Announcement of LibreOffice 24.2.3 Community
Berlin, 2 May 2024 – LibreOffice 24.2.3 Community, the third minor release of the free, volunteer-supported office suite for personal productivity in office environments, is now available at https://www.libreoffice.org/download for Windows, macOS and Linux.
The release includes around 80 bug and regression fixes over LibreOffice 24.2.2 [1] to improve the stability and robustness of the software. LibreOffice 24.2.3 Community is the most advanced version of the office suite, offering the best features and interoperability with Microsoft Office proprietary formats.
LibreOffice is the only office suite with a feature set comparable to the market leader. It also offers a range of interface options to suit all user habits, from traditional to modern, and makes the most of different screen form factors by optimising the space available on the desktop to put the maximum number of features just a click or two away.
The most significant advantage of LibreOffice over other office suites is the LibreOffice Technology engine, a single software platform for all environments: desktop, cloud and mobile. This allows LibreOffice to provide a better user experience and produce identical, and interoperable, documents based on both ISO standards: Open Document Format (ODT, ODS and ODP) for users concerned about compatibility, resilience and digital sovereignty, and the proprietary Microsoft format(DOCX, XLSX and PPTX).
A full description of all the new features of the LibreOffice 24.2 major release line can be found in the release notes [2].

Every line of code developed by ecosystem companies for enterprise customers is shared with the community on the master code repository and contributes to the improvement of the LibreOffice Technology platform.
