NeoOffice® 2.0 Aqua Beta 3 Released
August 29, 2006
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NeoOffice: Better, Faster, Aquafied!
Sunnyvale, California, USA - Planamesa Software and the NeoOffice community are proud to announce NeoOffice® 2.0 Aqua Beta 3, the first public release of an "Aquafied" version of our Mac OS X-native port of the OpenOffice.org office suite. NeoOffice 2.0 Aqua Beta includes Microsoft Office-compatible word processing, spreadsheet and presentation applications, as well as drawing and database applications and macro support.
NeoOffice 2.0 Aqua Beta 3 offers a significantly enhanced "Aqua" appearance, enhanced international input support, as well as significantly improved overall performance over NeoOffice 1.2. Based on the latest stable OpenOffice.org codebase (2.0.3), this release also include native open and save dialog support for reading and writing files in the international standard ISO 26300 OpenDocument (ODF) file formats.

NeoOffice 2.0 Aqua Beta 3 is now available for two processors: PowerPC or Intel Macs running Mac OS X 10.3 or higher.
