Contents

Current Beta Version

The latest Beta version of NeoOffice is: 3.2 Beta.

NeoOffice 3.2 Beta requires an Intel Macintosh running Mac OS X 10.5.8 or higher. Some Aqua features will appear differently depending on your version of Mac OS X.

Current Patch

Patch-1 is now available.

The new changes included in this patch are listed below:

  • Improved the first-run experience on Mac OS X 10.7 “Lion” Macs that do not have Java installed.
  • Prevented a hang on Mac OS X 10.6 when closing Image Capture’s dialog with the close button.

Note: Patch-1 requires a full installation of NeoOffice 3.2 Beta and will not install on any version of NeoOffice 3.1.x, 3.0.x or 2.x. Patch-1 includes all fixes and additions of previous patches.

Older Patches

NeoOffice 3.2 Beta Early Access includes all of the fixes previously available in NeoOffice 3.1.2 with Patch-5, but it requires a new, full download.

New Features in NeoOffice 3.2 Beta

If you have not downloaded a release of NeoOffice since version 3.1.2, there are several new features in NeoOffice 3.2 Beta. Some of the most significant include:

    • Text layout and rendering
    • Copy and paste
    • Drag and drop
