Software Update: LibreOffice 7.3.6

Although version 7.4 was released some time ago, the Document Foundation has released version 7.3.6 of LibreOffice. This open source office suite was created as a spin-off 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 creating 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 importing and exporting Microsoft Office files. Version 7.3.6 is also a bug fix release and had two release candidates, in which a total of fifty improvements were made.
