thanks to the high number of new contributors having been attracted into the project, the source code is undergoing a major clean-up to provide a better foundation for future development of LibreOffice.the developer community has been able to build its own and independent process, and get up and running in a very short time (with respect to the size of the code base and the project's strong ambitions).Since the fork was announced at the end of September the number of developers 'hacking' LibreOffice has gone from fewer than twenty to well over one hundred, allowing the Document Foundation to make its first release ahead of schedule.Īccording to its press release: Not only does it ship a number of new and original features, LibreOffice 3.3 is also a significant achievement for a number of reasons: Only four months after the formation of the Document Foundation by leading members of the community, it has launched LibreOffice 3.3, the first stable release of its alternative Open Source personal productivity suite for Windows, Macintosh and Linux. Has the political difference with Oracle translated into something that users will see? LibreOffice 3.3 is released after only four months of splitting from OpenOffice.
