I-Document Foundation ikhiphe ngokusemthethweni i-LibreOffice 26.8 , inguqulo yakamuva enkulu ye-office suite yayo evulekile. Manje isiyatholakala ukuthi ilandwe kwi-Windows, macOS, kanye ne-Linux ngezilimi ezingaphezu kuka-120, futhi iza nokugxila okucacile: ukuqinisekisa ukuthi amadokhumenti abukeka engenaphutha ekubhalweni nokuthi ngisho namafonti ayinkimbinkimbi kakhulu aphathwa kalula. Ngaphezu kwalokho, esikhathini sobuhlakani bokwenziwa obukhiqizayo, lokhu kukhishwa kuzigqaja ngokuthi akubandakanyi isici esisodwa se-AI, into abadali bayo abayivikelayo njengokukhetha ngamabomu, hhayi ukuntuleka.
Ngemuva kwalokhu kukhishwa kukhona ababhali abangu-206, abangu-155 kubo bangamavolontiya , asebesebenze kusukela ngoDisemba 2025 ezicini ezintathu eziyinhloko: ikhwalithi yokubhala, ukusekelwa kwezinhlelo zokubhala, kanye nokwethembeka kokushintshana kwamafayela ne-Microsoft Office. Isisekelo sigcizelela ukuthi intuthuko ixhaswe ngeminikelo nokuthi uhlelo luhlala lumahhala, kungekho okubhaliselwe noma izici ezivaliwe ngemuva kokukhokha.
Umzamo ozinikele ezinhlelweni zokubhala zomhlaba
Indawo enkulu kakhulu okugxilwe kuyo ibiwumbhalo oqondene nezinhlangothi ezimbili kanye nezinhlamvu eziyinkimbinkimbi. Umbhali, iprosesa yamagama, manje uthola ngokuzenzakalelayo indlela yesigaba lapho evula noma enamathisela idokhumenti futhi ulungisa imigqa ngokwendlela yesigaba, hhayi indlela yezinhlamvu eziseduze. Lokhu kulungisa amaphutha avamile okubona lapho kuhlanganiswa umbhalo wesi-Arabhu noma wesiHebheru nesiLatini. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izibambo zokushintsha usayizi wezinto manje zisebenza kahle kumadokhumenti aqondile noma asuka kwesokudla aye kwesobunxele, okuyinto ebalulekile kubasebenzisi besiShayina, isiJapane, nesiKorea (CJK).
I-Calc, yona, ibeka ngokuzenzakalelayo isiqondiso seseli elingenalutho lapho umbhalo ufakwa kusuka kwesokudla kuya kwesobunxele. Futhi i-Math ifake imisebenzi nama-operators aqanjwe ngamagama ezinhlamvu ze-N'Ko ne-Adlam, ezisetshenziswa ezilimini zaseMandinka zaseNtshonalanga Afrika kanye naseFulani, kanye nama-vector nama-harpoon aqondiswe kwesobunxele amafomula afundwa ngaleyo ndlela. Isisekelo sichaza ukuthi akukho neyodwa yalezi ntuthuko ehloselwe imakethe yezentengiselwano; kunalokho, zenzelwe ukuthi isisekelo singadingi ukubuza ukuthi ulimi lunenzuzo yini ngaphambi kokulisekela.
Enye imininingwane ebalulekile: amagama efonti abhaliswe ngezilimi ezingezona ulimi lwesixhumi esibonakalayo manje axazululwa kahle . Ngakho-ke, idokhumenti edalwe kwelinye izwe izoboniswa nefonti ekhethwe ngumbhali wayo, ngaphandle kokushintshaniswa okungajwayelekile.
Umqambi wezigaba, ubuhlakani bokubhala obubonakala kakhulu
Umlobi wethula i- Paragraph Composer , i-algorithm yokwakheka ehambisa izikhala zamagama esigabeni sonke, kunokuba ithuthukise umugqa ngamunye ngamunye njengoba bekulokhu kuyindlela yendabuko. Lokhu kususa umphumela ojwayelekile wemigqa ehlanganiswe ngokuqinile elandelwa yimigqa enezikhala ezinkulu lapho igama elide lisondela ekuphumuleni. Uhlelo olusha lusakaza inkinga yezikhala emigqeni eminingana elandelanayo futhi likuvumela ukuthi usethe umkhawulo wesikhala esiphezulu.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, kukhona ukwesekwa komdabu kokuhlukahluka kwefonti ye-OpenType , okukuvumela ukuthi usebenzise amafonti aguquguqukayo njengoba ayeklanywe, kufaka phakathi ama-axes alungisa ukungafani noma izilinganiso zezinhlamvu ngokuya ngomzimba wombhalo. Ukuhambisana negridi eyisisekelo nakho kulungisiwe kombhalo ngaphakathi kwamafreyimu, futhi le gridi ingaboniswa ngenkathi ihlelwa, ngombala olungisekayo.
Ukuthuthukiswa kokubhala kudlulela ngale nje kwesikhala: umsebenzi usuwenziwe ukususa amafonti e-Gentium Basic kanye ne-Gentium Book Basic kuzilungiselelo ezizenzakalelayo . Amadokhumenti achaza la mafonti azobonisa uhlobo oluhlukile lokubhala ngaphandle kokuthi afakwe ngokwehlukana, njengoba etholakala ukuze alandwe kuwebhusayithi yesisekelo noma i-SIL.
Ukuthembeka okukhulu lapho kushintshwana amadokhumenti ne-Microsoft Office
Ngokuhambisana, i-LibreOffice Chart manje isekela izinhlobo zamashadi zakamuva kakhulu ezibhalwa yi-Microsoft Office kumafayela e-OOXML : ibhokisi kanye ne-whisker, i-funnel, i-Pareto, i-sunburst, imephu yesihlahla, kanye ne-waterfall. I-suite ayikakwazi ukubonisa noma ukuhlela lawa mashadi, kodwa ikhombisa umlayezo okhomba uhlobo lweshadi futhi igcina incazelo yalo yangaphakathi, ngakho ifayela elivuliwe futhi eligcinwe ku-LibreOffice libuyiselwa liphelele ku-Microsoft Office. Amashadi amamephu esifunda ayizinto ezihlukile; ayasinda njengohlobo lweshadi kodwa alahlekelwa yidatha yawo eminingi yendawo.
I-Calc iphinde ithuthukise ukuphathwa kokuqhekeka kwemigqa kumaseli abhekiselwe ngaphakathi kwamafayela e-XLSX futhi manje ibonisa izilawuli zefomu ezifakiwe kuleyo fomethi ku-Navigator. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ingeza izinkambu ezibaliwe kumathebula e-pivot, ivumela ukuqinisekiswa kwedatha ukwenqaba buthule okufakiwe okungavumelekile (ukubuyisela ukuziphatha ngaphambi kwenguqulo 24.2), futhi ingeza umyalo wokushintsha okuqukethwe kobubanzi beseli ngokungahleliwe.
Isisekelo sigcizelela ukuthi ukulondoloza lokho okungakabonakali yikho okugcina idokhumenti isebenziseka ngale komjikelezo wokuphila wohlelo lokusebenza oluyidalile, uma kuqhathaniswa nengozi yokuthi imininingwane eyandiswe ngoyedwa ngumkhiqizi oyedwa iba yinto ehamba phambili kuzo zonke ezinye izinhlelo zokusebenza.
Ngaphandle kobuhlakani bokwenziwa kanye nangaphandle kwe-telemetry
I-LibreOffice 26.8 ayinazo izici ze-AI ezikhiqizayo . Amadokhumenti awadluliselwa kumasevisi akude, futhi akukho ngxenye yesuite edinga ukufinyelela kwenethiwekhi ukuze isebenze. Lesi simo sethulwa njengesinqumo sokuklama, hhayi umkhawulo wobuchwepheshe: noma iyiphi inhlangano ephatha idatha eyimfihlo, eyimfihlo, noma yomuntu siqu idinga ukwazi ukuthi lolo lwazi luya kuphi, futhi isiqinisekiso kuphela esingamelana nokuhlolwa ukuthi aluphumi kukhompyutha.
I-suite nayo ayinazikhangiso, ayinazo i-telemetry, ayinazo izikhokhelo, futhi ayidingi ukudalwa kwama-akhawunti. Azikho izici ezikhiyiwe ngemva kokukhokha. Isatshalaliswa ngaphansi kwe-Mozilla Public License v2 futhi ingafakwa ngaphandle kwemingcele ngabantu ngabanye, amabhizinisi, izikhungo zemfundo, kanye nezinhlangano zikahulumeni. Okusha kule nguqulo ibhanela lomnikelo e-Home Center , isikrini esivela lapho uvula i-suite ngaphandle kwamadokhumenti alayishiwe. Isaziso sivela njalo, isibonelo, nyanga zonke noma ngemva kokubuyekezwa, kanye nezixhumanisi eziya ekhasini lomnikelo.
Ukutholakala nokuthi iyiphi inguqulo okufanele uyifake
I-LibreOffice 26.8 iyatholakala ukuze ilandwe ngokushesha kwiwebhusayithi esemthethweni ngezinguqulo ze-x86-64 kanye ne-ARM64. Labo abasebenza ezindaweni zokukhiqiza bangase bakhethe ukuhlala ku-LibreOffice 26.2.5, nayo etholakala kuwebhusayithi efanayo; inguqulo 26.2.6 izokhishwa ngoSepthemba 3, 2026, futhi lelo gatsha lizophela ngoNovemba 30, 2026. Izinhlangano ezisebenzisa i-LibreOffice ngezinga zingakhetha izinguqulo zebhizinisi ezivela ezinkampanini ezingaphakathi kwendawo ezungezile, ezenzelwe izindawo eziphethwe futhi ezisekelwa yizivumelwano zezinga lesevisi, ukwesekwa kochwepheshe, kanye nezibuyekezo zokuphepha iminyaka emithathu kuya kwemihlanu.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, iNgqungquthela yeLibreOffice ka-2026 izobanjelwa ePordenone, e-Italy , kusukela mhla ziyi-10 kuya ku-12 kuMandulo 2026, izethulo zigxile ezicini ezintsha zale nguqulo, ukusetshenziswa kweLibreOffice kwezemfundo, kanye nezizathu zokuthi kungani ifomethi ye-ODF ibalulekile ekubuseni kwedijithali. Ukuze uthole imininingwane ephelele yobuchwepheshe, isisekelo sibhekisela kumanothi okukhululwa ashicilelwe ku-wiki yaso.
Ngalesi sibuyekezo, i-LibreOffice ikhombisa ukuthi kungenzeka ukusungula izinto ezintsha ekubhaleni nasekuhambisaneni ngaphandle kokuthembela ekuhlakanipheni kokwenziwa, ngenkathi igcina izimiso zayo zesofthiwe yamahhala kanye nokuzibophezela ekuziphatheni kwangasese. Ihlala iyindlela engcono kulabo abafuna ihhovisi eliphelele, lamahhala, nelinobungani nedatha.
