=== LibreOffice Online ===

LibreOffice Online is the [[online office suite]] edition of LibreOffice. It allows for the use of LibreOffice through a web browser by using the [[canvas element]] of [[HTML5]]. Development was announced at the first LibreOffice Conference in October 2011, and is ongoing.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://people.gnome.org/~michael/blog/2011-10-19.html |title=Stuff Michael Meeks is

=== Comparison with OpenOffice ===

A detailed 60-page report in June 2015 compared the progress of the LibreOffice project with the related project Apache OpenOffice. It showed that "OpenOffice received about 10% of the improvements LibreOffice did in the period of time studied."<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://ostatic.com/blog/apache-openoffice-versus-libreoffice |title=Apache OpenOffice versus LibreOffice |last=Linton |first=Susan |date=5 June 2015 |website=OStatic |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160816050447/http://ostatic.com/blog/apache-openoffice-versus-libreoffice |archive-date=16 August 2016 |access-date=22 June 2015 |quote=OpenOffice received about 10% of the improvements LibreOffice did in the period of time studied. |url-status=live }}</ref>

=== Supported file formats ===
As its native file format to save documents for all of its applications, LibreOffice uses the Open Document Format for Office Applications (ODF), or [[OpenDocument]], an [[international standard]] developed jointly by the [[International Organization for Standardization]] (ISO) and the [[International Electrotechnical Commission]] (IEC). LibreOffice also supports the file formats of most other major office suites, including [[Microsoft Office]], through a variety of import and export filters.<ref>{{Cite web|date=8 April 2013|title=About Converting Microsoft Office Documents|url=https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/About_Converting_Microsoft_Office_Documents|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181118095559/https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/About_Converting_Microsoft_Office_Documents|archive-date=18 November 2018|access-date=16 February 2014|website=LibreOffice Help|publisher=The Document Foundation}}</ref><ref name="LOFeatures" />

=== Miscellaneous features ===

LibreOffice can use the [[GStreamer]] multimedia framework in Linux to render multimedia content such as videos in Impress and other programs.

Visually, LibreOffice used the large "[[Tango Desktop Project|Tango]] style" icons that are used for the application shortcuts, quick launch icons, icons for associated files and for the icons found on the toolbar of the LibreOffice programs in the past,<ref name="tango">{{Cite web |url=http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Showroom#OpenOffice.org |title=Tango style OpenOffice.org |date=12 September 2008 |publisher=Tango.freedesktop.org |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150906111805/http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Showroom#OpenOffice.org |archive-date=6 September 2015 |access-date=16 November 2011}}</ref><ref name="ooo3">{{Cite web |url=http://ui.openoffice.org/nonav/VisualDesign/OOo30MimeType.html |title=OpenOffice.org 3.0 icons |publisher=Ui.openoffice.org |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20110727154913/http://ui.openoffice.org/nonav/VisualDesign/OOo30MimeType.html |archive-date=27 July 2011 |access-date=16 November 2011}}</ref> and used on the toolbars and menus by default. They were later replaced by multiple icon themes to adapt the look and feel of specific desktop environment, such as Colibre for Windows, and Elementary for GNOME.<ref name="lo6.1" />

LibreOffice also ships with a modified theme which looks native on GTK-based Linux distributions. It also renders fonts via [[cairo (graphics)|Cairo]] on Linux distributions; this means that text in LibreOffice is rendered the same as the rest of the Linux desktop.<ref name="LibreOffice34" />

With version 6.2, LibreOffice includes a toolbar-style GUI, called Notebookbar, including three different views.<ref name="lo6.2"/>
This feature has formerly been included as an experimental feature in LibreOffice 6 (experimental features must be enabled from LibreOffice settings to make the option available in the View menu).<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/6.0#Notebookbar |title=LibreOffice 6.0: Release Notes – The Document Foundation Wiki |website=wiki.documentfoundation.org |access-date=23 November 2018 |archive-date=28 November 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201128150641/https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/6.0#Notebookbar |url-status=live }}</ref>

LibreOffice has a feature similar to [[WordArt]] called ''Fontwork''.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Fontwork_For_Graphical_Text_Art |title=Fontwork For Graphical Text Art |publisher=LibreOffice |access-date=20 October 2014 |archive-date=2 November 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141102141825/https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Fontwork_For_Graphical_Text_Art |url-status=live }}</ref>

LibreOffice uses [[HarfBuzz]] for [[complex text layout]], it was first introduced in 4.1 for Linux and 5.3 for Windows and macOS.<ref name="LO4.1"/><ref name="lo5.3"/> Fonts with [[OpenType]], [[Apple Advanced Typography]] or [[Graphite (smart font technology)|SIL Graphite]] features can be switched by either a syntax in the Font Name input box<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Smart_font_optional_features_for_Graphite_and_OpenType_fonts |title=Smart font optional features for Graphite and OpenType fonts - The Document Foundation Wiki |website=wiki.documentfoundation.org |access-date=9 March 2020 |archive-date=19 May 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200519205908/https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Smart_font_optional_features_for_Graphite_and_OpenType_fonts |url-status=live }}</ref> or the Font Features dialog from the Character dialog.

LibreOffice supports a "hybrid PDF" format, a file in [[Portable Document Format]] (PDF) which can be read by any program supporting PDF, but also contains the source document in ODF format, editable in LibreOffice by dragging and dropping.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Faq/Writer/PDF_Hybrid|title=FAQ - Writer|website=The Document Foundation Wiki|access-date=5 September 2020|archive-date=20 September 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200920000746/https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Faq/Writer/PDF_Hybrid|url-status=live}}</ref>

=== Licensing ===

The LibreOffice project uses a dual [[LGPL]]v3 (or later) / MPL 2.0 license for new contributions to allow the license to be upgraded.<ref name="LODevelopers">{{Cite web |url=https://www.libreoffice.org/developers-2/ |title=Developers |publisher=[[The Document Foundation]] |access-date=30 March 2012 |archive-date=2 April 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120402111717/http://www.libreoffice.org/developers-2 |url-status=live }}</ref> Since the core of the OpenOffice.org codebase was donated to the [[Apache Software Foundation]], there is an ongoing effort to get all the code rebased to ease future license updates. At the same time, there were complaints that [[IBM]] had not in fact released the [[IBM Lotus Symphony|Lotus Symphony]] code as open source, despite having claimed to. It was reported that some LibreOffice developers wanted to incorporate some code parts and bug fixes which IBM already fixed in their OpenOffice fork.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://lwn.net/Articles/532665/ |title=A discordant symphony |last=Corbet |first=Jonathan |date=16 January 2013 |publisher=[[LWN.net]] |access-date=9 February 2013 |archive-date=24 February 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130224021305/http://lwn.net/Articles/532665/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

=== Scripting and extensions ===

LibreOffice supports third-party extensions.<ref>{{Cite mailing list |url=http://extensions.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?listName=dev&msgNo=142 |title=.oxt, .uno.pkg, .zip |date=7 July 2006 |access-date=10 August 2007 |last=Bergmann |first=Stephan |mailing-list=dev@extensions.openoffice.org |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090505232034/http://extensions.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?listName=dev&msgNo=142 |archive-date=5 May 2009}}</ref> {{As of|2017|07}}, the LibreOffice Extension Repository lists more than 320 extensions.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://extensions.libreoffice.org/extensions/ |title=Extensions – LibreOffice Extensions |publisher=The Document Foundation |access-date=3 January 2019 |archive-date=26 January 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190126113439/https://extensions.libreoffice.org/extensions |url-status=live }}</ref> Another list is maintained by the [[Apache Software Foundation]]<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://extensions.openoffice.org/ |title=Apache OpenOffice Extensions |publisher=Apache OpenOffice |access-date=3 January 2019 |archive-date=27 April 2006 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060427152926/https://extensions.openoffice.org/ |url-status=live }}</ref> and another one by the [[Free Software Foundation]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:OpenOfficeExtensions/List |title=Group:OpenOfficeExtensions/List |publisher=Free Software Foundation |access-date=3 January 2019 |archive-date=23 December 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181223000148/https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:OpenOfficeExtensions/List |url-status=live }}</ref> Extensions and scripts for LibreOffice can be written in C++, Java, [[Common Language Infrastructure|CLI]], Python, and [[LibreOffice Basic]]. [[Interpreter (computing)|Interpreters]] for the latter two are bundled with most LibreOffice installers, so no additional installation is needed. The [[application programming interface]] for LibreOffice is called "[[Universal Network Objects|UNO]]" and is extensively documented.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://api.libreoffice.org/ |title=LibreOffice API Documentation |publisher=The Document Foundation |access-date=26 June 2015 |archive-date=27 June 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150627132848/http://api.libreoffice.org/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

=== LibreOffice Basic ===

[[LibreOffice Basic]] is a [[programming language]] similar to Microsoft [[Visual Basic for Applications]] (VBA) but based on [[StarOffice Basic]]. It is available in Writer, Calc and Base. It is used to write small programs known as "macros", with each macro performing a different task, such as counting the words in a paragraph.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.linux.com/articles/48258 |title=An introduction to OpenOffice.org Basic |last=Bain |first=Mark Alexander |website=NewsForge |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071029053258/http://www.linux.com/articles/48258 |archive-date=29 October 2007 |access-date=3 March 2007}}</ref>

=== ooo-build, Go-oo and Oracle ===

Members of the OpenOffice.org community who were not [[Sun Microsystems]] employees had wanted a more egalitarian form for the OpenOffice.org project for many years; Sun had stated in the original OpenOffice.org announcement in 2000 that the project would eventually be run by a neutral foundation<ref name="ooo-announcement">{{Cite web |url=http://www.openoffice.org/press/sun_release.html |title=Sun Microsystems Open Sources StarOffice Technology |date=19 July 2000 |publisher=Sun Microsystems |access-date=19 January 2012 |archive-date=14 November 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111114053747/http://www.openoffice.org/press/sun_release.html |url-status=live }}</ref> and put forward a more detailed proposal in 2001.<ref name="ooofoundation">{{Cite web |url=http://www.openoffice.org/white_papers/OOo_project/openofficefoundation.html |title=The OpenOffice.org Foundation |date=4 November 2001 |publisher=Sun Microsystems |access-date=9 October 2013 |archive-date=21 September 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130921102841/http://www.openoffice.org/white_papers/OOo_project/openofficefoundation.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

[[Ximian]] and then [[Novell]] had maintained the ooo-build [[Patch (computing)|patch]] set, a project led by [[Michael Meeks (software developer)|Michael Meeks]], to make the build easier on [[Linux]] and due to the difficulty of getting contributions accepted upstream by Sun, even from corporate partners. It tracked the main line of development and was not intended to constitute a fork.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://ooo.ximian.com/ooo-build.html |title=About ooo-build |date=18 October 2003 |publisher=[[Ximian]] |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20031018013700/http://ooo.ximian.com/ooo-build.html |archive-date=18 October 2003 |access-date=5 January 2013}}</ref> It was also the standard build mechanism for OpenOffice.org in most [[Linux distribution]]s<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://tuxdeluxe.org/node/184 |title=Meek not geek – Interview with Michael Meeks of OpenOffice.org |last=James |first=Daniel |date=7 May 2007 |website=Tux Deluxe |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130929232956/http://www.tuxdeluxe.org/node/184 |archive-date=29 September 2013 |access-date=1 October 2013}}</ref> and was contributed to by said distributions.<ref>{{Cite conference |last=Meeks |first=Michael |date=24 July 2004 |title=The World of OpenOffice |url=http://www.linuxsymposium.org/archives/OLS/Reprints-2004/Reprint-Meeks-OLS2004.pdf |conference=Linux Symposium 2004 |location=Ottawa, Ontario |volume=2 |pages=361–366 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140502012130/http://www.linuxsymposium.org/archives/OLS/Reprints-2004/Reprint-Meeks-OLS2004.pdf |archive-date=2 May 2014 |access-date=17 April 2015 |conference-url=http://www.linuxsymposium.org/archives/OLS/Reprints-2004/ |editor=John W. Lockhart |book-title=Proceedings of the Linux Symposium}}</ref>

In 2007, ooo-build was made available by Novell as a software package called [[Go-oo]] (ooo-build had used the go-oo.org [[domain name]] as early as 2005<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://lwn.net/Articles/121441/ |title=ooo-build 1.3.8 Announced |last=Meeks |first=Michael |date=28 January 2005 |publisher=LWN.net |access-date=1 October 2013 |archive-date=4 October 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131004231252/http://lwn.net/Articles/121441/ |url-status=live }}</ref>), which included many features not included in upstream OpenOffice.org. Go-oo also encouraged outside contributions, with rules similar to those later adopted for LibreOffice.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.h-online.com/open/features/Calling-a-cat-a-dog-746843.html |title=Healthcheck: OpenOffice: Calling a cat a dog |last=Hillesley |first=Richard |date=29 January 2009 |website=The H Open |page=4 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131208000702/http://www.h-online.com/open/features/Calling-a-cat-a-dog-746843.html |archive-date=8 December 2013 |access-date=26 June 2013}}</ref>

Sun was purchased by [[Oracle Corporation]] in early 2010. OpenOffice.org community members were concerned by Oracle's behaviour towards open source software, specifically the [[Oracle v.

=== The Document Foundation and LibreOffice ===
On 28 September 2010, [[The Document Foundation]] was announced as the host of LibreOffice, a new derivative of OpenOffice.org. The Document Foundation's initial announcement stated their concerns that Oracle would either discontinue OpenOffice.org, or place restrictions on it as an open source project, as it had on Sun's [[OpenSolaris]].<ref name="doc foundation announcement">{{Cite web |url=http://www.documentfoundation.org/contact/tdf_release.html |title=OpenOffice.org Community announces The Document Foundation |date=28 September 2010 |publisher=The Document Foundation |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100930085933/http://www.documentfoundation.org/contact/tdf_release.html |archive-date=30 September 2010 |access-date=9 November 2011}}</ref><ref name="collins-29-09-10">{{Cite news |url=http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/361516/openoffice-group-breaks-away-from-oracle |title=OpenOffice group breaks away from Oracle |last=Collins |first=Barry |access-date=9 November 2011 |publisher=PC Pro |archive-date=8 July 2012 |archive-url=https://www.webcitation.org/68zypuPkJ?url=http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/361516/openoffice-group-breaks-away-from-oracle |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="Clarke-29-09-10">{{Cite news |url=https://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/09/28/openoffice_independence_from_oracle/ |title=OpenOffice files Oracle divorce papers |last=Clarke |first=Gavin |work=The Register |access-date=9 November 2011 |archive-date=8 July 2012 |archive-url=https://www.webcitation.org/68zyqvOlP?url=http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/09/28/openoffice_independence_from_oracle/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="Paul-28-09-10">{{Cite news |url=https://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2010/09/document-foundation-forks-openofficeorg-to-liberate-it-from-oracle.ars |title=Document Foundation forks OpenOffice.org, liberates it from Oracle |last=Paul |first=Ryan |access-date=9 November 2011 |publisher=Ars Technica |archive-date=8 July 2012 |archive-url=https://www.webcitation.org/68zyrgr31?url=http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2010/09/document-foundation-forks-openofficeorg-to-liberate-it-from-oracle/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

LibreOffice 3.3 beta used the ooo-build build infrastructure and the OpenOffice.org 3.3 beta code from Oracle, then adding selected patches from Go-oo.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://standardsandfreedom.net/index.php/2010/09/28/give-up-spoon-feeding-use-a-fork-instead/ |title=Give up spoon-feeding: Use a fork instead. |last=Schulz |first=Charles-H. |date=28 September 2010 |website=Standards and Freedom (blog) |access-date=7 October 2013 |archive-date=17 October 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131017161354/http://standardsandfreedom.net/index.php/2010/09/28/give-up-spoon-feeding-use-a-fork-instead/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Go-oo was discontinued in favour of LibreOffice. Since the office suite that was branded "OpenOffice.org" in most Linux distributions was in fact Go-oo, most moved immediately to LibreOffice.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://lwn.net/Articles/407339/ |title=Michael Meeks talks about LibreOffice and the Document Foundation |last=Edge |first=Jake |date=28 September 2010 |publisher=Linux Weekly News |access-date=21 July 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180928121520/https://lwn.net/Articles/407339/ |archive-date=28 September 2018 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Oracle was invited to become a member of The Document Foundation. However, Oracle demanded that all members of the OpenOffice.org Community Council involved with The Document Foundation step down from the OOo Community Council, claiming a conflict of interest.<ref name="ArsTechnica1010">{{Cite news |url=https://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2010/10/oracle-wants-libreoffice-members-to-leave-ooo-council.ars |title=Oracle wants LibreOffice members to leave OOo council |last=Paul |first=Ryan |work=Ars Technica |access-date=23 February 2011 |archive-date=8 July 2012 |archive-url=https://www.webcitation.org/68zyuuGVp?url=http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2010/10/oracle-wants-libreoffice-members-to-leave-ooo-council/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

==== Naming ====

The name "LibreOffice" was picked after researching trademark databases and social media, as well as after checks were made to see if it could be used for [[URL]]s in various countries.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://luxate.blogspot.de/2010/10/agreeing-on-childs-name-simple-task.html |title=Agreeing on the child's name ... a simple task? |last=Noack |first=Christoph |date=3 October 2010 |access-date=28 September 2015 |archive-date=29 September 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150929044556/http://luxate.blogspot.de/2010/10/agreeing-on-childs-name-simple-task.html |url-status=live }}</ref> Oracle rejected requests to donate the OpenOffice.org brand to the project.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/announce/msg00000.html |title=OpenOffice.org Community announces The Document Foundation |date=28 September 2010 |publisher=[[The Document Foundation]] |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110906011930/http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/announce/msg00000.html |archive-date=6 September 2011 |access-date=21 October 2010}}</ref>

LibreOffice was initially named BrOffice in Brazil. OpenOffice.org had been distributed as BrOffice.org by the ''BrOffice Centre of Excellence for Free Software'' because of a trademark issue.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://blog.documentfoundation.org/2010/12/06/libreoffice-development-extends-to-brazil/ |title=LibreOffice development extends to Brazil |last=Effenberger |first=Florian |date=6 December 2010 |website=TDF Blog |publisher=The Document Foundation |access-date=29 May 2012 |archive-date=17 March 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120317124020/http://blog.documentfoundation.org/2010/12/06/libreoffice-development-extends-to-brazil/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

=== End of OpenOffice.org and beginning of Apache OpenOffice ===

Oracle announced in April 2011 that it was ending its development of OpenOffice.org and would lay off the majority of its paid developers.<ref name="ARS18Apr11">{{Cite news |url=https://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2011/04/oracle-gives-up-on-ooo-after-community-forks-the-project.ars |title=Oracle gives up on OpenOffice after community forks the project |last=Paul |first=Ryan |date=April 2011 |work=[[Ars Technica]] |access-date=19 April 2011 |archive-date=21 April 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110421024120/http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2011/04/oracle-gives-up-on-ooo-after-community-forks-the-project.ars |url-status=live }}</ref> In June 2011, Oracle announced that it would donate the OpenOffice.org code and trademark to the [[Apache Software Foundation]],<ref>{{Cite press release |title=Statements on OpenOffice.org Contribution to Apache |date=1 June 2011 |publisher=Oracle Corporation |url=http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/statements-on-openofficeorg-contribution-to-apache-nasdaq-orcl-1521400.htm |access-date=14 October 2011 |archive-date=6 June 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110606030535/http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/statements-on-openofficeorg-contribution-to-apache-nasdaq-orcl-1521400.htm |url-status=live }}</ref> where the project was accepted for a [[Apache Incubator|project incubation process]] within the foundation, thus becoming [[Apache OpenOffice]]. In an interview with [[LWN.net|LWN]] in May 2011, Ubuntu founder [[Mark Shuttleworth]] blamed The Document Foundation for destroying OpenOffice.org because it did not license its code under Oracle's [[Contributor License Agreement]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://lwn.net/Articles/442782/ |title=Mark Shuttleworth on companies and free software |last=Edge |first=Jake |publisher=LWN |access-date=7 May 2014 |archive-date=25 April 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140425051821/https://lwn.net/Articles/442782/ |url-status=live }}</ref> In opposition to Shuttleworth's view, the former Sun executive [[Simon Phipps (programmer)|Simon Phipps]] argued in the interview for the same online magazine, that the lay-off was an inevitable business decision by Oracle, not impacted by existence of LibreOffice.<ref name="Phipps20May11">{{Cite news|last=Phipps|first=Simon|author-link=Simon Phipps (programmer)|date=May 2011|title=OpenOffice.org and contributor agreements|publisher=LWN.net|url=https://lwn.net/Articles/443989/|url-status=live|access-date=29 January 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140430141822/http://lwn.net/Articles/443989/|archive-date=30 April 2014}}</ref>

In March 2015, an LWN.net comparison of LibreOffice with its cousin project Apache OpenOffice concluded that "LibreOffice has won the battle for developer participation".<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://lwn.net/Articles/637735/ |title=Development activity in LibreOffice and OpenOffice |last=Corbet |first=Jonathan |date=15 March 2015 |access-date=20 June 2015 |publisher=LWN.net |archive-date=30 September 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180930063841/https://lwn.net/Articles/637735/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

=== Mascot competition ===

In late 2017 The Document Foundation held a competition for the new mascot of LibreOffice. The mascot was to be used primarily by the community, and was not intended to supersede existing logos for the project. Over 300 concepts were submitted before the first evaluation phase.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://design.blog.documentfoundation.org/2017/11/13/mascot-iteration/|title=LibreOffice Mascot: Iterating the submissions|date=13 November 2017|website=The Document Foundation Blog|access-date=27 March 2018|archive-date=27 March 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180327213552/https://design.blog.documentfoundation.org/2017/11/13/mascot-iteration/|url-status=live}}</ref>

The mascot contest was cancelled soon after new submissions stopped being accepted. The Document Foundation cited their lack of clear rules and arguments among community members as their reasoning for cancelling the contest.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Vignoli|first=Italo|url=https://design.blog.documentfoundation.org/2017/11/20/statement-mascot-project/|title=Statement about LibreOffice Mascot Project - LibreOffice Design Team|date=20 November 2017|website=LibreOffice Design Team Blog|access-date=16 May 2020|archive-date=3 August 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200803052409/https://design.blog.documentfoundation.org/2017/11/20/statement-mascot-project/|url-status=live}}</ref>

== Versions ==
Since March 2014 and version 4.2.2, two different major "released" versions of LibreOffice are available at any time in addition to development versions (numbered release candidates and dated nightly builds).<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.computerworlduk.com/blogs/simon-says/libreoffice-gets-fresh-and-stable-3569636/ |title=LibreOffice Gets Fresh and Stable |last=Phipps |first=Simon |date=13 March 2014 |publisher=ComputerworldUK |access-date=2 April 2014 |archive-date=16 September 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150916225954/http://www.computerworlduk.com/blogs/simon-says/libreoffice-gets-fresh-and-stable-3569636/ |url-status=live }}</ref> The versions are designated to signal their appropriateness for differing user requirements.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.libreoffice.org/download/release-notes/ |title=Release Notes |publisher=The Document Foundation |access-date=16 February 2018 |archive-date=4 February 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130204083151/http://www.libreoffice.org/download/release-notes |url-status=live }}</ref> Releases are designated by three numbers separated by dots. The first two numbers represent the major version (branch) number, and the final number indicates the bugfix releases made in that series. LibreOffice designates the two release versions as:

* "[[Software release life cycle#Beta|Fresh]]" – the most recent major version (branch), which contains the latest enhancements but which may have introduced [[software bug|bugs]] not present in the "still" release.
* "Still" (formerly "Stable") – the prior major version, which, by the time it has become the "still" version, has had around six months of bug fixing. It is recommended for users for whom stability is more important than the latest enhancements.

=== Release schedule ===
LibreOffice uses a [[time-based release schedule]] for predictability, rather than a "when it's ready" schedule. New major versions are released around every six months, in January or February and July or August of each year. The initial intention was to release in March and September, to align with the schedule of other free software projects.<ref name="releaseplan">{{Cite web |url=https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan |title=Release Plan |website=The Document Foundation Wiki |access-date=25 March 2011 |archive-date=1 May 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190501164048/https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan |url-status=live }}</ref>
Minor bugfix versions of the "fresh" and "still" release branches are released frequently.

=== Enterprise support ===
Commercially-supported distributions for LibreOffice with [[Service-level agreement|service-level agreements]] are available via partners such as [[Collabora]] (marketed as Collabora Office and [[Collabora Online]]), CIB (marketed as LibreOffice powered by CIB on the [[Microsoft Store]] for [[Windows 10]]), and [[Red Hat]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=Marketing|first=Autor CIB|date=2019-08-08|title=CIB announces LibreOffice on the Microsoft Store|url=https://blog.cib.de/2019/08/08/cib-announces-libreoffice-on-the-microsoft-store/|access-date=2021-02-07|website=CIB blog|language=de-DE|archive-date=17 February 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210217144011/https://blog.cib.de/2019/08/08/cib-announces-libreoffice-on-the-microsoft-store/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name=":0">{{Cite web|last=Tung|first=Liam|title=Open-source LibreOffice tells businesses: Get off our Community version, you are hurting development|url=https://www.zdnet.com/article/open-source-libreoffice-tells-businesses-get-off-our-community-version-you-are-hurting-development/|access-date=2021-02-07|website=ZDNet|language=en|archive-date=7 February 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210207141009/https://www.zdnet.com/article/open-source-libreoffice-tells-businesses-get-off-our-community-version-you-are-hurting-development/|url-status=live}}</ref> The three vendors are major corporate contributors to the LibreOffice project.<ref name=":0" />

As of version 7.1, the open source release of LibreOffice is officially branded as "LibreOffice Community", in order to emphasize that the releases are intended primarily for personal individual use, and are "not targeted at enterprises, and not optimized for their support needs". The Document Foundation states that usage of the community versions in such settings "has had a two-fold negative consequence for the project: a poor use of volunteers' time, as they have to spend their time to solve problems for business that provide nothing in return to the community, and a net loss for ecosystem companies."<ref name=":0" />

The figure shows the worldwide number of LibreOffice users from 2011 to 2018 in millions. References are in the text.

'''2011''': The Document Foundation estimated in September 2011, that there were 10 million users worldwide who had obtained LibreOffice via [[download]]s or [[CD-ROM]]s. Over 90% of those were on Windows, with another 5% on [[OS X]]. LibreOffice is the default office suite for most [[Linux distribution]]s, and is installed when the [[operating system]] is installed or updated. Based on [[International Data Corporation]] reckonings for new or updated Linux installations in 2011, The Document Foundation estimated a subtotal of 15 million Linux users. This gave a total estimated user base of 25&nbsp;million users in 2011.<ref name="1st ann">{{Cite web |url=http://blog.documentfoundation.org/2011/09/28/the-document-foundation-celebrates-its-first-anniversary/ |title=The Document Foundation celebrates its first anniversary |date=28 September 2011 |website=The Document Foundation Blog |access-date=28 September 2011 |archive-date=1 October 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111001154739/http://blog.documentfoundation.org/2011/09/28/the-document-foundation-celebrates-its-first-anniversary/ |url-status=live }}</ref> In 2011, the Document Foundation set a target of 200 million users worldwide before the end of 2020.<ref name="1st ann" />

=== Mass deployments ===
LibreOffice has seen various major deployments since its inception:

'''2003–2010'''
* In 2003–2004, the Brazilian corporation [[Serpro]] started migrating its software to BrOffice (the local version of LibreOffice at the time), with estimated value of [[BRL]] 3.5&nbsp;million (approximately US$1.2&nbsp;million at the time), and became a [[case study]] for similar initiatives in Brazil, particularly in [[e-government]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.softwarelivre.gov.br/casos/serpro/adocao-do-broffice-no-serpro |title=Histórico do BrOffice.org no SERPRO |last=de Lima |first=Francival Rodrigues |publisher=softwarelivre.gov.br |language=pt |format=PDF |access-date=26 July 2013 |archive-date=2 July 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130702222411/http://www.softwarelivre.gov.br/casos/serpro/adocao-do-broffice-no-serpro |url-status=live }}</ref>

* In 2010, the Irish city of [[Limerick]] gradually started migrating to open-source solutions to free itself from [[vendor lock-in]] and improve its purchase negotiation power. One of the key aspects of this move has been the use of LibreOffice.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://joinup.ec.europa.eu/news/limerick-city-council-increasingly-turning-open-source |title=Limerick city council increasingly turning to open source |date=19 March 2012 |publisher=European Union |access-date=12 February 2013 |archive-date=23 March 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170323132008/https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/news/limerick-city-council-increasingly-turning-open-source |url-status=live }}</ref>

'''2011'''
* The administrative authority of the [[Île-de-France]] region (which includes the city of Paris) included LibreOffice in a [[USB flash drive]] given to students which contains free open-source software. The USB flash drive is given to approximately 800,000 students.<ref name="ars_technica" /><ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.zdnet.com/news/libreoffice-expands-users-and-reach/6316162 |title=LibreOffice expands users and reach |last=Shankland |first=Stephen |date=18 October 2011 |access-date=9 May 2012 |publisher=[[ZDNet]] |archive-date=6 October 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141006133722/http://www.zdnet.com/news/libreoffice-expands-users-and-reach/6316162 |url-status=live }}</ref>
