LibreOffice 24.2 Will Succeed LibreOffice 7.6 Written by Michael Larabel in LibreOffice on 22 August 2023 at 05:41 AM EDT. 34 Comments LIBREOFFICE One nugget of information in the LibreOffice 7.6 release announcement for those who missed it and deserves calling out specifically... Succeeding LibreOffice 7.6 will not be v7.7 or v8.0 but rather v24.2. LibreOffice developers are moving to a year.month based versioning system. Thus the next release with their six-month based release cadence will be LibreOffice 24.2 and in turn LibreOffice 24.8, 25.2, 25.8, 26.2, etc. Due to the maturity of the LibreOffice codebase, the current versioning system isn't really reflective of major changes and in turn can be hard to genuinely justify bumping the significant version number. By switching to a calendar-based numbering system it's now decoupled from features or not of that release. LibreOffice 24.2 dev builds There were some internal discussions whether it should move to say LibreOffice 2024.2 but in the end they decided for a YY.M-based scheme. There were also discussions whether to just always increase the major version number with each new release as Firefox and Google Chrome do now, but that too was decided against. So next February, look forward to LibreOffice 24.2. 34 Comments Tweet [INS::INS] Related News LibreOffice 7.6 Now Available For This Best Free Software Office Suite LibreOffice Lands APNG Export Support LibreOffice 7.6 RC2 Available For Last Minute Testing Of This Open-Source Office Suite LibreOffice 7.6 RC1 Available For Testing Out The New Open-Source Office Suite Features LibreOffice 7.6 Beta Available For This Excellent Open-Source Office Suite LibreOffice 7.6 Alpha 1 Available For This Leading Open-Source Office Suite About The Author Michael Larabel Michael Larabel is the principal author of Phoronix.com and founded the site in 2004 with a focus on enriching the Linux hardware experience.
