Builds
In this release, the total size of the binaries that have bug fixes since we released NeoOffice 3.1.1 Beta is quite large. So, in order to make room available for any NeoOffice 3.1.1 patches, no upgrade patch will be released.

Mirrors for Early Access Program Release
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 3.1.1 Beta main installer binaries are only mirrored on neooffice.org servers so using the above command will only copy the language pack installers until near the end of the current NeoOffice Early Access Program on 11 May 2010.
Task | Date Completed | Assigned | Status |

Mirrors
