LibreOffice 25.8.5 has been released, featuring various fixes and improvements such as better handling of embedded OLE objects in Writer documents, respect for custom animation timings in Impress when exporting to PDF, and enhanced import paths for DOCX files with mixed text directions. The update also includes important security backports that address a remote code execution vulnerability, making it essential for enterprises using the previous 25.7.x version. However, users may encounter some issues, including optional language packs taking up extra space and problems with the integrated PDF printer producing blank pages. To optimize file exchanges with Office 365 users, LibreOffice recommends installing Microsoft's Aptos font, which enhances text fidelity and reduces line spacing errors

LibreOffice 25.8.5 has been released with several fixes and improvements, including corrected handling of embedded OLE objects in Writer documents, respect for custom animation timings in Impress when exporting to PDF, and improved import path for DOCX files with mixed RTL and LTR text. The update also includes security backports that fix a remote code execution vector, making it practically mandatory for enterprise rollouts still running 25.7.x.
