[tdf-announce] LibreOffice 6.1.4 announced

Berlin, December 18, 2018 – The Document Foundation announces
LibreOffice 6.1.4, the 4th minor release of the LibreOffice 6.1 family,
targeted at tech savvy individuals: early adopters, technology
enthusiasts and power users.

LibreOffice 6.1.4 provides over 120 bug and regression fixes over the
previous version, contributed by a thriving community of developers,
which are described in the change log pages:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/6.1.4/RC1 (changed in RC1)
and  https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/6.1.4/RC2 (changed in
RC2).

LibreOffice users are invited to join the community at
https://ask.libreoffice.org, where they can get and provide user-to-user
support. While TDF can not provide commercial level support, there are
guides, manuals, tutorials and HowTo on the website and the wiki. Your
donation help us make these available.

Enterprise deployments

LibreOffice 6.1.4 represents the bleeding edge in term of features for
open source office suites, and as such is not optimized for enterprise
class deployments, where features are less important than robustness.
Users wanting a more mature version can download LibreOffice 6.0.7,
which includes some months of back-ported fixes.

Value-added services for enterprise class deployments – related to
software support, migrations and training – should be sourced from
certified professionals
(https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/professional-support/). In
addition, some of TDF Advisory Board members provide LibreOffice LTS
(Long Term Supported) versions targeted to enterprise deployments
(https://www.documentfoundation.org/governance/advisory-board/).

Sourcing enterprise class software and/or services from the ecosystem of
certified professionals are the best support options for organizations
deploying LibreOffice on a large number of desktops. In fact, these
activities are contributed back to the project under the form of
improvements to the software and the community, and trigger a virtuous
circle which is beneficial to all parties, including users.

Availability of LibreOffice 6.1.4

LibreOffice 6.1.4 is immediately available from the following link:
https://www.libreoffice.org/download/. Minimum requirements for
proprietary operating systems are Microsoft Windows 7 SP1 and Apple
macOS 10.9. Builds of the latest LibreOffice Online source code are
available as Docker images: https://hub.docker.com/r/libreoffice/online/.

LibreOffice Online is fundamentally a server service, and should be
installed and configured by adding cloud storage and an SSL certificate.
It might be considered an enabling technology for the cloud services
offered by ISPs or the private cloud of enterprises and large organizations.

LibreOffice users, free software advocates and community members can
support The Document Foundation with a donation at
https://www.libreoffice.org/donate.

LibreOffice 6.1.4 is built with document conversion libraries from the
Document Liberation Project: https://www.documentliberation.org.
