The LibreOffice Community has released the new major security update 24.8.2 of the free, volunteer-supported office suite and the first to use the new calendar-based (YY.M) numbering scheme.
The new version can be found at https://www.libreoffice.org/download for Windows (Intel, AMD and ARM), macOS (Apple and Intel) and Linux.
The new numbering scheme will help users keep their LibreOffice installation up to date.
LibreOffice is the only open source productivity office suite with a feature set comparable to the top product on the market.
It also offers a range of UI options to suit different user habits, from traditional to modern, and makes the most of different screen form factors, optimizing available desktop space to get the most functionality in a click or two.
LibreOffice's biggest advantage over any other office suite is the LibreOffice Technology engine, a single software platform for all environments: desktop, cloud and mobile.
This infrastructure allows LibreOffice to offer a better user experience and more importantly, to produce identical – and fully interoperable – documents based on the two available ISO standards: the Open Document Format (ODT, ODS and ODP) for users interested for compatibility, durability and digital mastery even in proprietary Microsoft OOXML files (DOCX, XLSX and PPTX).
