LibreOffice 5 released

[mikeymikec]

I tend to tread carefully with LibreOffice updates; sometimes regressions creep in (I remember one in the last couple of years with regard to PDF exporting tables with visible borders, for example). I thought I would give v5 a try, so far no problems with it (on Win7 64).

When I clicked on new features at the LibreOffice website, I find a website page which is very slick with little usable content. Strictly marketing hype.

Any good links that really tell me what is new for this office product?

This seems big.

Windows

A native, 64-bit Windows build is now available.

• TDF release builds require Windows Vista or later.

i think i will let others try out version Libreoffice 5 because Libreoffice 4.4.5.2 works very very well 🙂

That is the same logic I am using for not upgrading from Window 7 SP1 to Windows 10. Though I am on LibreOffice 4.3.4.1.

Never the less, I might try out the 64 bit program. Going back shouldn't be that much of a hassle.

Been using it on Xubuntu. Honestly, I don't see any big differences. Everything works as expected.
