In data odierna è stato rilasciato LibreOffice 3.6.2, che porta con sè le migliorie grafiche che caratterizzano la serie 3.6.x rispetto alle precedenti release, e migliora la stabilità di questa suite da ufficio mediante un intenso lavoro di bugfix. Migliora anche l'integrazione con Mac OS e Windows, nonchè nelle performance dei vari software su tutti i sistemi operativi.
Per installare LibreOffice su Ubuntu, digitiamo:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libreoffice
Se invece dobbiamo aggiornare una versione di libreoffice precedentemente installata, all'ultimo dei tre comandi scritti sopra sostituiamo la riga seguente:
sudo apt-get upgrade
Segnalo che oggi 4 ottobre 2012 il PPA non è stato ancora aggiornato (l'attuale versione resta la 3.6.1) tuttavia presto la nuova release sarà disponibile.
In alternativa è possibile scaricare i pacchetti da installare, per Linux, Mac OS e Windows, dalla pagina ufficiale italiana di LibreOffice.
Ora potrete verificare voi stesse le molte novità di questa versione. Per chi mastica un po' di inglese, riporto qui le note di rilascio, divise per categorie.
