LibreOffice 26.2 is now officially released as the newest half-year update to this leading open-source and cross-platform free software office suite.
For those not liking the direction of Microsoft Office 365, LibreOffice remains a great alternative particularly for Linux users. The LibreOffice 26.2 Writer word processor improves its spell checking dialog, tracking improvements to document changes, Start and End paragraph alignment, and other changes.
The Calc spreadsheet program in LibreOffice 26.2 adds connector support for Calc, support for xmlMaps.xml, improvements to the Sort dialog options, Biff12 clipboard format support found with Excel 2007+, and various performance improvements.
LibreOffice 26.2 Base is now properly multi-user, performance improvements for 3D charts with the Chart program, improved Google Drive authentication for LibreOffice, faster SVG graphics rendering, and a number of user interface refinements.
And one great subtle change of LibreOffice 26.2 is dropping the “Community” Edition branding.
