Older Patches

NeoOffice 1.2 Alpha includes all of the fixes previously available in NeoOffice/J 1.1 with Patch-3-With-Java-1.4.x-Update-2, but it is based off of the OpenOffice.org 1.1.5 codebase and requires a new, full download.

New Features in NeoOffice 1.2 Alpha

If you have not downloaded a release of NeoOffice since version 1.1, there are dozens of new features in NeoOffice 1.2 Alpha. Some of the most significant include:

• Decreased memory and CPU usage
• Reduced time before the splash screen appears
• Improved performance in some areas, especially drawing
• Uses Java 1.4.2
• Ability to print embedded EPS files
• Numerous printing fixes
• Improved support for international keyboard layouts
• Font-handling improvements
• Enhanced copy and paste support
• Improved compatibility with voice dictation software (iListen, ViaVoice)
• Based on OpenOffice.org 1.1.5 codebase
• Support for reading OpenDocument (aka OpenOffice.org 2.0) file formats
• Spotlight support for OpenDocument formats via NeoLight 1.1
• Requires Mac OS X 10.3 or newer

  Due to our limited resources and the bugginess of Java 1.4.1 on Mac OS X 10.2.x, we are no longer able to support Mac OS X 10.2
