The third major instalment in the LibreOffice 6 series, LibreOffice 6.3 is coming this summer with another layer of performance improvements, as well as cool new features and enhancements. Development on LibreOffice 6.3 kicked off last November, and the first beta version is now ready for public testing for Linux, macOS, and Windows. Apart from the all the improvements and new features, LibreOffice 6.3 comes with an important change for Linux users, namely the removal of support for 32-bit GNU/Linux distributions. What this means is that there won’t be 32-bit binaries of LibreOffice 6.3 available for download, but only 64-bit binaries for 64-bit Linux distros.
