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.
Among the most notable fixes are corrections for crashes in Writer, Calc, and Impress, improved date handling in mail merge and data conversion, and better SVG rendering. 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.
Draw and Impress receive updates addressing line thickness inconsistencies, SVG text displacement, and crash scenarios during slide transitions or object resizing. The update also restores missing document colors, fixes problems with sidebar operations, and enhances compatibility when importing RTF, DXF, and PDF files.
In addition to bug fixes, this release brings updated translations. For a full rundown of everything that’s been fixed in LibreOffice 25.8.2, check out the release notes for the RC1 and RC2 versions. The official announcement is here.
The next update, 25.8.3, is scheduled for mid-November. LibreOffice 25.8 will be supported through June 12, 2026, after which it’ll reach the end-of-life for that release series.
