[tdf-announce] LibreOffice 26.2 is here: a faster, more polished office suite that you control

We’re pleased to announce the release of LibreOffice 26.2, the newest 
version of the free and open source office suite trusted by millions of 
users around the world. This release makes it easier than ever for users 
to create, edit and share documents on their own terms. Designed for 
individuals and organizations alike, it continues to be a trusted 
alternative to proprietary office software.

LibreOffice 26.2 is focused on  improvements that make a difference in 
daily work and brings better performance, smoother interaction with 
complex documents and improved compatibility with files created in other 
office software. Whether you're writing reports, managing spreadsheets, 
or preparing presentations, the experience feels more responsive and 
reliable.

LibreOffice has always been about giving users control. LibreOffice 26.2 
continues that tradition by strengthening support for open document 
standards, and ensuring long-term access to your files, without 
subscriptions, license restrictions, or data collection. Your documents 
stay yours – forever.

Behind this release there is a global community of contributors. 
Developers, designers, translators, QA testers, and volunteers from 
around the world worked together to deliver hundreds of fixes and 
refinements. Their efforts result in a suite that not only adds 
features, but also improves quality, consistency, and stability, release 
after release.

What’s New in LibreOffice 26.2

• Improved performance and responsiveness across the suite, making large 
documents open, edit, and save more smoothly.
• Enhanced compatibility with documents created in proprietary and open 
core office software, reducing formatting issues and surprises.
• Refined user interface behavior for a cleaner, more consistent experience.
• Expanded support for open standards, reinforcing long-term access to 
documents
• Hundreds of bug fixes and stability improvements contributed by the 
global LibreOffice community.

"LibreOffice 26.2 shows what happens when software is built around 
users, not business models, and how open source software can deliver a 
modern, polished productivity suite without compromising user freedom," 
said Florian Effenberger, Executive Director of The Document Foundation. 
"This release is about speed, reliability, and giving people control 
over their documents."

LibreOffice 26.2 is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, and 
supports over 120 languages out of the box. It can be used at home, in 
businesses, schools, and public institutions, with no licensing fees and 
no vendor lock-in.

You can download LibreOffice 26.2 today from the official LibreOffice 
website. We invite users to try the new release, share feedback, and 
join the community helping shape the future of LibreOffice. If they are 
happy, they can donate to support the independence and the future 
development of the project.
