Its freedesktop.org repository history shows 0.0.x releases beginning in 2011, followed by the 0.1.0 line in 2014, when the NEWS file records a switch to librevenge. ### Adoption history libvisio matters mainly through LibreOffice and related document-conversion workflows. Rather than being a user-facing editor, it packages the hard format knowledge needed to import VSD, VSS, VSDX, and related Visio content into open document pipelines. ### How it is used The package ships small inspection and conversion tools such as vsd2raw, vsd2text, vsd2xhtml, vss2raw, vss2text, and vss2xhtml, but its primary use is as an import library linked by office/document tooling. ### Why package nerds care It is a good example of the Document Liberation Project pattern: isolate a proprietary office format parser into a reusable library so distributions and applications can share the maintenance burden. ### Timeline - 2011-06-23: libvisio-0.0.1 tag in the freedesktop.org repository. - 2014-05-23: libvisio-0.1.0 tag; NEWS records the switch to librevenge. - 2015-2019: 0.1.x releases added import fixes, fuzzing-driven crash fixes, Coverity fixes, and format support improvements. - 2025-09-23: libvisio-0.1.10 tag in the freedesktop.org repository. ### Related projects - LibreOffice is the main downstream office suite context. - librevenge is the document-library framework used by the 0.1 series. - The Document Liberation Project hosts related import libraries for other proprietary office formats. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes library-like package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low -
