LibreOffice 26.2 has been released, featuring enhancements in speed, Markdown support, and improved compatibility with Microsoft file formats. The update allows for quicker opening of large documents and smoother scrolling in Calc, while also enabling easy conversion between Markdown and other formats, though users may need to manually adjust complex tables after export. While the upgrade is not essential for those satisfied with version 26.1, it addresses several long-standing issues for power users, such as better handling of anchored objects and improved connector support in Calc. However, there are some drawbacks, including a cramped vertical tab UI on low-resolution screens and an increased installer size due to the new Skia engine
LibreOffice 26.2 released
LibreOffice 26.2 is the latest free office suite from The Document Foundation, offering improvements in speed, Markdown support, and better Microsoft file compatibility. A performance boost allows for faster opening of large documents and smoother scrolling in Calc, while Markdown import/export enables users to easily convert between formats. While upgrading isn't necessary if your workflow with LibreOffice 26.1 is smooth, the new version solves several long-standing annoyances for power users, such as anchored objects and connector support in Calc. However, some potential drawbacks include a cramped vertical tab UI on low-resolution screens and a larger installer size due to the mandatory Skia engine.
