I wish they call it 2024.2. "24.2" is too easy to confuse with non-date versioning.

So lets wait for 24.2.2, end of march, and then go for it.

That too, and what are they going to do in 3024?

Well, you're laughing about it today...

By coincidence OnlyOffice 8.0.0 was also released today.
The most important thing in this release was RTL Support which was the only thing that was missing to use it instead of LO.

LO is open source, OO is proprietary online-based ransomware.

LO is open source, OO is proprietary online-based ransomware.

It's an opensource project https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE under AGPL-3.0-or-later License.

Many of their projects are online-based, but their desktop editors are not. I could use them without internet.

Ransomware? Good to know.

LO is open source, OO is proprietary online-based ransomware.

OnlyOffice is FOSS and has offline desktop and mobile apps.

The UI is much better than LibreOffice and compatibility with MS Office also seems to be better. Though OO is still missing lots of features that LO and MSO have.

I am surprised that Impress didn't have Small Caps support. It's like... so basic.
