Software Update: LibreOffice 6.4.1

The Document Foundation has released version 6.4.1 of LibreOffice. This open source office package originated as a fork of OpenOffice and comes with the word processor Writer, spreadsheet program Calc, presentation program Impress, drawing program Draw, database program Base and Formula, an application for making scientific notations.

In version 6.4 Among other things, we see performance improvements in Impress and Calc when opening and saving documents, and the compatibility of Microsoft Office documents has been further improved. The complete release notes are up this page to find. Version 6.4.1 had two release candidates, in which a total of eighty improvements were made.
