Today we're celebrating "I love Free Software day" – saying thanks to all the contributors who make free and open source software (like LibreOffice) possible: blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/02...

We hope you're enjoying the new features in #LibreOffice 26.2! Here's a look behind-the-scenes at what the developer and QA community did in January: qa.blog.documentfoundation.org/2026/02/11/q...

ODF logo

Open Document Format (ODF) is the standard format in #LibreOffice. Now there's version 0.13.0 of the ODF Toolkit – a community-driven, open-source library for creating, scanning, and manipulating ODF files: blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/02...

New in #LibreOffice 26.2: When exporting a PDF, you can now choose to remove cross-document links. wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes...

That's very risky! OpenOffice has unfixed security issues and high risk status from Apache: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_... – It's barely maintained now. There are far more actively maintained and developed successor projects, still free and open source, but with vital fixes (such as LibreOffice).

Screenshot of Sort Options dialog

New in #LibreOffice 26.2: When natural sort is enabled in the Sort options dialog, there is an additional option to treat decimal separators as regular characters. This allows sorting IP addresses, for example, even if the locale has a dot as the decimal separator.

LibreOffice is more than just software – it's a worldwide community doing cool things together. Here's what we did in January: blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/02...

New in #LibreOffice 26.2: Writer now displays a more visible grid, and the "Snap to Grid" feature now more accurately aligns objects with the grid. wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes...

OpenOffice's last big update was back in 2014 (it can't even export .docx), and now it has unfixed security issues: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_... – Not sure what distro you're using, but virtually all Linux distros moved years ago to LibreOffice, the actively maintained successor project!

Note that OpenOffice's last major update was in 2014. Since then development has mostly stopped, apart from some tiny updates, and it has unfixed security issues: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_... – Virtually all development moved to LibreOffice, the actively maintained and fixed successor project.

Hi Liz! We are a volunteer-driven, community open source project with limited resources, so we focus on the core office apps on desktop. But if you'd like a mobile email client, there are many open source options available – look at the options marked green on en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compari... 👍

Don't just hope – make it happen! We love Impress improvements too, but they can only happen if people help our volunteers, or fund developers. Thanks in advance for any help that anyone chooses to give us 😊

@microsoft.com is raising prices on its 3655/Office suite, apparently justifying it by all the shiny new AI features its adding.

I've happily been using LibreOffice (@libreoffice.bsky.social) for years. No bundled AI, fully compatible with all major file formats, regularly updated, and free.

Note that OpenOffice's last major update was in 2014, and now it has long-term, unfixed security issues so is strongly not recommended for production use: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_... – All development (and Linux distros) moved years ago to LibreOffice, the actively maintained successor project.

Hope you like it! If you have any questions, you can get help on ask.libreoffice.org 😊
