Current Version

The latest version of NeoOffice is: 3.2.

NeoOffice 3.2 requires an Intel Macintosh running Mac OS X 10.5.8 or higher. Some Aqua features will appear differently depending on your version of Mac OS X.

(NeoOffice 3.1.2 is still available for users with PowerPC Macs running Mac OS X 10.4.11 or 10.5.8 or Intel Macs running 10.4.11.)

You can find the MD5SUMs for current NeoOffice downloads (main binary, language packs, and patches) on the NeoOffice MD5 Checksums page.
