著名的开源办公软件Libreoffice 发布新版本，Libreoffice 是开源软件 Openoffice 的分支，原属于升阳公司，升阳被甲骨文收购以后，开源办公软件OpenOffice上的决策上与社区产生了冲突。导致开发者出走成立了The Document Foundation，创建了分支LibreOffice。Libreoffice可以在Windows、Linux、Macintosh平台上运行，本 套软件共有六个应用程序供您使用，包括：Writer、Calc、Impress、Draw、Math、Base。
与其他商业软件不同，本套软件采用LGPL3授权，这种授权方式赋予了一般用户拥有使用，分享，散布本套软件的权利。
最先版本 4.0.3的变化：
这是 4.0 版本的第四个版本。它包含了许多令人振奋的新功能，适用于企业的早期采用者和个人用户。
This release is bit-for-bit identical to the 4.0.3 Release Candidate 3, so you don’t need to download or reinstall if you have that version already.The distribution for Windows is an international build, so you can choose the user interface language that you prefer. Help content is available via an online service, or alternatively as a separate install.Our Windows binaries are digitally signed by The Document Foundation.For Windows users that have OpenOffice.org installed, we advise uninstalling that beforehand, because it registers the same file type associations.If you run Linux, the GCJ Java variant has known issues with LibreOffice, we advise to e.g. use OpenJDK instead.LibreOffice 4.x drops a few long-deprecated features, including support for legacy binary StarOffice files, export to legacy Word and Excel (version 6.0/95), and legacy ODMA document management.Some menu entries have changed or added. If you miss something, that may be due to the use of customised menu settings from your previous LibreOffice installation.This version still contains a few annoying bugs, as listed here. Specifically, the German Duden Korrektor extension needs a manual fix.安装 Libreoffice 4.0.3 打开终端，输入命令（适用于 ubuntu 13.04/12.10/12.04用户）
