LibreOffice 7.0: LibreOffice continues to be the number one alternative to Microsoft Office and the The Document Foundation has continuous improvements every time.
At the same time, the team of developers is developing the next major release that is expected to be released this summer as LibreOffice 7.0.
So this week The Document Foundation introduced the first alpha build of LibreOffice for Windows, Linux and Mac.
The first version of LibreOffice has been released to the public, as developers have already started bug hunting. It's a win win move as it allows users to test the latest version of the suite and share any issues they encounter with the developer team, essentially helping them fix the application from these very early stages of development.
LibreOffice 7.0, as mentioned above, is expected to be released in August with many improvements for each application included in the suite.
Details of the new version are included in the wiki, and they mention:
"DOCX is now stored in native 2013/2016/2019 mode instead of the 2007 compatibility mode. This mainly benefits Word users."
Η new update of LibreOffice comes with an improved UI as the developer team added a new icon theme (Sukapura). It will be the default theme on macOS and will make the suite look more modern in all its applications.
