Coming up in #LibreOffice 24.2, our next major release (with new "year.month" version scheme): big improvements to the Navigator, thanks to Jim Raykowski! Hidden headings are now greyed out, and nested sections can now be collapsed, just like headings: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/24.2#Navigator #foss #OpenSource

wait, when did you change the version scheme? 😳
in reply to LibreOffice

Shouldn’t that be 24.02? Otherwise you’ll end up with 24.12 > 24.2 which is counterintuitive.

@Albirew As the post says, we're moving to a "year.month" versioning scheme, like various other apps and projects. This is based on feedback from users, who want the version number to say more about when the app was released 😊

What about "stardate" versioning, instead? 202402.xx, with "xx", being the day, if you might need to release twice in a month. 🖖🏻

Why not remaining with the current version scheme?

How about making importing data from google sheets doable without a 4 year comp sci degree
in reply to kierkegaank

@kierkegaank In Google Sheets, click File > Downloads > OpenDocument. Then you get a file you can open in LibreOffice. We wouldn't say that requires a degree 😉

Thank you for the tip! Although I need to link the data in google sheets because libreoffice doesn’t seem to support googlefinance().

I don’t want to use ms office or google more than I have to, but I have to :/

in reply to kierkegaank

@kierkegaank Ah, OK! There are various ways to access financial data in LibreOffice – maybe ask on https://ask.libreoffice.org and see what the community there says 👍
