Berlin, April 5, 2012 - The Document Foundation announces LibreOffice
3.5.2, the third version of the 3.5 family, targeting private
individuals and enterprises. LibreOffice 3.5.2 fixes an additional large
number of the bugs identified by TDF QA experts and LibreOffice users
worldwide.
LibreOffice has recently been selected as a mentoring organization for
Google Summer of Code. Students are invited to look at the GSoC Ideas
Wiki Page at http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Gsoc/Ideas
to get inspired for their next task. One of 2011 GSoC projects, the MS
Visio Import Filter, has been integrated in LibreOffice 3.5 (and the
author, Eilidh McAdam, has already found a LibreOffice development
related employer: Lanedo).
"The Document Foundation continues to grow month after month, with a
constant flow of new hackers and volunteers taking care of development,
quality assurance and localization", says Florian Effenberger, Chairman
of the Board. "The updated LibreOffice infographic represents some of
the numbers, with the growth of pure code hackers - who are now 429 (376
if we do not include the former Sun/Oracle employees) - being the most
impressive achievement".
LibreOffice 3.5.2 is available for immediate download from the following
