LibreOffice, the popular free open-source office suite, release new 25.8 version today!
LibreOffice 25.8 is a new major release that features user interface improvements, many new spreadsheet functions, faster file loading, and many other new features.
First, the new release added support for exporting PDF 2.0 (ISO 32000-2). The PDF export dialog now offers a drop-down box to choose PDF 2.0 or PDF/A-4 that’s using PDF 2.0 as the base. And, it implemented modern AES-256 encryption that is mandatory with PDF 2.0.
For those who would like to use LibreOffice as a document viewer, the release introduced application-wide viewer mode that all files will be open as read-only mode with all editing tools disabled.
And the option is controlled by ViewerAppMode option in the Advanced -> Expert Configuration dialog.
Enable Application Wide Viewer (read-only) Mode.
The Calc app in the release introduced many new functions. They include CHOOSECOLS, CHOOSEROWS, DROP, EXPAND, HSTACK, TAKE, TEXTAFTER, TEXTBEFORE, TEXTSPLIT, TOCOL, TOROW, VSTACK, WRAPCOLS, and WRAPROWS functions.
It as well added “Clear AutoFilter” option to Calc cells context menu, and ability to customize conditional formatting operators in icon sets.
The Writer app introduced new Move line hyphenation rule to choose whether to hyphenate the last line words of the pages and move the whole lines to the next pages instead.
It added paragraph, column, page and spread end zones, command to insert a paragraph break before a table, command to convert fields into plain text, and dialog for copy content of a field from read-only document.
There are also per-window track changes recording, reinstate for tracked changes, option to redact images (remove sensitive data), and ability to set the language of certain punctuation characters.
Redact Images
LibreOffice 25.8 also has significantly performance improvements. Writer and Calc open files up to 30% faster in benchmark tests.
For Writer, it’s now much faster for deleting very large tables, faster loading tables with bookmarks, and faster to open large right-to-left documents in. For Calc, it greatly improved loading XLSX files with lots of conditional formatting, graphical objects, customFormat attributes, or formulas.
Other changes in the release include:
LibreOffice 25.8 also removed Windows 7 and 8/8.1 support, deprecated 32-bit Windows build. And, it’s the last version that runs on macOS 10.15. For more, see the official release note.
