[tdf-announce] LibreOffice 24.2.7 is now available – the last release in the 24.2 branch

Berlin, 31 October 2024 – LibreOffice 24.2.7, the seventh and final 
planned minor update to the LibreOffice 24.2 branch, is available on our 
download page for Windows, macOS and Linux: 
https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

The release includes over 50 bug and regression fixes over LibreOffice 
24.2.6 [1] to improve the stability and robustness of the software, as 
well as interoperability with legacy and proprietary document formats. 
LibreOffice 24.2.7 is aimed at mainstream users and enterprise 
production environments.

LibreOffice is the only office suite with a feature set comparable to 
the market leader, and offers a range of user interface options to suit 
all users, from traditional to modern Microsoft Office-style. The UI has 
been developed to make the most of different screen form factors by 
optimizing the space available on the desktop to put the maximum number 
of features just a click or two away.


LibreOffice for Enterprises

For enterprise-class deployments, TDF strongly recommends the 
LibreOffice Enterprise family of applications from ecosystem partners – 
for desktop, mobile and cloud – with a range of dedicated value-added 
features, long term support and other benefits such as SLAs:

Every line of code developed by ecosystem companies for enterprise 
customers is shared with the community on the master code repository and 
contributes to the improvement of the LibreOffice Technology platform.


Availability of LibreOffice 24.2.7

LibreOffice 24.2.7 is available from 
https://www.libreoffice.org/download/. Minimum requirements for 
proprietary operating systems are Windows 7 SP1 and macOS 10.15. 
Products based on LibreOffice Technology for Android and iOS are listed

This is planned to be the last minor update to the LibreOffice 24.2 
branch, which reaches end-of-life in November. All users are then 
recommended to upgrade to the LibreOffice 24.8 stable branch.
