@claudechampagne You don't need to wait – you can make it happen! We're a volunteer-driven project with limited resources, so to get a feature you want more quickly, please consider helping our volunteers, or funding a developer: https://www.documentfoundation.org/certified-developers/ – Thank you 😊

The video is also available on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGH8MhtbrNU

Check out some of the new features in #LibreOffice 25.2 in this video! There are many more, of course: https://peertube.opencloud.lu/w/je9LMg8EbgEiTLsoW6s98K #foss #opensource

You know our community help site, Ask LibreOffice? https://ask.libreoffice.org – Well, it's now on Mastodon too, thanks to the good people at Fosstodon 😊 The @AskLibreOffice account will highlight particularly useful answers, but please still ask your questions on the website, rather than asking the account directly 😉

LibreOffice communities around the world help people to use the suite more effectively. Here's our Nepalese community training students on making CVs: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2025/02/28/creating-reusable-cvs-in-libreoffice-writer-a-recent-session-in-nepal/ #foss #OpenSource

@TritTriton You can see the fixes implemented by the community in the "Fixes in RC1" and "Fixes in RC2" links at the end of the announcement.

LibreOffice 25.2.1 is now available – the first minor release in our new branch of the suite. All users are recommended to update: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2025/02/27/announcement-of-libreoffice-25-2-1/ #foss #OpenSource

Whether or not you use LibreOffice, it's very wise to save your documents in a free and open format – so that you don't get locked out of them in future!

@historiavocis Hope you like it!

@Darkphoenix You might want to read this, as OpenOffice has multiple unfixed security issues over a year old, so it's risky to stay with it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_OpenOffice#Security

@historiavocis @ElBeeToots @joosteto @neil Apache OpenOffice has multiple, unfixed security issues over a year old, so it's strongly recommended to update to an actively maintained successor project like LibreOffice: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_OpenOffice#Security

@heartcode_dev @t3n Yes 🥰 Note that OpenOffice is no longer getting updates though, and has unfixed security issues over a year old: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_OpenOffice#Security

@SteveDuncan That's annoying indeed. Note though that OpenOffice is no longer being updated, and has unfixed security issues over a year old: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_OpenOffice#Security – All development has moved to successor projects like LibreOffice.

@lindarosesmit Not sure what that issue is as other macOS users aren't reporting it, but maybe the steps towards the bottom here will help you on your setup: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102445

@travis Looks like your email was forwarded to their dev@ list, and there they are accusing you of being a "sock puppet", ie a fake account: https://www.mail-archive.com/dev@openoffice.apache.org/msg46342.html – How awful, that they can't take any feedback and accuse you of being a liar.

@lindarosesmit What macOS version, what LibreOffice version, and what are the exact error message(s)?

@zilti Agreed. It's so irresponsible to still be serving up this software. Please contact
press@apache.org and ask why they are still doing it, and let us know what they say!

@travis @zilti @TritTriton We don't know why the Apache Foundation keeps serving it to users either, despite the vulnerabilities. Try contacting press@apache.org and asking why it isn't in the Attic despite unfixed security holes over a year old – would be interesting to see what they say!

@rzeta0 Yes, it's hugely irresponsible. Please contact apache@apache.org and ask why they still offer it to download, and let us know what they say...
