At the end of August we wrote an article announcing that the version 3.4.3 de LibreOffice it was already ready to be downloaded. Well, users of Debian Testing you can install it via repositories since yesterday.
Let us remember that this is a branch that brings some relevant changes, such as: Title and simple page numbering, improvements in the ergonomics of working with cells, support for importing PDF, slide-show presentation console, ability to work and import files SVG, a better report generator and support for extensions, among some others that you can see in this link.
Also, the branch 3.4 added new shadows and gradients to the edge of documents, improved rendering of fonts in GNU / Linux, an improved option to export to HTML from Impress and the code has been rewritten from java to C++ to import and export files ODF which has increased speed.
LibreOffice is separated from OpenOffice.org.
As was logical, in the effort to improve LibreOffice the developers of this suite are gradually moving away from the original product: OpenOffice.org. So much has been the change that a developer named Michael Meeks After analyzing the source code of both projects, he found that the developers of LibreOffice they have eliminated 526.000 lines of code OpenOffice.org and added a total of 290.000 new lines, including filters for LotusWord Pro, improvements in VBA and a new filter for the RTF format.
And I wonder what they expected? Do you want me LibreOffice depend on the changes that managers can make OpenOffice.org en The Apache Foundation?
