LibreOffice 7.0 has long offered an Adobe Flash export filter, back to the days of it being Macromedia Flash. The focus on this export filter has been for allowing LibreOffice presentations and drawings to be in Flash format.

The support was dropped on Thursday and in the process lightened up this open-source office suite by nearly six thousand lines of code.

That should have happened years ago. Flash was one of the biggest security holes.
