LibreOffice 26.8 released

Version26.8 of the LibreOffice suite has been released.

LibreOffice 26.8 concentrates on three areas: the typographic quality of whatthe suite produces, the range of writing systems it handles correctly, and thefidelity with which documents survive exchange with other office suites.

The largest single body of work in this release addresses bidirectional andcomplex text. Writer now detects paragraph direction automatically whendocuments or plain text are opened or pasted. Line wrapping places end-of-linespaces according to the direction of the paragraph rather than that of theadjacent characters. Object resize handles behave correctly in right-to-left andvertical CJK documents. Bidirectional control characters are now visiblealongside other formatting marks. In Calc, typing right-to-left text into anempty cell sets the direction of that cell automatically.
