Software Update: LibreOffice 7.3.3

The Document Foundation has released version 7.3.3 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.

Version 7.3 makes it possible, among other things, to link hyperlinks to shapes and the changes that have been made are better tracked. We can also expect performance improvements and the usual improvements related to the import and export of Microsoft Office files. Version 7.3.3 is also a bugfix release and had two release candidates, in which a total of 88 improvements have been made.
