The Document Foundation non-profit organization has had the great pleasure of announcing the general availability of the LibreOffice 5.2 open-source and cross-platform office suite software.

LibreOffice 5.2 has been in development for the past four months, during which the development team behind one of the best free office suites have managed to implement dozens of new features and improvements to most of the application's components. Key features include more UI (User Interface) refinements to make it flexible for anyone, standards-based document classification, forecasting functions in Calc, the spreadsheet editor, as well as lots of Writer and Impress enhancements.

There are way to many changes in LibreOffice 5.2, so we'll try to cover here the ones that we think are the most important to you. Let's begin with the LibreOffice Writer component, which received a single toolbar mode, support for showing or hiding the track changes toolbar, a bunch of new drawing tools, namely Freeform Line, Polygon, Polygon (45°), and Filled Curve, support for displaying bookmark text, a selection filter UI in Cross Reference tab under Insert -> Fields -> More Fields, and a new Insert Bookmark dialog window.
