It looks like [v7.0](https://peertube.opencloud.lu/videos/watch/996ca726-5769-4690-bd75-eee87fc24f07) is out finally, lots of [changes.](https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2020/08/05/announcement-of-libreoffice-7-0/) ---

Coincidentally my SparkyLinux MATE VM is getting updated now, & when i checked i see it includes 7.0.0-rc2-1… so it’s slightly behind. ---

> [@anon379864](#): > > 7.0.0-rc2-1 Still sitting on 6.4.5.2 on EOS, but in all honesty there’s nothing feature-wise that I’m going to use in 7.0 that isn’t already in the 6.4.\* branch. The one thing that I’m looking forward to verifying is if font rendering improves with the new engine. ---

Interesting, I thought they’d removed the tags (“Personal Edition” etc) following the furore over naming conventions. ---

Maybe that’s a new thing now? On the older version there is no such mention: ![capture-200805-165205](https://forum.endeavouros.com/uploads/default/original/2X/6/63b506581cedb3d50b7c372f7062ec7e1546353a.png) ---

Possibly down to it being an rc that you’re looking at rather than the final release (7.0.0.3)? ---

Yes i suspect this too – i was careful to include [earlier post] that rc suffix so we would not have ambiguity. ---

Yes, afaik that was the whole point of their decision to brand “our” variant as Personal Edition, to shame companies who also run it sans fee. But OMZ did it kick off a helluva online storm! ---

As long as LibreOffice remains libre (free as in freedom), I don’t mind the label “Personal Edition”. Now, if they are going to include proprietary features in their “Enterprise Edition”, that will indubitably lead to intentional crippling of the “Personal Edition” and then I’ll have a problem with it. ---
