LibreOffice releases new versions in short cycles.

Therefore, it is sometimes difficult to find out which features were added and when they were changed.

Therefore, I have converted the release information into graph theory nodes and relationships in order to intuitively identify changes in features.

Convert all features into nodes and relationships.

Using graph theory, you can see when a huge number of features have been added, changed, or removed.

You can see that LibreOffice does a great job.


First, convert the release notes to nodes and relationships in graph theory.

Then, convert for all versions.

All version of LibreOffice be a node.
Versions are connected in release order.
Connects all versions with a feature.

What has changed between LibreOffice 7.2.7 and 7.3.5?

From which version is the ability to filter cells by background color or text color in the auto-filter?

Which versions have been deprecated in favor of macOS 10.10 and 10.11?

OpenOffice can be converted as well and compared to LibreOffice.
