The ReferenceOOoMajorMinor version (used for Version checks when installing Extensions) has been updated to 4.1 to align with changes imported from AOO for LibreOffice 4.2.0
Mac version doesn't bundle the mediawiki extension
The distribution for Windows is an international build, so you can choose the user interface language that you prefer
Help content is available via an online service, or alternatively as a separate install
Our Windows binaries are digitally signed by The Document Foundation
For Windows users that have Apache OpenOffice installed, we advise uninstalling that beforehand. The two programs register the same file type associations and will conflict when the Quickstart feature is installed and enabled
If you run Linux, the GCJ Java variant has known issues with LibreOffice, we advise to e.g. use OpenJDK instead
Some menu entries have changed or added. If you miss something, that may be due to the use of customized menu settings from your previous LibreOffice installation
Saving to old and proprietary OOo/StarOffice fileformats has been removed (fdo#74979)
This version corrects the mispelling « turquise » for Table Style in Impress.
Document interoperability: support of OOXML Strict, OOXML graphics improvements (DrawingML, theme fonts, preservation of drawing styles and attributes), embedding OOXML files inside another OOXML file, support of 30 new Excel formulas, support of MS Works spreadsheets and databases, and Mac legacy file formats such as ClarisWorks, ClarisResolve, MacWorks, SuperPaint, and more.
Comment management: comments can now be printed in the document margin, formatted in a better way, and imported and exported – including nested comments – in ODF, DOC, OOXML and RTF documents, for improved productivity and better collaboration.
Intuitive spreadsheet handling: Calc now allows the performing of several tasks more intuitively, thanks to the smarter highlighting of formulas in cells, the display of the number of selected rows and columns in the status bar, the ability to start editing a cell with the content of the cell above it, and being able to fully select text conversion models by the user.
3D models in Impress: support of animated 3D models in the new open glTF format, plus initial support for Collada and kmz files that are found in Google Warehouse, in order to add a fresh new look and animations to keynotes (support of this feature is currently on Windows and Linux versions only).
LibreOffice 4.3 also supports “monster” paragraphs exceeding 65,000 characters (an example of an 11 years old bug solved thanks to the modernization of the OOo source code, which is an exclusive function of LibreOffice). In addition, the accessibility technology on Windows has become a standard feature, thanks to the improvements based on IBM’s IAccessible2 framework.
This is the third release from the 4.3 branch of LibreOffice which contains new features and program enhancements. As such, the version is stable and is suitable for all users. This version may contain a few annoying bugs which will be fixed in the next bugfix versions to come.
General notes on features and enhancements are contained in this release. For a detailed list, please check our complete release notes here.
The following notes apply:
This release is bit-identical to 4.3.2 Release Candidate 2 — you don't need to download or reinstall if you have that version already.
This version still contains a few annoying bugs, as listed here.
quickstarter on windows has been removed.
