It was forked from Open. Office. org in 2. Star. Office. The Libre. Office suite comprises programs for word processing, the creation and editing of spreadsheets, slideshows, diagrams and drawings, working with databases, and composing mathematical formulae. It is available in 1. Libre. Office uses the international ISO/IEC standard Open. Document file format as its native format to save documents for all of its applications (as do its Open.
Office. org cousins Apache Open. Office and Neo. Office). The Open. Document file format is now also supported by all major competing office suite applications (proprietary and open source). Libre. Office is also compatible with other major office suites, including Microsoft Office,[8] through a variety of import/export filters. The file formats of Microsoft Office are well supported, though some layout features and formatting attributes are handled differently in the application or are not entirely supported in the filters.[9]Libre.
Office is available for a variety of computing platforms,[4] including Microsoft Windows, OS X (1. Linux (including a Libre. Office Viewer for Android[1. It is the default office suite of most popular Linux distributions.[1. Between January 2.

Point. Presentations can be exported as SWF files, allowing them to be viewed on any computer with Adobe Flash Player installed.[8][1. Draw. A vector graphics editor and diagramming tool similar to Microsoft Visio and comparable in features to early versions of Corel. DRAW. It provides connectors between shapes, which are available in a range of line styles and facilitate building drawings such as flowcharts. It also includes features similar to desktop publishing software such as Scribus and Microsoft Publisher.[1.
Math. An application designed for creating and editing mathematical formulae. The application uses a variant of XML for creating formulas, as defined in the Open.
Document specification. These formulas can be incorporated into other documents in the Libre. Office suite, such as those created by Writer or Calc, by embedding the formulas into the document.[2. Base. A database management program, similar to Microsoft Access. Libre. Office Base allows the creation and management of databases, preparation of forms and reports that provide end users easy access to data.
Like Access, it can be used to create small embedded databases that are stored with the document files (using Java- based HSQLDB as its storage engine), and for more demanding tasks it can also be used as a front- end for various database systems, including Access databases (JET), ODBC/JDBC data sources, and My. SQL, Maria. DB, Postgre.
SQL or Microsoft Access.[8][2. Work is ongoing to transition the embedded storage engine from HSQLDB to the C++ based Firebird SQL backend.

Office can use the GStreamer multimedia framework in Linux to render multimedia content such as videos in Impress and other programs. Visually, Libre. Office uses the large "Tango style" icons that are used for the application shortcuts, quick launch icons, icons for associated files and for the icons found on the toolbar of the Libre.
Office programs.[5. They are also used on the toolbars and menus by default.
Libre. Office also ships with a modified theme which looks native on GTK- based Linux distributions. It also renders fonts via Cairo on Linux distributions; this means that text in Libre. Office is rendered the same as the rest of the Linux desktop.[5. Libre. Office has a feature similar to Word. Art called Fontwork.[5.
Licensing[edit]The Libre. Office project uses a dual LGPLv. MPL 2. 0 license for new contributions to allow the license to be upgraded.[5.
Since the core of the Open. Office. org codebase was donated to the Apache Software Foundation, there is an ongoing effort to get all the code rebased to ease future license updates. At the same time, there were complaints that IBM had not in fact released the Lotus Symphony code as open source, despite having claimed to. It was reported that some Libre. Office developers wanted to incorporate some code parts and bug fixes which IBM already fixed in their Open.
Office fork.[5. 8]Scripting and extensions[edit]Libre. Office supports third- party extensions.[5. As of April 2. 01. Libre. Office Extension Repository lists more than 2. Another list is maintained by the Apache Software Foundation[6. Free Software Foundation.[6.
Extensions and scripts for Libre. Office can be written in C++, Java, CLI, Python, and Libre. Office Basic. Interpreters for the latter two are bundled with most Libre. Office installers, so no additional installation is needed.
The application programming interface for Libre. Office is called "UNO" and is extensively documented.[6. Libre. Office Basic[edit]Libre. Office Basic is a programming language similar to Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) but based on Star. Office Basic. It is available in Writer, Calc and Base. It is used to write small programs known as "macros", with each macro performing a different task, such as counting the words in a paragraph.[6. History[edit]. A timeline of major derivatives of Star.
Office and Open. Office. Libre. Office in greenooo- build, Go- oo and Oracle[edit]Members of the Open. Office. org community who were not Sun Microsystems employees had wanted a more egalitarian form for the Open. Office. org project for many years; Sun had stated in the original Open. Office. org announcement in 2.
Ximian and then Novell had maintained the ooo- build patch set, a project led by Michael Meeks, to make the build easier on Linux and due to the difficulty of getting contributions accepted upstream by Sun, even from corporate partners. It tracked the main line of development and was not intended to constitute a fork.[6. It was also the standard build mechanism for Open. Office. org in most Linux distributions[6. In 2. 00. 7, ooo- build was made available by Novell as a software package called Go- oo (ooo- build had used the go- oo. Open. Office. org.
Go- oo also encouraged outside contributions, with rules similar to those later adopted for Libre. Office.[7. 1]Sun's contributions to Open. Office. org had been declining for some time,[7. Sun releasing Open.
Office. org code to IBM for IBM Lotus Symphony under a proprietary contract, rather than under an open source licence.[7. Sun was purchased by Oracle Corporation in early 2. Open. Office. org community members were concerned at Oracle's behaviour towards open source software,[7. Java lawsuit against Google[7.
Oracle's withdrawal of developers[7. Open. Office. org, as had been noted by industry observers[7. Meeks put it in early September 2. The news from the Oracle Open. Office conference was that there was no news."[7. Discussion of a fork started soon after.[8.
The Document Foundation and Libre. Office[edit]On 2.
September 2. 01. 0, The Document Foundation was announced as the host of Libre. Office, a new derivative of Open. Office. org. The Document Foundation's initial announcement stated their concerns that Oracle would either discontinue Open. Office. org, or place restrictions on it as an open source project, as it had on Sun's Open. Solaris.[8. 1][8. Libre. Office 3. 3 beta used the ooo- build build infrastructure and the Open. Office. org 3. 3 beta code from Oracle, then adding selected patches from Go- oo.[8.
Go- oo was discontinued in favour of Libre. Office. Since the office suite that was branded "Open. Office. org" in most Linux distributions was in fact Go- oo, most moved immediately to Libre.
Office.[8. 6]Oracle was invited to become a member of The Document Foundation. However, Oracle demanded that all members of the Open. Office. org Community Council involved with The Document Foundation step down from the OOo Community Council, claiming a conflict of interest.[8. The name "Libre. Office" was picked after researching trademark databases, social media and if it could be used for URLs in various countries.[8.
It was originally hoped that the Libre. Office name would be provisional, as Oracle was invited to become a member of The Document Foundation. However, Oracle rejected requests to donate the Open. Office. org brand to the project.[8. Libre. Office was initially named Br.

Office Centre of Excellence for Free Software because of a trademark issue.[9. End of Open. Office. Apache Open. Office[edit]Oracle announced in April 2. Open. Office. org and would lay off the majority of its paid developers.[9.
In June 2. 01. 1, Oracle announced[9. Open. Office. org code and trademark to the Apache Software Foundation, where the project was accepted for a project incubation process within the foundation, thus becoming Apache Open. Office. In an interview with LWN, Ubuntu founder Mark Shuttleworth in 2. The Document Foundation for destroying Open. Office. org because it did not license code under Oracle's Contributor License Agreement.[9. But former Sun executive Simon Phipps denies this is the case: The act of creating The Document Foundation and its Libre.
Office project did no demonstrable harm to Oracle's business. There is no new commercial competition to Oracle Open Office (their commercial edition of OO.
Libre. Office. No contributions that Oracle valued were ended by its creation. Oracle's ability to continue development of the code was in no way impaired.
Oracle's decision appears to be simply that, after a year of evaluation, the profit to be made from developing Oracle Open Office and Oracle Cloud Office did not justify the salaries of over 1. Suggesting that TDF was in some way to blame for a hard- headed business decision that seemed inevitable from the day Oracle's acquisition of Sun was announced is at best disingenuous.[9. In March 2. 01. 5, an LWN. Libre. Office with its cousin project Apache Open.
