Hi Italo,
the change from 6.x to 7.0 happens together with the change from ODF 1.2
to ODF 1.3. If the decision it to keep this kind of numbering, I think a
change to 8.0 should happen when LibreOffice starts support for ODF 1.4.
ODF 1.4 will hopefully be released end of 2024.
Kind regards,

I totally understand Italo's frustration. I also hate when I am expected to make a decision and people, who were absolutely silent and
indifferent before, suddenly start to verbalise their opinion, which "happens to be" different from mine.
Regarding the version number, I think people who liked
I have been asked to provide my opinion by developers, who seem to think that
the change of version has to be a marketing decision. As I have said quite
clearly, I am pissed off by the current situation, where I am asked to take a
decision and then I am blamed because I take one. I leave the

I respectfully disagree with Italo.
First, about the "frame of reference". In my opinion, decisions such as
major version number bumping are not, first and foremost, marketing
decisions. That is a _consideration_, since the version number is
declarative than technical. But - such an action

As an ironical kick in the soft underbelly of commercial progams one
might emphasise that there also are trivial changes warranting a
numerical advance.

For little that I am involved with LibreOffice itself,
I feel like this would be nice move -
You can take this as a non-formal feedback of the
casual user public: +1 for 8.0, even without a lot

Moving to LibreOffice 8 (instead of 7.6) makes sense for marketing
purposes, as media is looking at LibreOffice as the real innovator in
the open source office suite market, and the feeling of journalists is
that we are forever stuck at 7.x.
We all know that the next version will not include
