About this Page

This is an in-progress scratch-pad of notes to build release notes from as and when we release. Please do not list features that are to be shipped already in the 25.2 release! Please do not add wish-list features that you hope will be implemented, but only what actually is implemented already. After you add a release note, please also add this text into the Whiteboard field of the respective Bugzilla report, referencing the appropriate LibreOffice version: inReleaseNotes:xx.y What does a good feature look like here: It has a short description, and a way for a busy reviewer to find and play with the feature. Target someone who is extremely busy, and knows little-to-nothing about the product. So if a user interface element is key to the feature, be very explicit about where it is, e.g. using a menu path that leads to it: Format ▸ Character ▸ Position [tab] ▸ ‘90 degrees’. It credits the main authors who did the work (add them in parentheses after the feature description) and references the relevant Bugzilla ticket. If the feature can be shown off with a sample file – particularly for new import-able features, it would be wonderful to have a link to a test file that we can use to show that feature off to best effect. That really helps us to make good screenshots to show off the features, and allows reviewers to do their testing. For more details, see the guidelines. Thanks in advance for your help filling this out!

Core / General

• A new application-wide Viewer mode is implemented. In it, all files are opened in read-only mode; all editing tools are disabled. The mode is controlled by the new "ViewerAppMode" expert configuration. (Mike Kaganski, Collabora) tdf#62845

• On Windows, the automatic (“MAR”) update mechanism now only registers its update_service.exe as a Windows “LibreOffice Maintenance Service” (that allows to do updates with administrator privileges) when LibreOffice is installed to C:\Program Files. (Stephan Bergmann, allotropia) tdf#164225 tdf#162780

Platform Compatibility

Support for Windows 7 and 8/8.1 was removed.
