NeoOfficeÂ® 2.1 for Mac OS X Released

March 27, 2007

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Introducing NeoOffice 2.1

Santa Clara, California, USA - Planamesa Software and the NeoOffice.org community are proud to introduce NeoOffice 2.1, a significantly-enhanced version of the Mac OS X-native version of the OpenOffice.org office suite that includes Microsoft Office-compatible word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, drawing, and database applications.

"This release is the culmination of many thousands of volunteer hours," said Patrick Luby, CEO and Chief Engineer of NeoOffice.org. "As a result of this tremendous effort, we are introducing a major new version of a very stable, full-featured office suite for Mac OS X that supports dozens of languages."

NeoOffice 2.1 is available today as a free download from the NeoOffice website at http://download.neooffice.org/neojava/.

A Feature-Complete, World-Class Office Solution

NeoOffice 2.1 provides compatibility with Microsoft Office and offers a robust feature set common to all major office suites, including the ability to track changes as a document is forwarded from one user to another. NeoOffice can export to many formats such as PDF, HTML, Flash, Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Its native file format is the open, XML-based, ISO standard OpenDocument, freeing usersâ€™ documents from vendor lock-in, a frequent complaint against proprietary office suites.

NeoOffice 2.1 also offers localized user interfaces in nearly sixty languages and supports text entry in Roman and non-Roman scripts, including South Asian, East Asian, right-to-left and complex text layout scripts. This has allowed individuals and organizations across the globeâ€”from schools to non-profits to corporationsâ€”to adopt NeoOffice as their primary office suite.

"We've leveraged OpenOffice.org's amazing internationalization efforts, which makes NeoOffice a great solution for Mac OS X users all around the world," said Ed Peterlin, CTO and Chief Visionary of NeoOffice.org.

A Simple Idea

"When I started the NeoOffice project, there really was no viable alternative to Microsoft's Mac version of Office," noted Luby. "There were other Mac word processors, but few that included spreadsheet and presentation support. The cross-platform OpenOffice.org suite incorporated all three and featured strong compatibility with Microsoft Office documents. So creating a native Mac OS X version of OpenOffice.org seemed like a good idea."

Seamless Integration of OpenOffice.org with Mac OS X

Based on the latest stable OpenOffice.org codebase, NeoOffice 2.1 offers extensive integration with Mac OS X. Key Macintosh features include a native menu bar, the "blue button" widgets characteristic of the Mac OS X "Aqua" look, use of the Mac OS X printing system, full clipboard support, drag-and-drop, Mac "command" key shortcuts, mouse scrolling, integration with major Mac email clients, and native support for Mac fonts. NeoOffice also ships with a plugin for Spotlight, the Mac OS X search function, that allows contents of NeoOffice documents to be indexed and found by Spotlight. NeoOffice 2.1 is compatible with Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later and runs natively on Intel-based Macintoshes.

"NeoOffice 2.1 is a standalone, double-clickable Mac application and does not require additional X11 software," said Peterlin. "Our goal is to make NeoOffice 100% indistinguishable from any other Macintosh application in look-and-feel. Version 2.1 is another major milestone on that road."

Supports Office 2007 Word Documents and Excel Macros

Unlike all current versions of Microsoft Office for Mac, NeoOffice 2.1 allows Mac users to read and write Microsoft Office 2007 (OpenXML) Word documents. Also, due to Microsoft's announcement that the next version of Microsoft Office for Mac will no longer include support for Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macros, NeoOffice 2.1 is now one of the only ongoing solutions for Mac users who use VBA macros in their Excel documents. Support for OpenXML Excel and PowerPoint documents is planned in the future.

Support for interoperability with Microsoft Office 2007 Word documents and VBA, as well as the Solver-like module in NeoOffice's spreadsheet, is drawn from the ooo-build project, a branch of OpenOffice.org that includes several features which Sun has not yet integrated into the main OpenOffice.org code. Spearheaded by Novell, ooo-build is a collaboration between many individuals and vendors, including major Linux distributors. NeoOffice.org is proud to be cooperating with the ooo-build project to help make important features like OpenXML and VBA macro support available for all Mac owners. "It's great to have NeoOffice making their work available under the JCA to OpenOffice.org via ooo-build and building on our substantial investment here. I'm excited about working with them going forward," said Michael Meeks, Distinguished Engineer, Novell.

Improved Mac OS X Intel and Aqua Support

NeoOffice 2.1 is the only complete Macintosh office suite (with word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation applications) that runs natively on Intel-based Macs. Other office suites either lack a key application, run under the Rosetta emulator on Intel Macs, or require the separate X11 environment.

During the year-long effort to ensure NeoOffice would run just as well on Intel Macs as on PowerPC-based Macs, the NeoOffice team was also hard at work improving the application's look and feel. "After three years of development and fixing bugs, the foundations of NeoOffice were finally in place," Peterlin said. "NeoOffice had proved itself stable and useful and was deserving of the fit and finish of a true Mac application." As a result of those efforts, NeoOffice 2.1 now includes near-complete Aqua widget support and a brand-new community-produced icon set called Akua.

Open Source Development

NeoOffice uses the open source development model to leverage the resources of a global community of volunteer programmers, users and testers.

"My goal was to create a self-supporting, volunteer-based project to build an office suite for Mac OS X," said Luby. "I felt that if people really wanted an application like NeoOffice, they would help by reporting bugs, answering support questions, and maybe even making donations."

"As the user base has grown and become more involved, NeoOffice has benefited and improved accordingly," Luby added. "It is the combined contributions of our users and donors that have made NeoOffice what it is today, and together we can continue to make great Mac software."

Availability

Released as free, open source software under the GNU General Public License, NeoOffice 2.1 is available now at http://download.neooffice.org/neojava/. Users are encouraged to download and freely distribute the software. Development of the application is ongoing by volunteer programmers, beta-testers, artists and writers.

-POUR PUBLICATION IMMÃ‰DIATE
-==== Introduction de NeoOfficeÂ®/J 1.1 ====
-Sunnyvale, California, USA - Planamesa Software et la communautÃ© NeoOffice.org sont fiers d'annoncer la sortie de <b>NeoOfficeÂ®/J 1.1</b>, une version native Mac OS X de la suite bureautique OpenOffice.org qui inclut des modules de traitement de texte, tableur, prÃ©sentation et dessin vectoriel compatibles avec Microsoft Office.
-Selon le crÃ©ateur et dÃ©veloppeur principal de NeoOfficeÂ®/J, Patrick Luby, "Cette version est la culmination de milliers d'heures de travail de volontaires". "En rÃ©compense de cet effort, nous avons une suite bureautique pour Mac OS X entiÃ¨rement fonctionnelle, trÃ¨s stable et supportant des douzaines de langues."
-NeoOfficeÂ®/J 1.1 est disponible aujourd'hui en tant que tÃ©lÃ©chargement gratuit Ã  partir du site web de Planamesa Software : http://www.planamesa.com/neojava/fr/.
-==== Une solution bureautique pleinement fonctionnelle de classe mondiale ====
-NeoOfficeÂ®/J 1.1 est compatible avec Microsoft Office et Corel WordPerfect et offre un jeu de fonctionnalitÃ©s commun aux suites bureautiques majeures, incluant la possibilitÃ© de suivre les modifications effectuÃ©es par diffÃ©rents utilisateurs sur un document. NeoOfficeÂ®/J permet l'exportation vers diffÃ©rents formats de fichiers tels que PDF, HTML, Flash, Word, Excel et PowerPoint. Son format de fichier natif est ouvert et basÃ© sur XML, libÃ©rant les documents utilisateur d'une limitation par le vendeur, un reproche frÃ©quemment fait aux suites bureautiques propriÃ©taires.
-NeoOfficeÂ®/J 1.1 offre aussi une interface utilisateur localisÃ©e dans 40 langues et supporte la saisie de texte selon des scripts Roman et non Roman, incluant les mÃ©thodes de saisie complexes sud asiatiques, est asiatique et droite vers gauche. CelÃ  a permis Ã  de nombreuses personnes et organisations tout autour de la terre, allant d'Ã©coles Ã  des sociÃ©tÃ©s en passant par des associations, de choisir NeoOfficeÂ®/J en tant que suite bureautique principale.
-"Nous avons bÃ©nÃ©ficiÃ© des importants efforts d'internationalisation d'OpenOffice.org, ce qui fait de NeoOfficeÂ®/J une excellente solution pour tous les utilisateurs de Mac OS X de par le monde" a dÃ©clarÃ© Ed Peterlin, dÃ©veloppeur et fondateur de NeoOffice.org.
-==== Une idÃ©e simple ====
-"Quand j'ai commencÃ© le projet NeoOfficeÂ®/J, Il n'y avait aucune alternative viable Ã  la version Mac de Microsoft Office" remarque Patrick Luby. "Il y avait d'autres traitements de texte mais peu incluaient un tableur et un module de prÃ©sentation. La suite multi plateforme OpenOffice.org incorpore ces trois modules et fournit un bonne compatibilitÃ© avec les documents Microsoft Office. CrÃ©er une version native Mac OS X d'OpenOffice.org sembla donc Ãªtre une bonne idÃ©e."
-==== IntÃ©gration poussÃ©e d'OpenOffice.org avec Mac OS X ====
-BasÃ©e sur le code de la derniÃ¨re version stable d'OpenOffice.org, NeoOfficeÂ®/J 1.1 offre une intÃ©gration poussÃ©e avec Mac OS X. Les fonctions clÃ©s incluent un installeur standard Mac OS X, des menus natifs Aqua, l'utilisation du systÃ¨me d'impression natif de Mac OS X, support total du presse-papiers, du glisser-dÃ©poser, des raccourcis clavier Mac (touche "commande" ou "Pomme"), du dÃ©filement Ã  l'aide de la molette, l'intÃ©gration avec la majoritÃ© des clients email Mac et le support natif des polices de caractÃ¨res Mac. NeoOfficeÂ®/J 1.1 est compatible avec Mac OS X 10.2 ou supÃ©rieur.
-"NeoOfficeÂ®/J 1.1 est une application Mac indÃ©pendante, double-cliquable et ne requiÃ¨re pas le logiciel additionnel X11" dÃ©clare Ed Peterlin. "Notre but est de faire en sorte que NeoOfficeÂ®/J soit 100% indistinctible d'une autre application Mac au niveau du look and feel. La version 1.1 reprÃ©sente une avancÃ©e majeure dans cette direction."
-==== Support de Spotlight sous Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" ====
-NeoOfficeÂ®/J 1.1 inclut aussi <b>NeoLight</b>, un importeur pour Spotlight, la nouvelle fonctionnalitÃ© de recherche de Mac OS X 10.4. "Avec cet importeur, vos documents NeoOfficeÂ®/J sont indexÃ©s et vous pouvez rechercher dedans instantanÃ©ment avec la facilitÃ© lÃ©gendaire du Mac" ajoute Ed Peterlin. "C'est juste une autre maniÃ¨re de fournir une intÃ©gration totale avec Mac OS X sur laquelle nous travaillons."
-==== DÃ©veloppement Open Source ====
-NeoOfficeÂ®/J est dÃ©veloppÃ© selon le modÃ¨le open source pour bÃ©nÃ©ficier des ressources d'une communautÃ© mondiale de programmeurs, utilisateurs et testeurs.
-"Mon but est de crÃ©er un projet autonome et basÃ© sur le volontariat pour construire une suite bureautique pour Mac OS X" dÃ©clare Patrick Luby. "Je suis convaincu que si des gens sont rÃ©ellement intÃ©ressÃ©s par une application comme NeoOfficeÂ®/J, ils aideront en rapportant les bugs, en rÃ©pondant aux questions de support technique et peut-Ãªtre mÃªme en faisant des donations."
-"Comme le nombre d'utilisateurs a augmentÃ© et qu'ils se sont impliquÃ©s, NeoOfficeÂ®/J en a bÃ©nÃ©ficiÃ© et s'est amÃ©liorÃ©" ajoute Patrick Luby. "Ce sont les contributions combinÃ©es de nos utilisateurs qui ont fait de NeoOfficeÂ®/J ce qu'il est aujourd'hui; et cette version reprÃ©sente seulement le commencement."
