Uuuhhhhh wait. So there have been 17 new versions released and people with 7.6 installs just missed it? I think I still have a 7.6 install and this is the first I've heard of this. I would love to know the history of how people are being advised to go from 7 to 24.

I think 24 is just the next version as it seemed to go from 7.6 to 24.1

Edit: checked the wiki page, I guess 24 = 2024?

Ah, thank you, that makes a lot more sense. I guess I could've done like... the bare minimum of research or something.

Posting something wrong on the internet is the best form of research.

My level of research was to come to the comments hoping someone had explained the weird numbering jump already.

I'm doing my part I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is correct

Since January 2024 and version 24.2.0, LibreOffice use calendar-based release numbering scheme
