#1

Berlin, August 14, 2019 – The Document Foundation announces LibreOffice
6.2.6, the sixth minor release of the LibreOffice 6.2 family, targeted
at users in production environments. All users of LibreOffice 6.1.x and
LibreOffice 6.2.x versions should upgrade immediately for enhanced
security, as the software includes both security fixes and some months
of back-ported fixes.

LibreOffice’s individual users are helped by a global community of
volunteers: https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/community-support/. On
the website and the wiki there are guides, manuals, tutorials and
HowTos. Donations help us to make all of these resources available.

LibreOffice users are invited to join the community at
https://ask.libreoffice.org, where they can get and provide user-to-user
support. While TDF can not provide commercial level support, there are
guides, manuals, tutorials and HowTos on the website and the wiki. Your
donations help us make these available.

LibreOffice 6.2.6’s change log pages are available on TDF’s wiki:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/6.2.6/RC1 (changed in RC1)
and https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/6.2.6/RC2 (changed in RC2).

LibreOffice in business

For enterprise class deployments, TDF strongly recommend sourcing
LibreOffice from one of the ecosystem partners to get long-term
supported releases, dedicated assistance, custom new features and bug
fixes, and other benefits. Also, the work done by ecosystem partners
flows back into the LibreOffice project, benefiting everyone.

Also, support for migrations and trainings should be sourced from
certified professionals who provide value-added services which extend
the reach of the community to the corporate world and offer CIOs and IT
managers a solution in line with proprietary offerings.

In fact, LibreOffice – thanks to its mature codebase, rich feature set,
strong support for open standards, excellent compatibility and long-term
support options from certified partners – represents the ideal solution
for businesses that want to regain control of their data and free
themselves from vendor lock-in.

Availability of LibreOffice 6.2.6

LibreOffice 6.2.6 is immediately available from the following link:
https://www.libreoffice.org/download/. Minimum requirements for
proprietary operating systems are Microsoft Windows 7 SP1 and Apple
macOS 10.9. Builds of the latest LibreOffice Online source code are also
available as Docker images: https://hub.docker.com/r/libreoffice/online/.

LibreOffice Online is fundamentally a server-based platform, and should
be installed and configured by adding cloud storage and an SSL
certificate. It might be considered an enabling technology for the cloud
services offered by ISPs or the private cloud of enterprises and large
organizations.

LibreOffice users, free software advocates and community members can
support The Document Foundation with a donation at

LibreOffice 6.2.6 is built with document conversion libraries from the
Document Liberation Project: https://www.documentliberation.org.
