Comment on LibreOffice 24.2 Will Succeed LibreOffice 7.6
nocturne213@lemm.ee 1 year ago
LibreOffice developers are moving to a year.month based versioning system. Thus the next release with their six-month based release cadence will be LibreOffice 24.2 and in turn LibreOffice 24.8, 25.2, 25.8, 26.2, etc. Due to the maturity of the LibreOffice codebase, the current versioning system isn’t really reflective of major changes and in turn can be hard to genuinely justify bumping the significant version number. By switching to a calendar-based numbering system it’s now decoupled from features or not of that release.
