Last week, we released #LibreOffice 25.8. But it's not just a major update of the free office suite – it's a strategic asset for organisations, governments and enterprises focused on digital sovereignty and #privacy: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl #foss #open #freesoftware

    @libreoffice hmm, glad it's still progressing, but I'm worried about the word "smarter." If it's getting a so-called "AI" integrated I hope there's an easy-to-find disable setting.

    @ottaross It's not getting AI integrated, no.

    @libreoffice Is the irritating recovery mode thing fixed? Even though I have autosave turned if something happens to my computer, I have to click like six things to reopen LibreOffice and the document that was open.

    @MylesRyden You can see what's fixed and changed here: wiki.documentfoundation.org/Re – If there's something else you wish to see, you can submit an enhancement request at bugs.documentfoundation.org – But of course, we're a volunteer-driven project with very limited resources, so your help in implementing changes would be very welcome. Thank you 😊

    @libreofficePlease, for the love of Haile Selassie, just get rid of the endlessly long list of uninstalled languages from the spell checker. I switch daily between Swedish and UK English, those are the only ones I usually want to see.#libreoffice

    @mrundkvist Hi! You can submit enhancement requests here: bugs.documentfoundation.org – But of course, we're a volunteer-driven project with very limited resources. To get a change more quickly, you can consider helping our volunteers, or funding a developer. Thank you β˜ΊοΈπŸ‘

    @libreoffice @mrundkvist It really shouldn't be that hard to offer a tick box list in the language settings. Because I will never need a separate spelling dictionary for English (Belize) or English (Israel). Ever. I only need 2 of the 18 Englishes, I should be able to hide the other 16.(And making regular users sign up for an account to submit bugs is one of FOSS culture's major problems. Just admit you don't want non-technical people to communicate with you.)

    Screenshot of the spellcheck interface in LibreOffice Writer. The list of available languages is zoomed to English. It has 18 different varieties, including Australia, Belize, Canada, Caribbean, Ghana, India, Ireland, Israel, Jamaica, Malawi, Namibia, New Zealand, Philippines, South Africa, Trinidad, UK, USA and Zimbabwe.

    @herzleid @mrundkvist If it's not very hard, then can you help us to do it? We have extremely limited resources and a ton of requests, and very few people offering to help. They just say "it shouldn't be hard" but don't do anything to make it happen. We can't do everything I'm afraid – not without more help. And re: Bugzilla needing an account, that's to stop spam. We get huge spam attacks but again, have extremely limited resources so need logins. We're really doing all we can.

    @libreoffice On one hand I get that, on the other I've actually tried participating in projects (a long time ago, not LO specifically) and I had a terrible experience every time (bc I don't code? bc I'm a woman? who knows?)I do appreciate Libre Office immensely, but being encouraged to file bugs when I know they will likely be dismissed bc they're "formulated incorrectly" or considered duplicates etc etc, is grating. Why bother?But sincerely, sorry you're stretched thin. Sorry I can't help.

  • @libreoffice what I want to know is - where are your servers? as far as I can see, USA is joining China in claiming access to everything on servers on US soil, meaning nothing is safe, that's kept on US ground

  • @libreoffice Congratulations to the developers and everyone who supports this important project. LibreOffice is incredible after the last update, and I'm sure it will continue to amaze in future updates.

    @libreoffice For me the open standards argument is good enough to choose LibreOffice. But there are plenty more reasons!
