The Document Foundation has just released the second Release Candidate for the LibreOffice 5.0.1 branch and the developers have fixed quite a few issues that have been spotted by the community.
Now that LibreOffice 5.0 is out the door, it's time for developers to quickly close all the bugs that have been identified by the users. As you can imagine, a big leap like the one from 4.x to 5.x will be followed by a swath of reports. The good thing about LibreOffice is that it's an open source project and anyone can report the issues. If enough users mark the same problem, it will be repaired as soon as possible.
What many users don't understand is that the developers for Libreoffice are not hired and they are doing this work on their own time. So, if you report a problem that doesn't get fixed in time or it's not noticed, don't be upset. The Document Foundation is not making any money off this and they are providing one of the best office suites around.
