It comes with several significant new features, support for OpenDocument Format (ODF) 1.3, Skia graphics engine and <a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/vulkan\">Vulkan<\/a> GPU-based acceleration for better performance, and improved compatibility with DOCX, XLSX and PPTX files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LibreOffice is a multi-language, cross-platform, and free and open-source office suite software. It is a project of The Document Foundation and was forked from OpenOffice.org in 2010, in turn, which was an open-sourced version of the earlier StarOffice. It consists of a word processor, spreadsheets editor, slideshows program, diagrams and drawings package, databases tool, and composing mathematical formulae program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The highlights of this new LibreOffice 7.0 release are the implementation of the Skia graphics engine and Vulkan GPU-based acceleration thanks to sponsorship by AMD, and is now the default on Windows, for faster performance. Skia is an open-source <a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/2d\">2D<\/a> graphics <a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/libraries\">library<\/a> that provides common APIs that work across a variety of hardware and software platforms and can be used for drawing text, shapes, and images. Vulkan is a new-generation graphics and compute API with high-efficiency and cross-platform access to modern <a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/gpu\">GPUs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is now better compatibility with DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX files with files now saving in native 2013\/2016\/2019 mode, instead of 2007 compatibility mode. This improves interoperability with multiple versions of MS Office, based on the same Microsoft approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is now possible to export to XLSX files with sheet names longer than 31 characters along with exporting checkboxes in XLSX. There are also improvements to the PPTX import\/export filter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OpenDocument, LibreOffice&#8217;s native open and standardized format for office documents, has recently been updated to version 1.3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For these and more details about the new LibreOffice 7.0 release please visit the official release notes found <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.documentfoundation.org\/ReleaseNotes\/7.0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.
