Linux - LibreOffice 3.3 Released

Development team who 'defected' from the recently released OpenOffice office suite based on open source and free, namely LibreOffice 3.3.

After leaving the OpenOffice development team, some developers are then established LibreOffice. Departure of the developers was triggered by acquisitions made by Oracle to OpenOffice.

The 'dissident' is felt that this acquisition could make OpenOffice is open source or free again, although it has denied Oracle.

Not long after leaving, the developer was founded LibreOffice and began developing office applications based on free open source named LibreOffice.

Finally the first stable version of 'rival' of OpenOffice was released by the team of developers, LibreOffice 3.3 and brought the features that are not much different from OpenOffice, but with 'spice' other extras, including support for PDF-based documents, increasing the number of rows in a spreadsheet, an increase
support for the printing function, and new fonts.

"We are very pleased. This is the first release stable version of LibreOffice and we hope to get feedback from users," said Red Hat's Caolán McNamara, a spokesman for LibreOffice, who launched V3, quoted by CBN.

Attendance LibreOffice certainly adds an alternative for users of free office applications, especially for Linux users. LibreOffce itself consists of six applications, including word processing Writer, Calc spreadsheets, Impress for presentations, Draw for diagrams, Base database front end and the Math equation editor.

Office suite itself, in addition to Linux, is also available for users of Mac and Windows. If you want to know more clearly and give it a try, please visit the official website LibreOffice.
