Sure? LibreOffice 6.0 represents the bleeding edge in term of features for open source office suites, and as such is targeted at technology enthusiasts, early adopters and power users. For enterprise class deployments, TDF maintains the more mature 5.4 family – now at 5.4.4 – which should always be supported by certified professionals (a list is available here:https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/professional-support/). https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2018/01/31/libreoffice-6/ |

I read that too, and I am pretty sure, because most of our users do not
use complex macros and stuff that could easily break. It’s also supposed
to fix the disappearing image bug Annkathrin reported last year, and
forcing here to use Microsoft Office.

I plan to install it on Tuesday and send an announcement to the alluser list, so everybody has it on Wednesday. |

I wonder if CVE-2018-6871 is fixed in 6.0.1 (which we should install then instead of 6.0.0 ). [1] says "affect LibreOffice prior to 5.4.5/6.0.1" while [2] says ""LibreOffice through 6.0.1 allows remote attackers..." and I'd interpret "though" as "to and including." Libreoffice gerrit says, fix is merged [3]. [1] https://github.com/jollheef/libreoffice-remote-arbitrary-file-disclosure |
