Builds
In this release, we are making changes to NeoOffice's underlying OpenOffice.org code. Also, new application and toolbar icons were added. Because of these changes, an upgrade patch would be excessive large so no upgrade patch will be released.
Task | Date Completed | Assigned | Status |

Verify that none of the NeoOffice 3.0.2 Early Access Intel build's executables or libraries link to any X11 libraries. Note: to do this task, install your latest NeoOffice build and, in a terminal, execute the following commands: sh cd /Applications/NeoOffice.app/Contents for i in `find . -type f`; do echo $i ; otool -L $i 2>&1 | grep X11; done If none of the binaries link to any X11 libraries, the above commands will only print a list of files. However, if you see any lines that look similar to the following, the file listed just before this type of line is linked to an X11 library and this must be correct before the NeoOffice binaries can be released. /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.6.dylib (compatibility version 6.2.0, current version 6.2.0) |

Mirrors
NeoOffice's rsync server is hosted on rsync.neooffice.org and our volunteer mirrors obtain the NeoOffice binaries by nightly runs of the following command on their mirrors:
rsync --archive --delete rsync://rsync.neooffice.org/neojavadownloads/ \ /path/to/NeoOffice/mirror/directory
Note that the NeoOffice Early Access Program main installer binaries are only mirrored on neooffice.org servers so using the above command will only copy the language pack and patch binaries.
