixed in RC1) and
