In 2019, LibreOffice had over 15,000 code commits, while OpenOffice had only 595. In recent years, almost all development activity has taken place in LibreOffice, with 13 major releases and 87 minor releases. Very few minor releases have been made, and there have been issues with timely security updates too. That’s right – no significant new features or major updates have arrived in over six years. It has a fascinating history, but since 2014, Apache OpenOffice (its current home) hasn’t had a single major release. OpenOffice(.org) – the “father project” of LibreOffice – was a great office suite, and changed the world. But sometimes, users can lose out when they’re not aware of newer alternatives, or when one brand overshadows another. Hundreds of millions of people around the world have benefited from the choice and customisation that they bring. It’s great to have a rich and diverse set of free and open source software projects.
