| + | |||
| + | '''Beta Patch-11''': The bugs fixed by this patch are listed below: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * A crashing bug was found in "Patch-10". "Patch-11" fixes that bug. | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Beta Patch-10''': The bugs fixed by this patch are listed below: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Inter-application drag-and-drop support | ||
| + | * Fixes for 13 bugs, including: | ||
| + | ** Improved text drawing speed - The text kerning improvements added in "Patch-8" caused some slowdown in text drawing speed. This patch restores text drawing speed to pre-"Patch-8" levels. | ||
| + | ** Autocomplete feature now works with accented characters - This bug, which caused word autocompletion to overwrite accented characters, has been fixed. | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Beta Patch-9''': The bugs fixed by this patch are listed below: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Fixes for regressions that appeared in "Patch-8" such as the "compressed text" bug (i.e. bug 580). | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Beta Patch-8''': The bugs fixed by this patch are listed below: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Neo/J now behaves more like other Mac applications and will not quit when you press the red "close window" button on the last document window. | ||
| + | * Text copy and paste bug - The previous patch had a bug that caused Neo/J to only copy half the highlighed characters text. This bug has been fixed. | ||
| + | * Better text kerning - The text layout code in Neo/J has been improved to display text to more closely match the kerning in other Mac OS X applications. | ||
| + | * Floating windows always stay on top - In previous patches, floating windows would sometimes fall behind the document window. Neo/J now detects this and will automatically bring floating windows to the front. | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Beta Patch-7''': The bugs fixed by this patch are listed below: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Overlapping characters - When using some custom fonts, certain character sequences would be combined into a single character. This bug has been fixed. | ||
| + | * Long paragraphs - Sometimes characters at the end of long paragraphs (e.g. more than 1000 words) would kern incorrectly. This bug has been fixed. | ||
| + | * Waking from sleep - On some machines, Neo/J would prevent a sleeping machine from waking. This bug has been fixed. | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Beta Patch-6''': The bugs fixed by this patch are listed below: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Upgrade to the latest libwpd and writerperfect releases | ||
| + | * "About NeoOffice/J" and "Preferences" now present in the "NeoOffice/J" menu | ||
| + | * Performance enhancements and 36 bugs reported since Patch-5; the most important bugs are listed below: | ||
| + | ** Infinite scrolling - Some users reported that, in some cases, scrolling could enter an infinite loop. This bug has been fixed. | ||
| + | ** Smoother text input - Text input for languages that use input methods (e.g. Japanese, Chinese, etc.) now more accurately display committed and uncommitted text. Also, moving the cursor within uncommitted text is now supported. | ||
| + | ** Faster text drawing - Several users discovered that [http://developer.apple.com/intl/atsui.html ATSUI] was restricting Neo/J performance. To enhance performance, this patch caches recently drawn text so that the time spent in Mac OS X's time consuming text layout functions is kept to a minimum. | ||
| + | ** New crashing bugs - After Mac OS X 10.3.8 was released, several users began experiencing crashing bugs that we had not seen in earlier Mac OS X updates. These new crashing bugs have been fixed. | ||

| + | ** The "silent crashing" bug has been fixed. This bug, which is a bug in Java 1.3.1 on Panther, would unpredictably terminate Neo/J. This bug, which has existed since Panther was first released, was most likely to occur for users editing large presentation files. | ||
