LibreOffice 25.8: Faster, leaner, and finally speaks PDF 2.0
The Register, Thursday, August 21st, 2025
Update boosts Microsoft file imports, adds new spreadsheet functions, and drops older Windows
LibreOffice 25.8 arrives with a tagline of "smarter, faster and more reliable." That all sounds good. So what's new?
As we mentioned a year ago looking at LibreOffice 24.8, the Document Foundation has adopted a new version-numbering scheme. This reflects that LibreOffice is a very mature piece of software now, with roots in a German word processor for the Amstrad CPC a full 40 years ago. Expect small, incremental improvements instead of big, sweeping changes.
