Current Version

The latest version of NeoOffice is: 3.4.1.

NeoOffice 3.4.1 requires an Intel Macintosh running Mac OS X 10.6.8 through Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite. Some Aqua features will appear differently depending on your version of Mac OS X.

You can find the MD5 checksums for current NeoOffice downloads (main binary, language packs, and patches) on the NeoOffice MD5 Checksums page.

Patches

If you want to receive announcements whenever a patch or new release of NeoOffice is available, there are several options available:

  • NeoOffice has built-in update checking, which by default checks for updates once a week.
  • Twitter users can also follow NeoOffice on Twitter for patch and release announcements.

Current Patch

3.4.1 Patch-17 is now available. The new changes included in this patch are listed below:

  • NeoOffice no longer pauses after several swipes. NeoOffice's swipe event handling code would sometimes pause for a moment if the user swiped several times in a row.
  • Swiping or moving the scroll wheel very slowly will now move only a single line or row at a time. Before, NeoOffice would randomly jump 2 or 3 lines when swiping or moving the scroll wheel very slowly.
  • When swiping or moving the scroll wheel rapidly, the page or row number tooltip no longer flickers rapidly. The flickering tooltip was caused by NeoOffice's underlying OpenOffice code closing and reopening the tooltip after each swipe or scrolling event.

Note: 3.4.1 Patch-17 requires a full installation of NeoOffice 3.4.1 and will not install on any version of NeoOffice 3.3 or NeoOffice 3.4.1 Beta. Patch-17 includes all fixes and additions of previous patches.
