Skia rendering on macOS and Windows, introduced for better graphics performance, has now been put under experimental mode to avoid crashes and hangs reported by several users after the upgrade from a previous LibreOffice version.
LibreOffice 26.2.5 is available for immediate download at https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Users of LibreOffice 25.8.x must now update to LibreOffice 26.2.5 as LibreOffice 25.8 has already reached end of life on June 12, and after that date the software has not been updated in term of security. In late August 2026, The Document Foundation will announce LibreOffice 26.8.
List of fixes in RC1: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/26.2.5/RC1. List of fixes in RC2: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/26.2.5/RC2.
LibreOffice users, free software advocates and community members can support The Document Foundation and the LibreOffice project with a donation at https://www.libreoffice.org/donate.
