LibreOffice 24.2 Community, the new major release of the free, volunteer-supported office suite, with the new calendar-based numbering scheme (YY.M), many new useful features, and a focus on security and accessibility, is available at libreoffice.org/download @libreoffice @tdforg
I'm aware of the change from major.minor to year.month, but this means, #LibreOffice will not provide a real version number in the future, as a release date doesn't tell anything about major.minor or what to expect from a release.
And it looks like they discussed between 24.02 and 24.2...
But is 24.2 a version like 7.7 or a next generation like 8.0? And what about 24.8?
@nick @erAck Now I got it, thanks for the explanation! :)
We should ask to someone from Libreoffice Marketing like @italovignoli
(My opinion) I think they abandoned the idea of "generations" as now there's a continuous stream of features and bug fixes above mature and stable codebase.
It's not like Nextcloud where they continue to mantain a double numbering scheme as they're still introducing new and (sometimes) breaking changes where you can distinguish the generations
Yes, but here we're talking about how to distinguish between different "generations" of major releases, like between 7 (7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, 7.6) and then 8 (8.0, 8.1, 8.2,.....).
Could it be possible a rethinking of the actual scheme at least in favour of double numbering (technical and marketing/official) like Nextcloud is doing, e.g with Nextcloud 28 (Hub 7)?
Hi @libreoffice: I'm getting a 403 error from Nginx when I try to download the 64-bit .deb torrent file. Copying the .torrent URL on the Download page:
@sn0n Hi, where are you coming across that site? We don't use it – the site for all English-speaking users is libreoffice.org/ – but if it's still being listed somewhere, we will remove it. Thanks!

This is the real version number :)
As written here lists.freedesktop.org/archives…
they decided to jump straight to 24.2 (from 7.6) updating the numbering scheme.
[libreoffice-marketing] Development will branch off of 7.6 on Jun 5. Please communicate the next version number

Already had some conversation in the past with #LibreOffice via #Fediverse.
I miss real versions numbers, that are useful on technical level.
That's why i asked, if there is somewhere one... hidden under the hood...
Advertising should maybe be separated from engineering...
But i don't wanted to start a heavy or intense discussion...

24.2 is a major release number, and will be followed by minor release numbers 24.2.1, 24.2.2, 24.2.3, ..., as in the past
