By using an improved version of the HFI map-making code, we greatly reduce the residual large-scale contamination a ffecting the data, characterised in, but not fully removed from, the Planck 2018 legacy release. This brings the dipole distortion systematic e ffect, contaminating the very low multipoles, below the noise level. On large-scale polarization-only data, we measure tau = 0.0566(-0).(+0)(0062).(0053) at 68% C.L., reducing the Planck 2018 legacy release uncertainty by similar to 40%. Within the Lambda CDM model, in combination with the Planck large-scale temperature likelihood, and the high-l temperature and polarization likelihood, we measure tau = 0.059 +/- 0.006 at 68% C.L., which corresponds to a mid-point reionization redshift of z(re) = 8.14 +/- 0.61 at 68% C.L. This estimation of the reionization optical depth with 10% accuracy is the strongest constraint to date.
