Software Update: LibreOffice 6.0.6

The Document Foundation has released the sixth update to version 6.0 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 6.0, among other things, the ability to digitally sign documents with OpenPGP has been added, the still experimental ribbon interface has been further improved and writer has been given a menu for designing forms.
