just released the first stable version of LibreOffice , an open source office suite developed on the beta version of OpenOffice 3.3 . At the same time, has also freed the final version of OpenOffice 3.3, which now have two versions about the same in a suite with a different name. What is happening?.
The network is boiling since Oracle acquired earlier this year Sun Microsystems, the company responsible for the development of OpenOffice. Given an unclear policy on future intentions Oracle suite (and it seems it was also the natural way), a handful of developers of OpenOffice Document founded the Foundation destined to continue the development of this new suite Name: LibreOffice. After some months of quite moving, on 25 January 2011 launched the first stable version. Soon, he also appeared a new version of OpenOffice.
So now what?.
Well, it seems that for now we can work seamlessly with any of the two versions since the differences are quite small. On the forums that the real differences between the two suites will be really significant in about two years.
The free software world seems to have taken sides LibreOffice decidedly (how could it be otherwise), and even Ubuntu announced that its next distribution (11.04) LibreOffice and do not include OpenOffice.
course for me I installed the new suite and certainly no big news. No, it might be slightly faster ... ;-)
