The Document Foundation announced today the general availability of LibreOffice 24.2.2 as the second point release to the latest LibreOffice 24.2 office suite series fixing more than 70 bugs.
Coming a month after LibreOffice 24.2.1, the LibreOffice 24.2.2 update addresses more of those pesky bugs, crashes, and other annoyances reported by users in the latest LibreOffice 24.2 office suite series.
In numbers, the LibreOffice 24.2.2 update addresses a total of 77 bugs, which improves the overall quality and interoperability for individual productivity of the LibreOffice 24.2 office suite. Details about these bugs are available in the RC1 and RC2 changelogs.
LibreOffice 24.2 was released on January 31st, 2024. It introduced major changes such as a new calendar-based version numbering scheme, new security and accessibility features, as well as improved interoperability with the MS Office suite of apps.
The LibreOffice 24.2 office suite series is set to receive seven maintenance updates until it reaches its end of support on November 30th of this year. The upcoming release, LibreOffice 24.2.3, is expected around the ending of April or beginning of May in 2024.
In spite of this, The Document Foundation advises that power users and technology enthusiasts use the LibreOffice 24.2 office suite. However, for systems in a productive state, the foundation still suggests the use of the LibreOffice 7.6 series. Today saw an update to the LibreOffice 7.6.6, where a total of 33 bugs were fixed.
The updates for both LibreOffice 24.2.2 and LibreOffice 7.6.6 are ready for download straight from the official website. There you can find binary packages for DEB and RPM-based GNU/Linux distributions organized by The Document Foundation.
System integrators or those who wish to compile LibreOffice from the source will also find the source tarball available. Should users already have LibreOffice installed from the software repositories of their GNU/Linux distribution, they are advised to wait for the new versions to be updated there.
The Document Foundation reminds us that this is the “Community” edition of LibreOffice, supported by volunteers. For enterprise-class deployments, they recommend the LibreOffice Enterprise family of applications from ecosystem partners.
