Libreoffice switched to a date-based versioning scheme (ish) and launched v24.2 sometime in late-January/early-February 2024. The first bug fix release, v24.2.1, was released on 29 February 2024.
It appears that v7.6 - which is currently the "Fresh" line on chocolatey - is now considered Stable/Still.
See the note in the package description:
The libreoffice-still package has been updated to the v6.7.x minor version, as the update service has made it available to those on the still channel/stream. However, I just checked my Libreoffice Fresh installation, and it looks like they have not made the v24.x.y major version available via the update service yet. As it is not available yet via the update service, the package is not out of date, so this issue is not valid for the moment.
This issue could be reopened if the status changes in the future and the package does not get automatically updated.
@TheCakeIsNaOH I did notice the disclaimer about the update delay but I figured 1.5 months seemed long enough for the new version to hit the updater.... apparently not :)
@TheCakeIsNaOH Libreoffice Fresh and Still are now the same version. I unfortunately have no insight into the LibreOffice updater but is it possible they're not offering a direct upgrade path from v7 -> v24?

That is something you would have to ask The Document Foundation about (developers of LibreOffice).
To my understanding, the current package update mechanism was created at their request, as they desired the Chocolatey package not be updated until the version was available on the update api.
