[tdf-announce] LibreOffice 7.3.1 Community available for download

Berlin, March 3, 2022 – LibreOffice 7.3.1 Community, the first minor 
release of the LibreOffice 7.3 family, targeted at technology 
enthusiasts and power users, is available for download from 
https://www.libreoffice.org/download/. This version provides a solution 
to several LibreOffice 7.3 bugs, including the Auto Calculate regression 
on Calc and the crashes related to the Skia graphic engine on macOS.

The LibreOffice 7.3 family offers the highest level of compatibility in 
the office suite market segment, starting with native support for the 
OpenDocument Format (ODF) – beating proprietary formats in the areas of 
security and robustness – to superior support for DOCX, XLSX and PPTX files.

Microsoft files are still based on the proprietary format deprecated by 
ISO in 2008, which is artificially complex, and not on the ISO approved 
standard. This lack of respect for the ISO standard format may create 
issues to LibreOffice, and is a huge obstacle for transparent 
interoperability.

LibreOffice for enterprise deployments

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.
