Release of LibreOffice 25.8.2 - The Document Foundation Blog
LibreOffice 25.8.2, the second minor release of the free, volunteer-supported office suite for personal productivity in office environments, is now available on our download page for Windows, macOS and Linux.
This release includes over 60 bug and regression fixes over LibreOffice 25.8 [1] to enhance the software’s stability and robustness. It also solves several interoperability issues with the proprietary Microsoft Office/365 document format and improves the user interface and file opening and saving processes.
LibreOffice is the only office suite with a feature set comparable to the market leader. It also offers a range of interface options to suit all user habits, from traditional to modern, and makes the most of different screen form factors by optimising the space available on the desktop to put the maximum number of features just a click or two away.

The Document Foundation has released LibreOffice 25.8.2 as a second point release in the 25.8 series, addressing a wide range of bugs reported by users since version 25.8.1.

Writer users will also benefit from fixes for tracked changes, missing headers and footers in DOCX files, and page number alignment issues when using mirrored layouts.
Calc sees improvements to hyperlink insertion, chart axis labeling, and date formatting when converting data to text or tables. Several long-standing issues with undo operations, vertical text alignment, and “shrink to fit” settings have also been resolved.
