LibreOffice 7.6.1 is now available for download with over 120 solutions

The Document Foundation announced today announced the general availability of LibreOffice 7.6.1 as the first point release of the latest LibreOffice 7.6 open-source and free office suite series.

LibreOffice 7.6.1 is here just three weeks after its release LibreOffice 7.6 but it looks like it’s a big update that brings over 120 changes. According to the RC1 And RC2 changelogs, this update contains a total of 122 fixes and is highly recommended to all LibreOffice 7.6 users.

You can download the LibreOffice 7.6.1 binaries for DEB or RPM-based GNU/Linux distributions directly from the official website. These binary installers are packaged by The Document Foundation, and you’ll also find the source tarball available for download if you’re a systems integrator.

If you installed LibreOffice 7.6 from your GNU/Linux distribution’s software repositories, keep an eye on the release of LibreOffice 7.6.1 and update your installations as soon as possible.

LibreOffice 7.6 introduces new features such as support for zoom gestures on touchpads, support for document themes, the ability to import and export theme definitions for ODF and OOXML documents, as well as many improvements in font handling, especially for right-to-left scripts , CJK and Asian alphabets.

LibreOffice 7.6 will be supported with a total of seven maintenance updates until June 12, 2024. The next one, LibreOffice 7.6.2, is currently scheduled for early to mid-October 2023 and will most likely fix more of those pesky bugs and annoyances so you can enjoy an even more better LibreOffice office suite experience.

Once again, The Document Foundation reminds us all that this is the “Community” edition of LibreOffice, supported by volunteers. For enterprise-level implementations, The Document Foundation recommends the LibreOffice Enterprise family of applications from ecosystem partners.

In addition, The Document Foundation has developed a migration protocol to support companies that want to ditch their own office suites and migrate to LibreOffice. More details are available here.
