Introducing NeoOffice(R)/J 1.1
Sunnyvale, California, USA - Planamesa Software and the NeoOffice.org community are proud to introduce NeoOffice(R)/J 1.1, a Mac OS X-native version of the OpenOffice.org office suite that includes Microsoft Office-compatible word processing, spreadsheet, presentation and drawing applications.
"This release is the culmination of many thousands of volunteer hours," said NeoOffice(R)/J creator and primary developer Patrick Luby. "As a result of this tremendous effort, we have a very stable, full-featured office suite for Mac OS X that supports dozens of languages."

A Feature-Complete, World-Class Office Solution
NeoOffice(R)/J 1.1 provides compatibility with Microsoft Office and Corel WordPerfect 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(R)/J can export to many formats such as PDF, HTML, Flash, Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Its native file format is open and XML-based, freeing users’ documents from vendor lock-in, a frequent complaint against proprietary office suites.
NeoOffice(R)/J 1.1 also offers localized user interfaces in forty languages and supports text entry in Roman and non-Roman scripts, including South Asian, East Asian, right-to-left and complex text layout scripts.

"We've leveraged OpenOffice.org's amazing internationalization efforts, which makes NeoOffice(R)/J a great solution for Mac OS X users all around the world," said core engineer and NeoOffice.org founder Ed Peterlin.
A Simple Idea
"When I started the NeoOffice(R)/J 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(R)/J 1.1 offers extensive integration with Mac OS X. Key Macintosh features include a standard Mac OS X installer, a native Aqua menu bar, 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(R)/J 1.1 is compatible with Mac OS X 10.2 or later.
"NeoOffice(R)/J 1.1 is a standalone, double-clickable Mac application and does not require additional X11 software," said Peterlin. "Our goal is to make NeoOffice(R)/J 100% indistinguishable from any other Macintosh application in look-and-feel. Version 1.1 is a major step in that direction."
Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" Spotlight Support
NeoOffice(R)/J 1.1 also includes NeoLight, a plugin for Spotlight, the new search feature in Apple's Mac OS X 10.4. "With this plugin, your NeoOffice(R)/J files will be indexed and can be searched instantly in a familiar, Mac-like fashion," added Peterlin. "It's just another way we're working to integrate with the full Mac OS X experience."
Open Source Development
NeoOffice(R)/J 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(R)/J, 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(R)/J has benefited and improved accordingly," Luby added. "It is the combined contributions of our users that have made NeoOffice(R)/J what it is today, and this release is only the beginning."

Communiqué de presse
Contact : community AT neooffice DOT org Annonce de NeoOffice®/J 1.1 pour Mac OS X
22 juin 2005
POUR PUBLICATION IMMÉDIATE
INTRODUCTION DE NEOOFFICE®/J 1.1
Sunnyvale, California, USA - Planamesa Software et la communauté NeoOffice.org sont fiers d'annoncer la sortie de NeoOffice®/J 1.1, une version native Mac OS X de la suite bureautique OpenOffice.org qui inclut des modules de traitement de texte, tableur, présentation et dessin vectoriel compatibles avec Microsoft Office.
Selon le créateur et développeur principal de NeoOffice®/J, Patrick Luby, "Cette version est la culmination de milliers d'heures de travail de volontaires". "En récompense de cet effort, nous avons une suite bureautique pour Mac OS X entièrement fonctionnelle, très stable et supportant des douzaines de langues."
NeoOffice®/J 1.1 est disponible aujourd'hui en tant que téléchargement gratuit à partir du site web de Planamesa Software : http://www.planamesa.com/neojava/fr/.
UNE SOLUTION BUREAUTIQUE PLEINEMENT FONCTIONNELLE DE CLASSE MONDIALE
NeoOffice®/J 1.1 est compatible avec Microsoft Office et Corel WordPerfect et offre un jeu de fonctionnalités commun aux suites bureautiques majeures, incluant la possibilité de suivre les modifications effectuées par différents utilisateurs sur un document. NeoOffice®/J permet l'exportation vers différents formats de fichiers tels que PDF, HTML, Flash, Word, Excel et PowerPoint. Son format de fichier natif est ouvert et basé sur XML, libérant les documents utilisateur d'une limitation par le vendeur, un reproche fréquemment fait aux suites bureautiques propriétaires.
NeoOffice®/J 1.1 offre aussi une interface utilisateur localisée dans 40 langues et supporte la saisie de texte selon des scripts Roman et non Roman, incluant les méthodes de saisie complexes sud asiatiques, est asiatique et droite vers gauche. Celà a permis à de nombreuses personnes et organisations tout autour de la terre, allant d'écoles à des sociétés en passant par des associations, de choisir NeoOffice®/J en tant que suite bureautique principale.
"Nous avons bénéficié des importants efforts d'internationalisation d'OpenOffice.org, ce qui fait de NeoOffice®/J une excellente solution pour tous les utilisateurs de Mac OS X de par le monde" a déclaré Ed Peterlin, développeur et fondateur de NeoOffice.org.
UNE IDÉE SIMPLE
"Quand j'ai commencé le projet NeoOffice®/J, Il n'y avait aucune alternative viable à 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 présentation. La suite multi plateforme OpenOffice.org incorpore ces trois modules et fournit un bonne compatibilité avec les documents Microsoft Office. Créer une version native Mac OS X d'OpenOffice.org sembla donc être une bonne idée."
INTÉGRATION POUSSÉE D'OPENOFFICE.ORG AVEC MAC OS X
Basée sur le code de la dernière version stable d'OpenOffice.org, NeoOffice®/J 1.1 offre une intégration poussée avec Mac OS X. Les fonctions clés incluent un installeur standard Mac OS X, des menus natifs Aqua, l'utilisation du système d'impression natif de Mac OS X, support total du presse-papiers, du glisser-déposer, des raccourcis clavier Mac (touche "commande" ou "Pomme"), du défilement à l'aide de la molette, l'intégration avec la majorité des clients email Mac et le support natif des polices de caractères Mac. NeoOffice®/J 1.1 est compatible avec Mac OS X 10.2 ou supérieur.
"NeoOffice®/J 1.1 est une application Mac indépendante, double-cliquable et ne requière pas le logiciel additionnel X11" déclare Ed Peterlin. "Notre but est de faire en sorte que NeoOffice®/J soit 100% indistinctible d'une autre application Mac au niveau du look and feel. La version 1.1 représente une avancée majeure dans cette direction."
SUPPORT DE SPOTLIGHT SOUS MAC OS X 10.4 "TIGER"
NeoOffice®/J 1.1 inclut aussi NeoLight, un importeur pour Spotlight, la nouvelle fonctionnalité de recherche de Mac OS X 10.4. "Avec cet importeur, vos documents NeoOffice®/J sont indexés et vous pouvez rechercher dedans instantanément avec la facilité légendaire du Mac" ajoute Ed Peterlin. "C'est juste une autre manière de fournir une intégration totale avec Mac OS X sur laquelle nous travaillons."
DÉVELOPPEMENT OPEN SOURCE
NeoOffice®/J est développé selon le modèle open source pour bénéficier des ressources d'une communauté mondiale de programmeurs, utilisateurs et testeurs.
"Mon but est de créer un projet autonome et basé sur le volontariat pour construire une suite bureautique pour Mac OS X" déclare Patrick Luby. "Je suis convaincu que si des gens sont réellement intéressés par une application comme NeoOffice®/J, ils aideront en rapportant les bugs, en répondant aux questions de support technique et peut-être même en faisant des donations."
"Comme le nombre d'utilisateurs a augmenté et qu'ils se sont impliqués, NeoOffice®/J en a bénéficié et s'est amélioré" ajoute Patrick Luby. "Ce sont les contributions combinées de nos utilisateurs qui ont fait de NeoOffice®/J ce qu'il est aujourd'hui; et cette version représente seulement le commencement."
DISPONIBILITÉ
Publiée en tant que logiciel libre et open source sous la Licence Publique Générale GNU, NeoOffice®/J 1.1 est disponible dès maintenant sur http://www.planamesa.com/neojava/fr/. Les utilisateurs sont encouragés à télécharger et distribuer gratuitement le logiciel. Le développement de l'application progresse grâce à des programmeurs volontaires, des bêta-testeurs, des artistes et des rédacteurs.
