   #LibreOffice 24.2 will be our next major update, coming in February! 🎉 (New versioning scheme, to show the year and month when it's released.) A big new feature is styles for comments, added by Maxim Monastirsky: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/24.2#Writer #foss #OpenSource

     @libreoffice great feature! please make sure that it looks as flashy as it can in default settings, for example padding around text, use colors that look good together and so on, it makes a huge difference! thanks to the dev in advance

     @daCaPo We will showcase many new features before the release in February, one at a time 😊

     @libreoffice You should also feature the “highlight current row and column” function just added to the current alpha - awesome when dealing with huge tables! https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33201

     @libreoffice I just found out about the new version numbering being YY/M. It will make it easier to know how old your installed release is, and decide whether it's a good moment to update. 👍

     @Schimmelreiter Just like now, one number will be bigger than the other. LibreOffice 7.6 is newer than LibreOffice 7.5, and LibreOffice 24.8 will be newer than LibreOffice 24.2.

     @libreoffice At the moment you seem to support 2 versions, one which is the latest, and another older one which will get security updates. How will you distinguish the 2 versions if you go to the year/month numbering? Or will there only be one version in future?

     @Schimmelreiter Ah right – yes, when we release LibreOffice 24.2 in February, LibreOffice 7.6 will be the older maintained branch. So there'll be a bit of overlap where both version numbers are used.

     @libreoffice Sorry but you have misunderstood my question. At the moment the download page lists version 7.6.3 and 7.5.8. If my memory serves me right, when you issue an update for the newer version, there is also a (security) one for the older. So if do the next update presumably you will call both 24.2? Or will it be 24.2 plus 7.6.4 (which then becomes old stable)?

     @TritTriton @Schimmelreiter Yes! Nothing will change in the release engineering and schedule – just that the version numbers now say something about when the software was released, to add some context.

     @libreoffice @Schimmelreiter I guess it will actually be 24.2.0 for the major update release, then 24.2.1, 24.2.2… every 6 weeks for security and minor updates as it is until now.
