The Document Foundation is working to bring LibreOffice 7.0 to our PCs and laptops. This new major release will be available in the coming months, precisely in August according to the roadmap, and will include important innovations and under-the-hood improvements. The Foundation wiki already has a page dedicated to the release notes of LibreOffice 7.0 so we can make a summary of the known news.
In the first instance, we must report our farewell to Adobe Flash. Being one of the most popular productivity suites around, LibreOffice also supports the export of content, such as presentations and drawings, to Adobe Flash. In other words, it allows you to create content that can then be used for a wide variety of purposes. The problem with Flash is that Adobe itself plans to pick it up later this year, so the whole world is (finally) leaving it behind. Most companies in the hi-tech sector have worked to remove Flash code from their applications, including Google and Microsoft.
LibreOffice 7.0
The suite will then present news for all the apps that make it up. Writer will have the first implementation of padded numbering already present in Office Word. Calc will have two new functions (RAND.NV () and RANDBETWEEN.NV ()) for the generation of random numbers, better management of case-insensitivity, and greater speed in opening XLSX files.
Impress & Draw will see the return of Subscriptions to 8% as well as an improvement in performance in certain situations (e.g. table editing).
The toolbars will be locked by default on Fresh profiles. Removed support for CPython 2.7, the scripts are now run in CPython 3.0. LibreOffice Help will see the introduction of some diagrams in the help pages.
These are just some of the new features revealed to date, I will keep you updated in the coming months on the developments of LO 7.0
