What's new in the latest release of the free LibreOffice suite
Above the Clouds
Anyone who fancies a look behind the scenes can read about the latest technical innovations in Michael Meeks' blog [3]. The developers have especially devoted themselves to the VCL Toolkit and the rendering mechanisms. The restructured code should also be good for the Android version [4], which has a common basis with the desktop version. Although the Android app currently only offers limited editing capabilities, improvements could appear in the coming months. Other plans for the future involve the cloud version – LibreOffice Online is now in the starting blocks [5].
