Collabora has released CODE 26.04, the preview edition of its web-based FOSS office suite. New features include optional AI integration (disabled by default), Markdown support, multi-page view in Writer, per-user spreadsheet views, smarter formula error handling, pivot table improvements, and enhanced accessibility. The release comes amid intensifying competition in the FOSS cloud office suite market, driven by European digital sovereignty concerns following Trump's re-election and Microsoft's planned axing of Office Online. The Document Foundation has revived LibreOffice Online to compete directly with Collabora, and Nextcloud/Ionos launched Euro-Office as a fork of ONLYOFFICE. Government and public sector money is fueling a feeding frenzy among FOSS office suite vendors.
