New Update LibreOffice - Update Thread

fyi/fwiw I have v.26.2.1.2 and internal check_for_updates says I'm current at 26.2, so it seems not to check itself for maintenance releases ?

and sometimes throws an error message; one of bug-rich apps in addition to Vivaldi.

fwiw, I use mostly calc.ods and overall LO has been error-free for me and stable. not sure I would call check_for_updates an error, but see your point. I don't use Vivaldi.

Which operating system are you using? If you're on Linux, note that only rolling release distros receive every type of update immediately.

Hi simmerskool,
I used Windows until January 2020 and Kubuntu since then, so I cannot tell for sure, but to my knowledge, the Check for Updates option in LibreOffice on Windows does not always notify of the availability of a newer version right away. Like with some other software applications, such as VLC media player, for instance, there is some form of staged or phased release rollout, if I'm not mistaken.

Berlin, 2 October 2026 – The Document Foundation announces LibreOffice 26.8.1, the first minor release in the LibreOffice 26.8 family, available for Windows, macOS and Linux. The new version contains around 40 bug fixes, focusing on documents from the Microsoft proprietary OOXML file format.

Compatibility with Microsoft Office files has been improved in several areas: hyperlinks in the tables of contents of DOCX files; text alignment and line spacing, which now correspond more faithfully to those in Word; drawing objects and database ranges in XLSX files; and PPTX files, which previously caused Impress to close upon opening.
