A new version of the free office suite, LibreOffice 7.6 Community, has been released and can be downloaded right away.

A statement from The Document Foundation, the body that oversees the project, said there were versions for Windows (Intel/AMD and ARM processors), macOS (Apple and Intel processors), and Linux.

This release is the last to use traditional version numbering: first digit for release cycle, second digit for major release.

From next year, TDF will adopt calendar-based release numbering: the next major release will be LibreOffice 2024.02 in February 2024.

The statement said new features had been developed by 148 contributors. A total of 61% of code commits were from the 52 developers employed by three companies sitting on TDF’s advisory board — Collabora, Red Hat and allotropia — or other organisations.

Of the remaining, 15% were from seven developers at TDF, and 24% from 89 individual volunteers.

Apart from these contributors, another 202 volunteers — representing hundreds of other people providing translations — had committed localisations in 160 languages.

LibreOffice 7.6 Community supports 120 languages, the most of any software, and can be used by more than 5.4 billion people in their native languages.

In addition, more than 2.3 billion people speak one of those 120 languages as their second language.

The new release has many improvements and features meant for users sharing documents with Microsoft Office or migrating from Microsoft Office. Such users have been advised to check new LibreOffice releases regularly, as each new version improved dramatically over the previous one.

Some significant improvements:

Writer: several fixes for frames in DOCX files, for lost frames, combined frames that should be separate, split frames that should be combined, overlapping frames, ignored parent styles, lost relative positioning, wrong absolute positioning, and lost rotation.

Writer: character properties of DOCX paragraph markers are now also stored in ODT files.

Writer: significant handling improvements for multi-page floating tables, especially when importing/exporting files from/to DOCX/DOC/RTF.

Calc: fixed export of conditionally formatted cell border colours to XLSX.
