LibreOffice 25.2.5, the new major release of the free, volunteer-supported office suite for Windows (Intel, AMD, and ARM), macOS (Apple Silicon, and Intel), and Linux, is available at https://www.libreoffice.org/download.
LibreOffice is the best office suite for users who want to maintain control over their individual software and documents, thereby protecting their privacy and digital lives from commercial interference and Big Tech's lock-in strategies.
LibreOffice is the only office suite designed to meet the user's real needs – not just their eyes.
It offers a range of interface options to suit different user habits, from traditional to modern, and makes the most of different screen sizes, optimizing the available space to place the maximum number of functions just one or two clicks away.
It is also the only software for creating documents (which may contain personal or confidential information) that respects the user's privacy, ensuring that the user can decide whether and with whom to share the content they create, thanks to the standardized and open format, and with periodic software updates.
All this with a feature set that is comparable to the leading software on the market and far superior to that of any competitor.
What makes LibreOffice unique is the LibreOffice Technology Platform, the only one on the market that allows for the consistent development of desktop, mobile and cloud versions – including those provided by ecosystem companies – capable of producing identical and fully interoperable documents based on the two available ISO standards:
The open ODF or Open Document Format (ODT, ODS and ODP) and Microsoft's proprietary OOXML (DOCX, XLSX and PPTX). The latter hides a huge number of artificial (and unnecessary) complex locking techniques that create problems for users.
End users can receive first-level technical support from volunteers on user mailing lists and the website

Although the press releases will range from very select to rare, I said I'd pass...because sometimes the editors hide.
Although it's trivial, I would like the help of anyone RESPONSIBLE who could inform me on the following:
I work in a small public service. As in universities, “pirate reading” dominates. The transition to libreoffice is almost complete. The big problem is the abandonment of the office outlook environment (2007 & 2019) for a new application. The first thought of thunderbird for accounts that exceed even 30 or 60 GB locally seems troublesome in the event that 365 licenses are made available in the future with the need for difficult to impossible conversions to these sizes.
So the solution of the new outlook app for windows is being considered. The familiar environment makes us swallow the ads and the other known bad things.
THE QUESTION IS: how much LOCAL capacity can the account reach, as in the Public Connection the accounts are POP type and all the history is kept only on the user's PC. Does it reach 100GB like in the classic Outlook of the office? Somewhere it caught my eye and I was scared by the question of how long it will keep history. The longest is 180 days. So we will cry over the older ones?
Thank you very much to anyone who answers responsibly. Answers like "address the IT manager of your department" are out of the realm of Greek government reality.
