Current Version

The latest version of NeoOffice is: 3.3.

NeoOffice 3.3 requires an Intel Macintosh running Mac OS X 10.6.8 or higher. Some Aqua features will appear differently depending on your version of Mac OS X.

(NeoOffice 3.2.1 is still available for users with Intel Macs running Mac OS X 10.5.8 to Mac OS X 10.7.4 [without a Retina display].)

You can find the MD5SUMs for current NeoOffice downloads (main binary, language packs, and patches) on the NeoOffice MD5 Checksums page.

Current Patch

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

  • NeoOffice no longer ignores the “new paragraph” and “new line” commands when using the Apple Dictation service in Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.
  • Fixed a bug where NeoOffice would sometimes show the first slide as a blank black screen when running a slideshow in Impress.
  • Corrected the drawing of gradient backgrounds so they no longer would be drawn with jagged edges or with diagonal lines superimposed on the gradient when running a slideshow, printing, or exporting to PDF.
  • Fixed a possible crash when trying to quit while a large document was being saved.
  • Fixed a crash that could occur when opening certain .xls files.
  • Resolved a problem where NeoOffice would occasionally hang when quitting.

Note: 3.3 Patch-17 requires a full installation of NeoOffice 3.3 and will not install on any version of NeoOffice 3.2 or NeoOffice 3.3 Beta. Patch-17 includes all fixes and additions of previous patches.
