Nice. Seems like it includes lots of improvements for OOXML compatibility.

Since moving to Ubuntu from Mac, I use LibreOffice daily for loading large XLS documents from clients. I might have to drop to a VM with Excel maybe 1-2% of the time, but the rest of the time LibreOffice is amazing. Thank you to the LibreOffice team for their continued efforts towards Office compatibility.

I find LO to be very buggy and unintuitive in its UI. Equations are a pain, it forgets styling options, etc..

But as a user who uses it completely independently of MS Office, just for my documents, the peace of mind I have knowing I am using a powerful multiplatform open source software which won't betray me is priceless.

I know my documents are safe and I can move between OSes at my will. This kind of freedom is essential for me and I am grateful for that

Is it working again under Windows 10? I had to pin LO to 7.1.5 because of Skia.

I wanted to work on fixing Writer's custom fields UI, it's horrendous and it could be very useful.

Well... MS Office is equally buggy...

I don't even bother to try it out... Let me guess: It still sucks under macOS

Ok... UI (icons) still looks blurry for me.
