    LibreOffice 5.2 released
    The LibreOffice 5.2 release is out. "LibreOffice 5.2 provides document classification according to the TSCP standard, and a set of improved forecasting functions in Calc. In addition, multiple signature descriptions are now supported, along with import and export of signatures from OOXML files. Interoperability features have also been improved, with better Writer import filters for DOCX and RTF files, and the added support for Word for DOS legacy documents." There's a lot more; see the release notes [PDF] for an illustrated list.

    Some news from LWN
    It has been some time since our last update on the state of LWN itself.
    That's somewhat by design, as we'd rather be writing about the community
    and the code than ourselves. Occasionally, though, we do like to update
    our readers and subscribers on the state of the operation, especially when
    there is some news to report, as is the case now.
