The Document Foundation has released LibreOffice 26.2.7, the seventh and last maintenance update to the 26.2 series, which addresses 20 bugs. The release adds support for Web Query (.iqy) files in Calc and fixes several DOCX round-trip problems.
Why it matters

The release upgrades the bundled Python interpreter to version 3.12.16 and addresses 20 bugs, with the previous 26.2.6 update arriving two months earlier. Details on individual bug fixes are documented in the RC1, RC2, and RC3 changelogs.
