As you know, this will be the final version of LO to have Semantic Versioning; all future releases will have Calendar Versioning.

Check out the Chocolatey package manager for Windows. It makes updates for all our common packages available through git/yum/brew easily installed/updated on Windows. PowerShell will never be anywhere near as nice as sitting at a proper linux terminal, but Chocolatey makes the Windows experience slightly more bearable when you need to use it.

Thanks for the pointer, I'll look into that.

I haven't really used Windows seriously since before they switched to NT, so I just have no idea what tools are available for it.

I just use winget to update Libreoffice since it’s already there in windows 10/11.

“Winget update LibreOffice” in a power shell terminal.

Updating it manually sucks.
