Today version 3.5.0 of LibreOffice was released. The list of new features and fixes is impressive and can be found here.
As always, the updated SlackBuild script has been submitted to SlackBuilds.org and pre-built packages can be found on my site.
Today LibreOffice 3.4.3 was released. Updating my SlackBuild script is now extremely simple, so the newest packages can already be downloaded from my site while the SlackBuild is waiting in the pending queue.
I also built the usual language packs and they are being uploaded as well and should be available later tonight.
Today (or yesterday, depending on your timezone) LibreOffice 3.4.2 was released.
Officially stable
This is the first release from the 3.4 series that is officially declared stable enough for enterprise use. So now we can all retire our 3.3.x installations and start using 3.4.2.
I admit that I’ve been using the 3.4 versions since 3.4.0, but I’m not [...]
Another version of LibreOffice was released recently, 3.4.1.
When I first “created” the SlackBuild for LibreOffice (I actually adapted rworkman’s OpenOffice.org script with his permission) it was because I was convinced that it would substitute OpenOffice.org eventually, as “open source” and “Oracle” did not sound like a happy marriage. And it seems that I was right, [...]
LibreOffice 3.3.2 has been released officially and I prepared the usual packages for Slackware 32- & 64 bits.
I put them in my Slackware 13.37 repository, but they should work just as fine on Slackware 13.1, as these are repackaged from the original binaries built by the Document Foundation.
Feel free to download the pre-built packages or [...]
I altered my SlackBuild script for the newly released 3.3.1 version of LibreOffice and the companion “Language Packs”.
The new script is in the “pending queue” on SlackBuilds.org waiting for one of the admins to approve it.
In the mean time, you can get it from my site, where I also uploaded pre-built versions for Slackware and [...]
The year 2011 started with changes and lots of work, so I have been without time to work on most private projects, including the SlackBuild scripts I maintain.
But things are clearing up and I found some time this weekend to update some scripts – the ones most people asked me about
Actually, this was [...]
The third Beta release for LibreOffice 3.3.0 happened about a week ago, but only now I had some time to resubmit the SlackBuilds and create the packages.
As with the previous Beta2, I created the packages from the binary RPM distributions and uploaded packages for the base LibreOffice suite and for the en_GB, pt_BR and nl [...]
LibreOffice
So you installed one of the beta versions of LibreOffice and it seems to work fine. But you had OpenOffice.org running in your local language and can’t get used to “File”, “Tools”, etc. menus and want them back in your own language you got used to after all these years.
Language Packs
The Document Foundation does not [...]
The Document Foundation released a binary tarball of the second beta version of LibreOffice 3.3.0
Packages for both the 32- and 64-bits versions are available on my site. Remember that it is still a beta release and is not recommended for production.
