Current Version

The latest version of NeoOffice is NeoOffice 2017.33.

NeoOffice 2017.33 requires an Intel Macintosh running OS X 10.8 - macOS 10.12.

(NeoOffice 3.4.1 is still available for users with Intel Macs running 10.6.8 to 10.7.5; NeoOffice 3.4.1 is not compatible with OS X 10.11 El Capitan or later.)
