Lots of improvements coming to #LibreOffice: clearer font substitution, a button in Calc to list sheets, better hyphenation support, and more. See our QA and dev summary for September: qa.blog.documentfoundation.org/2026/10/06/q... #foss #opensource #freesoftware

Why did #LibreOffice 26.8 get over 4 million downloads in September? We answered this question, and more, in our talk at the recent LinuxDays event in Prague: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHqU... #foss #openSource #freesoftware

For Adlair Cerecedo-Méndez, his work with #LibreOffice began as a response to a specific need: helping the Mexican government obtain an office suite tailored to public institutions: blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/10... #foss #opensource #freesoftware

New in #LibreOffice 26.8: Better frame typography – Page line spacing now works correctly inside Writer frames, keeping text aligned to the document's baseline grid. wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes... #foss #opensource #freesoftware

We do extensive testing before every major release of #LibreOffice. But as it's a large app used in millions of different ways, issues can come up. So The Document Foundation has expanded its team with a new #QA Analyst: blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/09... #foss #openSource #freesoftware

Hi – the page is technical because our volunteers need specific information, in order to fix issues. An alternative you can use is the users mailing list: wiki.documentfoundation.org/Users/Mailin...

@libreoffice.bsky.socialSep 28, 2026, 10:56 AM

That's risky – OpenOffice has "red" status due to many unfixed security problems, and is not recommended for production use: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_... (It's also had no major update since 2014.) Far safer to use one of the actively maintained and fixed successor projects...

@libreoffice.bsky.socialSep 28, 2026, 10:50 AM

You can find the version in LibreOffice > About in the menu. We want to help, but please remember that we're a volunteer-driven project with limited resources. Volunteers can only fix issues when they have lots of details about the setup (and steps to reproduce the issue). Thanks for understanding!

Hi! Without details about the problems (LibreOffice version, operating system, exact steps to reproduce etc.) it's hard for us to fix things. We're a volunteer-driven project with limited resources, so please help us to help you by reporting at bugs.documentfoundation.org with details. Thank you!

New in #LibreOffice 26.8: Relative font sizes – Calc cell styles can now use relative font sizes, making style management more flexible across large spreadsheets. wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes... #foss #opensource #freesoftware

@libreoffice.bsky.socialSep 25, 2026, 5:22 AM

Is there any reason you're still using OpenOffice? It has "red" risk status due to many unfixed security problems, and is strongly not recommended for production use: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_... – There are more actively maintained successor projects, still free and open source...
