@libreoffice Is there a web based version or still old school downloads only? @tdforg

@NiemPseu @libreoffice @tdforg it points you to #Collabora tried it with teacher. Not as friendly to work with as with 365. So lot to win

@redegelde @libreoffice @tdforg I went to the @CollaboraOffice site and asked for the free demo. But I don't get a link to use and test it. The registration does not work.

@NiemPseu @libreoffice @tdforg @CollaboraOffice is the problem. You can set up your own with owncloud but again. Its the same with old Twitter users. Masto is no X but if it would work simalar.

@redegelde @libreoffice @tdforg OwnCloud is not my cup of tea. It's software not intuitive to use. I have worked with some companies that wanted to implement it, but people keep on struggling.

@NiemPseu @libreoffice @tdforg That is the core thing users want.

Do we have some way to get a real version number somewhere?

@nick @libreoffice @tdforg
This is the real version number :)

As written here https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2023-May/090403.html
they decided to jump straight to 24.2 (from 7.6) updating the numbering scheme.

@erAck

Thanks for the .

I'm aware of the change from major.minor to year.month, but this means, will not provide a real version number in the future, as a release date doesn't tell anything about major.minor or what to expect from a release.

And it looks like they discussed between 24.02 and 24.2...

But is 24.2 a version like 7.7 or a next generation like 8.0?
And what about 24.8?

@nick @erAck @libreoffice @tdforg
Now I got it, thanks for the explanation! :)

We should ask to someone from Libreoffice Marketing like @italovignoli

(My opinion) I think they abandoned the idea of "generations" as now there's a continuous stream of features and bug fixes above mature and stable codebase.

It's not like Nextcloud where they continue to mantain a double numbering scheme as they're still introducing new and (sometimes) breaking changes where you can distinguish the generations

Already had some conversation in the past with #LibreOffice via #Fediverse.

I miss real versions numbers, that are useful on technical level.

That's why i asked, if there is somewhere one... hidden under the hood... ;-)

Advertising should maybe be separated from engineering... :-)

But i don't wanted to start a heavy or intense discussion... :-)

@nick @damtux @erAck @tdforg @italovignoli

24.2 is a major release number, and will be followed by minor release numbers 24.2.1, 24.2.2, 24.2.3, ..., as in the past
