With LibreOffice 25.2 reaching the end of its life on 30 November, and the announcement of LibreOffice 26.2 scheduled for early February, this release is ready for production environments. It provides over 70 fixes which further improve the suite's performance, reliability and interoperability. All LibreOffice users are encouraged to update their installations as soon as possible.
LibreOffice 25.8.4 is based on the highly robust LibreOffice technology platform, which supports the development of desktop, mobile, and cloud applications from both TDF and ecosystem companies. The platform supports both available document formats for full interoperability: the native, open standard ODF (Open Document Format, ODT, ODS and ODP) and the proprietary Microsoft OOXML (DOCX, XLSX and PPTX).
Products based on LibreOffice Technology are available for all desktop operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux and Chrome OS), mobile platforms (Android and iOS), and the cloud.
For enterprise-class deployments, versions are available from ecosystem companies with added features and benefits, such as SLAs and security patch backports for three to five years (https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-in-business/).
English manuals for the LibreOffice 25.8 family can be downloaded from https://books.libreoffice.org/en/. End users can access initial technical support from volunteers via mailing lists and the Ask LibreOffice forum: https://ask.libreoffice.org/.
All available desktop versions of LibreOffice can be downloaded from the same website: https://www.libreoffice.org/download/. To improve interoperability with Microsoft 365, TDF recommends installing the Microsoft Aptos font via this webpage: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/font-list/aptos.
LibreOffice enterprise and individual users can support The Document Foundation and the LibreOffice project by making a donation at https://www.libreoffice.org/donate.
