LibreOffice 25.8 RC1 Released With Various File Performance Improvements


The first release candidate of the LibreOffice 25.8 open-source office suite is now available for testing

This half-year update as the leading free software alternative to Microsoft Office has been working on performance improvements for various file types, dropping support for old versions of Windows, and various other enhancements. LibreOffice 25.8 has already been under a hard feature freeze since early June, so there isn't much new work in RC1 in particular besides bug fixes. - A variety of new functions were added to the Calc spreadsheet program like WRAPCOLS, TOCOL, TOROW, EXPAND, DROP, CHOOSECOLS, VSTACK, and others.
