Berlin, April 18, 2019 – The Document Foundation announces LibreOffice
6.2.3, the third bug and regression fixing release of the LibreOffice
6.2 family, targeted at tech-savvy individuals: early adopters,
technology enthusiasts and power users.
LibreOffice’s end 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://www.libreoffice.org/community/get-involved/, to improve
LibreOffice by contributing back in one of the following areas:
development, documentation, infrastructure, localization, quality
assurance, design or marketing.
LibreOffice 6.2.3 provides many bug and regression fixes over the
previous version, contributed by a thriving community of developers,
which are described in the change log pages:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/6.2.3/RC1 (changed in RC1)
and https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/6.2.3/RC2 (changed in RC2).
Enterprise Deployments
LibreOffice 6.2.3 represents the bleeding edge in term of features for
open source office suites, and as such is not optimized for enterprise
class deployments, where features are less important than robustness.
Users wanting a more mature version can download LibreOffice 6.1.5,
which includes some months of back-ported fixes.
Value-added services for enterprise class deployments – related to
software support, migrations and training – should be sourced from
certified professionals
(https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/professional-support/). In
addition, the LTS (Long Term Supported) version provided by two TDF
Advisory Board members offers specific characteristics and features
targeted to enterprise deployments
(https://www.documentfoundation.org/governance/advisory-board/).
Sourcing enterprise class software and/or services from the ecosystem of
certified professionals are the best support options for organizations
deploying LibreOffice on a large number of desktops. In fact, these
activities are contributed back to the project under the form of
improvements to the software and the community, and trigger a virtuous
circle which is beneficial to all parties, including users.
Availability of LibreOffice 6.2.3
LibreOffice 6.2.3 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
available as Docker images: https://hub.docker.com/r/libreoffice/online/.
LibreOffice Online is fundamentally a server service, 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.
