This is the real version number :)

As written here https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2023-May/090403.html
they decided to jump straight to 24.2 (from 7.6) updating the numbering scheme.

Thanks for the #URL.

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?

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

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
