An office suite optimised for the privacy-conscious office suite user
who wants full control over the information they share
Berlin, 27 September 2024 – LibreOffice 24.8.2, the second minor release
of the LibreOffice 24.8 family of the free, volunteer-supported office
suite for Windows (Intel, AMD and ARM), MacOS (Apple and Intel) and
Linux, is available at https://www.libreoffice.org/download.
The release includes over 80 bug and regression fixes over LibreOffice
24.8.1 [1] to improve the stability and robustness of the software, as
well as interoperability with legacy and proprietary document formats.
LibreOffice is the only office suite that respects the privacy of the
user – ensuring that the user is able to decide if and with whom to
share the content they create. As such, LibreOffice is the best option
for the privacy-conscious office suite user, and offers a feature set
comparable to the leading product on the market.
In addition, LibreOffice offers a range of interface options to suit
different user habits, from traditional to modern, and makes the most of
different screen sizes by optimising the space available on the desktop
to put the maximum number of features just a click or two away.
The biggest advantage over competing products is the LibreOffice
Technology Engine, the single software platform on which desktop, mobile
and cloud versions of LibreOffice – including those from ecosystem
companies – are based.
This allows LibreOffice to produce identical and fully interoperable
documents based on the two ISO standards: the Open Document Format (ODT,
ODS, ODP) and the proprietary Microsoft OOXML (DOCX, XLSX, PPTX). The
latter hides a great deal of artificial complexity, which can cause
problems for users who are confident that they are using a true open
standard.
End users looking for support can download the LibreOffice 24.8 Getting
Started Guide from the following link: https://books.libreoffice.org/.
In addition, they will be able to get first-level technical support from
volunteers on the user mailing lists and the Ask LibreOffice website:
https://ask.libreoffice.org.
LibreOffice for Enterprise
For enterprise-class deployments, TDF strongly recommends the
LibreOffice Enterprise family of applications from ecosystem partners
with dedicated value-added features and SLAs:
https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-in-business/.
Every line of code developed by ecosystem companies for enterprise
customers is shared with the community on the master code repository and
improves the LibreOffice Technology platform. Products based on
LibreOffice Technology are available for all major desktop operating
systems (Windows, macOS, Linux and ChromeOS), mobile platforms (Android
and iOS) and the cloud.
The Document Foundation's migration protocol helps companies move from
proprietary office suites to LibreOffice, by installing the LTS
(long-term support) enterprise-optimised version of LibreOffice, plus
consulting and training provided by certified professionals:

In fact, LibreOffice's mature code base, rich feature set, strong
support for open standards, excellent compatibility and LTS options make
it the ideal solution for organisations looking to regain control of
their data and break free from vendor lock-in.
LibreOffice 24.8.2 availability
LibreOffice 24.8.2 is available from
https://www.libreoffice.org/download/. Minimum requirements for
proprietary operating systems are Microsoft Windows 7 SP1 (no longer
supported by Microsoft) and Apple MacOS 10.15. Products based on
LibreOffice technology for Android and iOS are listed at
