I apologize if this has been brought up before, but what is the status of LibreOffice?
It would be nice to have an all inclusive software suite that is compatible with the main stream office software.
Any thoughts?

The answer you are looking for can be found right in another thread, here on the main page:

Thanks!
It would be nice for an elaboration. Like:
Writer - XX% complete - Fonts are working, Style is working, Formatting is working, Dictionary is having issues identifying misspellings
Calc - XX% complete -
and so on, and so on.

The fact that there is a "beta" team suggests that its feature complete, and that they are ironing out bugs . Thats what "Beta" means .

Meanwhile OS3.1+ needs to wait for Final Office.

Or they have a different definition of feature complete. Maybe it is unusable, but all the LibreOffice code is compiled in.

Does anyone know of a status for this project? It would be nice to have a good and modern word processor for AmigaOS. I'm hoping for news or even a release at AmiWest this year.

Those of us who know have signed NDAs and therefore can't say.

I stared this thread in October 2017....any new vague, non-value added, too scared to talk updates on this project?

Just for historical interest, it was mentioned in 2010 under a different name:
the AmigaOS looks terrific, and ports of FireFox and OpenOffice are close to bearing fruit.

At Amiwest 2016, Trevor said betatesting was about to start. Another annuncement, a few months later, said that betatesting had now started - (IIRC) a screenshot was released aswell.
It wasn't mentioned at all during Trevor's Amiwest 2017 presentation.

I have both LibreOffice and OpenOffice on a different platform than Amiga. Both are good. OpenOffice has things I use that aren't in LibreOffice.

Well, maybe something will be mentioned about the status of the LibreOffice project at AmiWest this year.
I searched around and did find a good word processor for AmigaOS. I found Abiword. It runs under AmiCygnix. It's slow on my laptop, but it would probably work better if I had a faster laptop as my AOS4.1fe is emulated. I have a copy of AmigaWriter 2.2, but it doesn't correctly import RTF files. So I may use Abiword until a native solution is available.

I'm watching the live stream from AmiWest. Thanks to Trevor for answering the question. In short: technical problems encountered in LibreOffice that have been overcome. Projected first part of next year.
