The new version LibreOffice 6.0.3 was recently released and promises to surpass its strong rival, Microsoft Office.
LibreOffice 6.0.3 is the leading alternative to Microsoft Office for organizations wishing to transition from Microsoft software to the world of open source.
This is the third version 6.0 and although many claim that it is a minor update, it actually addresses seventy security bugs.
Of course, the new stable version includes all the improvements from the RC builds and comes with a new technical change log that will surely catch the attention of many of you.
Some of the most important changes it introduces are for Linux, Mac and Windows computers. For example, on Linux and Mac, the new version can be installed alongside LibreOffice 5.4, but they cannot run side by side. On Windows, however, installing the latest version automatically updates the existing LibreOffice installation.
We should point out a key detail for Windows users at this point. LibreOffice 6 requires you to have Windows 7 or later. This means that Windows XP cannot receive the new update. For your information, the end of Windows XP was announced on April 8, 2014, and since then, no security updates have been released for the operating system.
You can download the new version of LibreOffice for Windows, Linux and Mac without any hesitation. Be careful, however, this particular version is recommended for experts in the program, so those of you who are not very good with LibreOffice or do not use it regularly are better off staying with version 5.4.6.
