Berlin, 18 December 2025 – LibreOffice 25.8.4, the fourth minor update to the free office suite developed by volunteers for personal productivity in office environments on Windows, MacOS and Linux, is now available from the download page.

With LibreOffice 25.2 reaching the end of life on 30 November, and the announcement of LibreOffice 26.2 scheduled for early February, this release is ready for production environments. It provides over 70 fixes which further improve the suite’s performance, reliability and interoperability. All LibreOffice users are encouraged to update their installations as soon as possible.

LibreOffice 25.8.4 is based on the highly robust LibreOffice technology platform, which supports the development of desktop, mobile, and cloud applications from both TDF and ecosystem companies. The platform supports both available document formats for full interoperability: the native, open standard ODF (Open Document Format, ODT, ODS and ODP) and the proprietary Microsoft OOXML (DOCX, XLSX and PPTX).

Products based on LibreOffice Technology are available for all desktop operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux and Chrome OS), mobile platforms (Android and iOS), and the cloud.

For enterprise-class deployments, versions are available from ecosystem companies with added features and benefits, such as SLAs and security patch backports for three to five years (LibreOffice in business).

English manuals for the LibreOffice 25.8 family can be downloaded from the LibreOffice bookstore. End users can access initial technical support from volunteers via mailing lists and the Ask LibreOffice forum.

All available desktop versions of LibreOffice can be downloaded from the same download page. To improve interoperability with Microsoft 365, TDF recommends installing the Microsoft Aptos font from the specific download page.

LibreOffice enterprise and individual users can support The Document Foundation and the LibreOffice project by making a donation on the donations page.

Berlin, 9 October 2025 – LibreOffice 25.8.2, the second minor release of the free, volunteer-supported office suite for personal productivity in office environments, is now available on our download page for Windows, macOS and Linux.

This release includes over 60 bug and regression fixes over LibreOffice 25.8 [1] to enhance the software’s stability and robustness. It also solves several interoperability issues with the proprietary Microsoft Office/365 document format and improves the user interface and file opening and saving processes.

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.

LibreOffice 25.8.2 is available at www.libreoffice.org/download/.

For users who don’t need the latest features and prefer a version that has undergone more testing and bug fixing, The Document Foundation maintains the LibreOffice 25.2 family, which includes several months of back-ported fixes. The current release is LibreOffice 25.2.6.

The Document Foundation does not provide technical support for users, although they can get it from volunteers on user mailing lists and the Ask LibreOffice website: ask.libreoffice.org
