@the5thColumnist Yes, the 24.2 branch will be maintained for a bit longer, and we will wait for 24.8 to receive one or two point (bugfix) releases before rolling out the update checker notification to all users.

@Ann_Effes Hi! Not sure what you mean by "first safe". And for "boot time", do you mean startup time? You can see a list of fixed bugs in the links at the end of the announcement. If you install LibreOffice 24.8 and still have a problem you can report it to our QA community at bugs.documentfoundation.org/ – Thanks! 😊

First safe: You create a document and want to safe it or the first time. That causes LibreOffice (on my machines) to beachball for up to 2 minutes. Saving changes to existing files work fine. This problem is existing since the last 3-4 versions or so.

Boot time: Yes, startup time. Time untill you can actually start to write is quote long with up 40 seconds.

This problem exists like forever. I do not consider it as a bug - still: even MSWD is way faster.
