New features and improvements coming to #LibreOffice 24.8, our next major release, due in August! 😊 For Writer (our word processor), Calc (spreadsheet), Impress (presentations) and Draw (diagrams and layout). More details at wiki.documentfoundation.org/Re… #foss #opensource #news
What I'm really asking is, "should I install 24.2 as a user or stay with 7.6." FYI: I like to experiment and mess around with new features I discover in Writer/Calc.
@TopKnot The difference is that LibreOffice 24.2 is newer and has all of these extra features: youtube.com/watch?v=rs9pMn4cff… – So yes, we recommend it 😊
A look at some of the new features in LibreOffice 24.2, created by our community of volunteers and certified developers.Learn more: https://wiki.documentfoun...
Unpopular / controversial opinion: Everybody and their dog is integrating AI features into their software. Are there some ideas for LO in that direction? Like connecting to AIs running locally or on other computers?
Some meaningful features (IMHO): - Summarizing documents. - Rewriting marked text (e.g. in easy language). - Finding mistakes and suggesting corrections. - Help assistant: How do I ... ; In column C, I want to ... - Unobtrusive help suggestions (Clippy, but in good.)
Thank you for the info. The extension looks interesting, bit I want to keep my data on my local machines and not feed them to OpenAI (or any other cloud AI provider). Perhaps an interface can be made with different implementation for different AIs.
