Just over a month after v6.2.3 release, The Document Foundation has announced the launch of LibreOffice 6.2.4. It is a new maintenance version of the 6.2 series, the fourth, and as such does not include notable news beyond correcting errors. In total, if we pay attention to the informative note From the release of its first RC, LibreOffice v6.2.4 fixes 106 bugs.
As in every release, a spokesperson for The Document Foundation, in this case Italo Vignoli, reminds us that the new version is the one that includes the most news, but not recommended for corporate work teams for not being as polished as an older version. The recommended one if the work that we are going to carry out with LibreOffice needs greater reliability is LibreOffice 6.1.6, with fewer functions but more polished than the one launched a few hours ago.
