LibreOffice documentation updates! Our Czech localisation community has finished translating the Impress Guide 7.5, covering the presentation component of the suite: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/01/05/czech-translation-of-libreoffice-impress-guide-7-5/ #foss #OpenSource

@jeffcliff No, that's not the current version. The current version of LibreOffice is 7.6. As the post to which you're replying already says, from the next major release (in February) we're moving to a "year.month" version scheme – like many other projects use – to make it clear to users how old/new their software is.

LibreOffice can open files in a wide range of formats – but its native one is the Open Document Format (ODF). And now there's an update to the ODF Toolkit, a set of Java modules for programmatic creation, scanning and manipulation of ODF files: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/01/04/announcing-the-odf-toolkit-0-12-0-release/ #libreoffice #standards #foss #OpenSource

LibreOffice's documentation is made by a worldwide community – and now, that community has an improved editor, to make their work simpler! https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/01/03/libreoffice-help-files-have-now-a-much-better-content-editor/ #foss #opensource

2024 is here! But let's have a quick recap of #LibreOffice project and community updates in December 2023: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/01/02/libreoffice-project-and-community-recap-december-2023/ #foss #OpenSource

@wood5y Great – thanks for spreading the word! 😊

As we wrap up 2023, we'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone who contributed to #LibreOffice in the last year! We really appreciate your support 😊 https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2023/12/31/thanks-to-everyone-who-contributed-to-libreoffice-in-2023-%f0%9f%98%8a/ #foss #OpenSource

@ToNo Hi! There will be no 24.12 release. We're sticking with the same schedule, every 12 months – so 24.2, 24.8, 25.2, 25.8 and so forth.

@iuvi Hi, if you think you've discovered a bug in LibreOffice, our QA community would appreciate a quick bug report at https://bugs.documentfoundation.org – Please provide details about your setup (LibreOffice version, operating system, steps to reproduce, and screenshot if relevant). Thanks!

Our next major release will be #LibreOffice 24.2 (with new "year.month" version scheme), in February. And it has usability improvements, thanks to our community! For instance, a new search field in the Functions sidebar deck in Calc, from Rafael Lima: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/24.2#Calc

@Tejas Hi! Please report all bugs to our QA community at https://bugs.documentfoundation.org – thanks!

@jose_relland Not sure what you mean, sorry – I don't see any "Search commands" in those release notes!

LibreOffice is available in a huge number of languages, thanks to communities around the world! Check out the recent Localization Sprint 2023 in Nepal: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2023/12/22/recap-of-libreoffice-localization-sprint-2023-in-nepal/ #libreoffice #foss #OpenSource
