[tdf-announce] LibreOffice 7.1.1 Community available for download

Berlin, March 4, 2021 – LibreOffice 7.1.1 Community, the first minor 
release of the LibreOffice 7.1 family, targeted at technology 
enthusiasts and power users, is available for download from 
https://www.libreoffice.org/download/. LibreOffice 7.1.1 includes over 
90 bug fixes and improvements to document compatibility.

For enterprise-class deployments, TDF strongly recommends the 
LibreOffice Enterprise family of applications from ecosystem partners, 
with long-term support options, professional assistance, custom features 
and Service Level Agreements:

LibreOffice Community and the LibreOffice Enterprise family of products 
are based on the LibreOffice Technology platform, the result of years of 
development efforts with the objective of providing a state of the art 
office suite not only for the desktop but also for mobile and the cloud.

Products based on LibreOffice Technology are available for major desktop 
operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux and Chrome OS), mobile 
platforms (Android and iOS) and the cloud. They may have a different 
name, according to each company brand strategy, but they share the same 
LibreOffice unique advantages, robustness and flexibility.

Most significant new features of LibreOffice 7.1

LibreOffice 7.1 family adds several interoperability improvements with 
DOCX/XLSX/PPTX files: improvements to Writer tables (better 
import/export and management of table functions, and better support for 
change tracking in floating tables); a better management of cached field 
results in Writer; support of spacing below the header's last paragraph 
in DOC/DOCX files; and additional SmartArt improvements when importing 
PPTX files.

GENERAL: (1) new dialog to select the User Interface flavor, aiming to 
pick the right UI based on each user's own preferences at first start; 
and (2) print Preview is now updated asynchronously, to not block UI 
when adjusting settings in Print Dialog.

WRITER: (1) new Style Inspector to display the attributes of Paragraph 
and Character Styles, and user formatted text; and (2) significant speed 
improvement of find/replace operations.

CALC: significant speed improvement of Autofilter and find/replace 
operations.

IMPRESS & DRAW: (1) possibility to change animations for several objects 
at once in Impress; (2) addition of "Pause/Resume" and "Exit"buttons to 
Presenter's Screen; (3) addition of realistic soft blurred shadows to 
objects; and (4) addition of new physics based animation capabilities.

LibreOffice – thanks to its mature codebase, rich feature set, support 
for open standards, excellent compatibility and long-term support 
options – represents the ideal solution for users that want to regain or 
keep control of their data and free themselves from vendor lock-in.

Migrations to LibreOffice

enterprises moving from proprietary office suites to LibreOffice, which 
is based on the deployment of a LTS version from the LibreOffice 
Enterprise family, plus migration consultancy and training sourced from
