The Document Foundation announces LibreOffice 3.6.1

Berlin, August 29, 2012 - The Document Foundation (TDF) announces 
LibreOffice 3.6.1, a new and improved version of the best free office 
suite ever. It is available for Windows, Mac and Linux, solving a number 
of issues and regressions, plus further improving the stability of the 
program. LibreOffice 3.6.1 is offered in over 100 languages, covering 
all the countries of Europe and the Americas, and many countries in 
Africa and Asia/Pacific where it is often the only available native 
language suite.

LibreOffice 3.6.1 is announced within a month after the 3.6.0 release, 
which brings lots of new features and functionality:

LibreOffice is quickly becoming the de-facto standard for migrations to 
free office suites, thanks to the growing feature set and the improved 
interoperability with proprietary software file formats.

News also comes from the Regione Umbria, the first Italian region to 
recognize and support ODF in 2007, that has just announced a migration 
project to LibreOffice, which will start in autumn and involve 5,000 
desktops in different organizations. The migration project has launched 
a blog in Italian at http://libreumbria.wordpress.com/

The Câmara Municipal de Vieira do Minho (county of Vieira do Minho) in 
Portugal has also announced its migration to LibreOffice:

The growing number of adoptions of LibreOffice by private and public 
enterprises is testament to the improvements brought to the old code by 
TDF, thanks to over 500 developers and many testers and translators 
working on exciting new features, stability and quality.

While preparing the next major version, the LibreOffice community 
continues to work on the current 3.6 series of its software, and has 
also produced another maintenance release for the previous 3.5 series, 
to ensure continuity and stability for adopters.

TDF has also just announced a new “HardHacks” project at 
http://skyfromme.wordpress.com/2012/08/20/announcing-libreoffice-hardhacks/ 
 and will be reporting progress on this on a regular basis.
