6.0.0~alpha1



Joke aside, but only 6.0.0.3 is marked stable... 3 months 3 points since first alpha or when you see alpha you can expect release in about 3 months or so.

Or you could wait for the stable channel to be updated for 6.0. The .0.0 releases tend to have some bugs. I personally wait a few months before upgrading, so I can avoid them.

If nothing, alphas and betas have even more ... as usual how time flies, it have less and less bugs.

my two major gripes still not fixed:
using spreadsheet, search searches the whole sheet not the selected cells and cant open spreadsheets with 100,000 rows without crashing.

I am not sure if it is only me or others see the same issues. On macOS 10.13.2 libreoffice 6.0 enters into a constant crash recover crash again loop. I shouldn't have upgraded...

Same here, but on 10.12.6.

Both Microsoft Excel and Libreoffice have a row limit of 1,048,576 (2²⁰);
Did you mean the number of columns? (1,024 limit in LibreOffice)

I just created/saved and loaded a spreadsheet (Using version 5.4) with 200,000 rows of formulas, with no problems other than it taking 8 seconds to load the document.

If the document is crashing, you might want to consider sharing it with the libreoffice devs (or create a sanitized version for them) so that they can fix it.

Never saw the document, so I guess there is nothing needed to be fix.

Perhaps, but its just true. But then again who the heck puts 100k rows in a spreadsheet.
