<hr />
<div>[[Image:VoiceOver_in_Writer.jpg|right|400px]]We have finally succeeded in making the LibreOffice accessibility code work within NeoOffice's multithreaded architecture. With this change, NeoOffice can now interact with VoiceOver and possibly other macOS accessibility features.<br />
<br />
===Important warning===<br />
<br />
This feature is still in the experimental stage and we expect that there are '''still undiscovered hanging or crashing bugs'''. We had to make significant changes to LibreOffice's code to run within NeoOffice's multithreaded event dispatching code. Also, we have upgraded the LibreOffice accessibility code to use Apple's newer, more efficient NSAccessibilityElement class to significantly reduce memory usage.<br />
<br />
===Where to report bugs===<br />
<br />
If you encounter a crashing or hanging bug while using VoiceOver or any other macOS accessibility features, please let us know by creating a bug report in the [https://github.com/neooffice/NeoOffice/issues NeoOffice issue tracker]. It would be very helpful if you can attach a crash log or, for hangs, a sample from the Activity Monitor application to your bug report.</div>Plubyhttps://neowiki.neooffice.org/index.php/NeoOffice_2022_Upgrade_IssuesNeoOffice 2022 Upgrade Issues2022-05-12T14:20:01Z<p>Summary: Update included article</p>

This is the first version of NeoOffice that includes a universal installer and that runs natively on both Silicon and Intel Macs running on the following versions of macOS.<br />
<br />
NeoOffice 2022 is still based on LibreOffice 4.4 so it should have the same features and behaviors as [[NeoOffice 2017 Upgrade Issues]].<br />

====Enabling Java database features and wizards====<br />
<br />
If you want to use NeoOffice's database features and wizards that use Java, you must [https://github.com/neooffice/NeoOffice/releases install NeoOffice 2022 Professional Edition]. Due to restrictions imposed by Apple, all Java features are disabled in the Mac App Store version of NeoOffice.<br />
<br />
If you are running [https://github.com/neooffice/NeoOffice/releases NeoOffice 2022 Professional Edition] and NeoOffice displays a dialog that says Java is required, install one of the following versions of Java SE Development Kit (JDK) from Oracle. Note: only the following versions of Oracle's JDK will work with NeoOffice 2022 Professional Edition. Neither Apple's Java nor Oracle's Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) will work:<br />
* Silicon Mac: [http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/javadownload2.php Oracle JDK 17 ARM 64]<br />
* Intel Mac: [http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/javadownload2.php Oracle JDK 17 x86] or [http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/javadownload.php Oracle JDK 8]</div>Plubyhttps://neowiki.neooffice.org/index.php/NeoOffice_2022NeoOffice 20222022-05-12T13:50:39Z<p>Summary: Update version</p>
<hr />
<div>=== Current Version ===<br />
<br />
NeoOffice 2022.7 is the current version and runs natively on both Silicon and Intel Macs running macOS 11 Big Sur - macOS 14 Sonoma.<br />
<br />
You can download NeoOffice 2022.7 from rom either of the following sites:<br />
*[https://github.com/neooffice/NeoOffice/releases/latest NeoOffice Professional Edition]<br />
*[https://apps.apple.com/app/neooffice/id639210716?mt=12 NeoOffice in the Mac App Store]<br />
<br />
=== Updates ===<br />
<br />
'''2022.7:''' This version fixes the following bugs:<br />
<br />
* Fix for LibreOffice copy/paste bug #49853.<br />
* Fix for LibreOffice Japanese keyboard bug #154708.<br />
* Fix for crash when spellchecking.<br />
<br />
'''2022.6:''' This version adds the following features:<br />
<br />
* NeoOffice can now load Oracle's JDK 19 and higher.<br />
* NeoOffice has VoiceOver support again.<br />
<br />
'''2022.5:''' This version fixes the following bugs:<br />
<br />
* VoiceOver support has been removed as several completely new crashing bugs were reported soon after we released 2022.4. While our fixes in 2022.4 do detect C++ pointers that LibreOffice has already deleted, our fixes only delayed crashing long enough that NeoOffice would eventually crash in a new set of code locations.<br />
<br />
'''2022.4:''' This version fixes the following bugs:<br />
<br />
* NeoOffice would crash in several different code locations due to a failure of our new VoiceOver code to detect C++ pointers that LibreOffice has already deleted.<br />
* NeoOffice Professional Edition would not load the latest version Oracle's JDK 17.<br />
<br />
'''2022.3:''' This version fixes the following bug:<br />
<br />
* Command-clicking on a hyperlink in a document would display a "fatal error" dialog and then crash if the hyperlink does not point to a local file. This bug was caused by our fix for LibreOffice bug 150873 that was added in the previous release to resolve any macOS aliases in a file path.<br />
<br />
'''2022.2:''' This version adds the following new features:<br />
<br />
* '''VoiceOver support:''' We have finally succeeded in making the LibreOffice accessibility code work within NeoOffice's multithreaded architecture. With this change, NeoOffice now has support for VoiceOver and possibly other macOS accessibility features. Also, we have upgraded the LibreOffice accessibility code to use Apple's newer, more efficient NSAccessibilityElement class to significantly reduce memory usage.<br />
* '''Native popup menus:''' NeoOffice's underlying LibreOffice code does not support accessibility in its non-native popup menus so we have replaced most non-native popup menus with native menus.<br />
<br />
Also, this version fixes the following bugs:<br />
<br />
* Fixed LibreOffice bug 145563 by adding separate fonts for each font's localized and unlocalized family and font names. This increases the likelihood of matching the family name in documents saved by OpenOffice and LibreOffice to an actual font.<br />
* Fixed LibreOffice bug 150873 by adding code that resolves any macOS aliases in a file path before a file path is opened by NeoOffice's underlying LibreOffice code.<br />
* Fixed a crash when quitting while NeoOffice is reloading a document by delaying document reloading when NeoOffice's quit handler code is running.<br />
<br />
'''2022.1:''' This version fixes the following bugs:<br />
<br />
* When using the Sifr icons while in Dark Mode, most Sifr icons were nearly impossible to see against the color of NeoOffice's toolbar background.<br />
* When using mail merge, NeoOffice would unexpectedly quit when transitioning between some of the panels in the Mail Merge Wizard and would fail to save the mail merge results.<br />
* When pasting HTML into a Writer document, NeoOffice would sometimes crash.<br />
* When undoing text that has been changed using the Chinese conversion dialog, LibreOffice bug #91995 would occur in NeoOffice.<br />
* When dragging images from the Finder, dropping the image into NeoOffice would fail.<br />
* SSL support was missing from Python libraries bundled with NeoOffice Professional Edition.<br />
<br />
===New Features===<br />
<br />
This is the first version of NeoOffice that includes a universal installer and that runs natively on both Silicon and Intel Macs running on the following versions of macOS.<br />
<br />
NeoOffice 2022 is still based on LibreOffice 4.4 so it should have the same features and behaviors as [[NeoOffice 2017]].<br />
<br />
Also, this version fixes the following bugs:<br />
<br />
* NeoOffice would hang when changing the font or text size while there is uncommitted text in a Writer comment [https://github.com/neooffice/NeoOffice/issues/2 (Issue #2)]<br />
* When running in Dark Mode, changing any cells within the data range of a Calc chart would cause the chart's text color to invert when saving [https://github.com/neooffice/NeoOffice/issues/3 (Issue #3)]<br />

<hr />
<div>__TOC__<br />
<br />
This article describes known issues for running NeoOffice on macOS 11 Big Sur - macOS 14 Sonoma.<br />
<br />
==Problems after upgrading to Big Sur, Monterey, or Ventura?==<br />
<onlyinclude><br />
<br />
====Step 1 - Download and install the latest version of NeoOffice====<br />
<br />
'''Only NeoOffice 2022 will run natively on both Silicon and Intel Macs on macOS 11 Big Sur - macOS 14 Sonoma.''' To upgrade to NeoOffice 2022, use the following steps:<br />
<br />
*'''NeoOffice Professional Edition:'''<br />
**Install [https://github.com/neooffice/NeoOffice/releases/latest NeoOffice 2022.7 Professional Edition] if you are running an older version of NeoOffice.<br />
**'''Optional:''' Some database features and wizards in NeoOffice Professional Edition require Java. If NeoOffice displays a dialog that says Java is required, install one of the following versions of Java SE Development Kit (JDK) from Oracle. Note: only the following versions of Oracle's JDK will work with NeoOffice 2022 Professional Edition. Neither Apple's Java nor Oracle's Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) will work:<br />
*** Silicon Mac: [http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/javadownload2.php Oracle JDK 17 ARM 64 or higher]<br />
*** Intel Mac: [http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/javadownload2.php Oracle JDK 17 x86 or higher] or [http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/javadownload.php Oracle JDK 8]<br />
**If the NeoOffice download or installation fails, we recommend that you try [[NeoOffice_Download_and_Installation_Issues#Downloading_NeoOffice_Professional_Edition_or_Classic_Edition_from_our_website|these steps]].<br />
*'''NeoOffice Mac App Store:'''<br />
**Install NeoOffice 2022.7 by going to the [https://apps.apple.com/app/neooffice/id639210716?mt=12 NeoOffice page in Apple's Mac App Store] application and clicking on the {{button|GET}} button. If you have already installed an older version of NeoOffice from Apple's Mac App Store, update NeoOffice by [https://support.apple.com/kb/PH25935 doing these steps].<br />
** If NeoOffice does not launch or NeoOffice Viewer launches, we recommend that you try [[NeoOffice_Download_and_Installation_Issues#Mac_App_Store_Installation_Issues|these steps]].<br />
<br />
====Step 2 - If NeoOffice cannot save, try these steps====<br />
[[Image:NeoOffice cannot save free edition.png|right]]If you see the dialog shown in the screen snapshot to the right when you edit or try to save a document, then the problem is that you have launched NeoOffice Viewer. NeoOffice Viewer can only view files and cannot save documents.<br />
<br />
To fix this problem, right-click or Control-click on the NeoOffice icon in the Dock while NeoOffice Viewer is still running. In the popup menu that appears, select the {{menu|Options}} > {{menu|Show in Finder}} menu item. A Finder window will appear. Quit NeoOffice, drag the NeoOffice application in that Finder window to the Trash, and empty the Trash.<br />
<br />
If you have not already installed NeoOffice Professional Edition or Classic Edition or NeoOffice from the Mac App Store, install either now using the steps in Step 1 above.<br />
<br />
====Step 3 - If NeoOffice tells you to install a newer version, try these steps====<br />
[[Image:NeoOffice_installation_folder_macappstore.png|right]]If your web browser displays a page telling you to install a newer version of NeoOffice whenever you launch NeoOffice, then you have an old version of NeoOffice Professional Edition or Classic Edition installed on your machine.<br />
<br />
To fix this problem, right-click or Control-click on the NeoOffice icon in the Dock while NeoOffice is still running. In the popup menu that appears, select the {{menu|Options}} > {{menu|Show in Finder}} menu item. A Finder window will appear. Quit NeoOffice, drag the NeoOffice application in that Finder window to the Trash, and empty the Trash.<br />
<br />
If you have not already installed NeoOffice Professional Edition or Classic Edition or NeoOffice from the Mac App Store, install either now using the steps in Step 1 above.<br />
<br />
====Step 4 - If the Mac App Store tells you that NeoOffice is already installed, try these steps====<br />
<br />
[[Image:NeoOffice_already_installed.png|right]]If Apple's App Store application displays a dialog that says that NeoOffice is already installed, then you have an old version of NeoOffice Professional Edition or Classic Edition installed on your machine.<br />
<br />
To fix this problem, open a Finder window and go to the <tt class="notranslate">/Applications</tt> folder. Drag the NeoOffice application in that Finder window to the Trash, and empty the Trash. Then, go back to Apple's App Store application and click on the download icon to install NeoOffice.<br />
<br />
====Step 5 - If NeoOffice crashes or does not save, try these steps====<br />
The following steps will force NeoOffice to create new user preference files with default values:<br />
*'''Quit NeoOffice'''<br />
*'''NeoOffice Professional Edition:'''<br />
**In the Finder, select the {{menu|Go}} > {{menu|Go to Folder}} menu item, copy the following path into the dialog that appears, and press the {{button|Go}} button:<br><tt class="notranslate">~/Library/Preferences/NeoOffice-4.0</tt><br />
**Drag the selected <tt class="notranslate">NeoOffice-4.0</tt> folder to the Trash<br />
**In the Finder, select the {{menu|Go}} > {{menu|Go to Folder}} menu item, copy the following path into the dialog that appears, and press the {{button|Go}} button:<br><tt class="notranslate">~/Library/Preferences/NeoOffice-3.0</tt><br />
**Drag the selected <tt class="notranslate">NeoOffice-4.0</tt> folder to the Trash<br />
*'''NeoOffice Mac App Store:'''<br />
**In the Finder, select the {{menu|Go}} > {{menu|Go to Folder}} menu item, copy the following path into the dialog that appears, and press the {{button|Go}} button:<br><tt class="notranslate">~/Library/Containers/org.neooffice.NeoOfficeSecureEdition/Data/Library/Preferences/NeoOfficeSecureEdition-4.0</tt><br />
**Drag the selected <tt class="notranslate">NeoOfficeSecureEdition-4.0</tt> folder to the Trash<br />
**In the Finder, select the {{menu|Go}} > {{menu|Go to Folder}} menu item, copy the following path into the dialog that appears, and press the {{button|Go}} button:<br><tt class="notranslate">~/Library/Containers/org.neooffice.NeoOfficeSecureEdition/Data/Library/Preferences/NeoOfficeSecureEdition</tt><br />
**Drag the selected <tt class="notranslate">NeoOfficeSecureEdition-4.0</tt> folder to the Trash<br />
*'''Launch NeoOffice'''<br />
<br />
====Step 6 - If NeoOffice still has problems, try these steps====<br />
*Quit NeoOffice<br />
*In the Finder, go to the <tt class="notranslate">/Applications/Utilities</tt> folder and launch the <tt class="notranslate">Terminal</tt> application<br />
*Copy the following commands into the <tt class="notranslate">Terminal</tt> window and press the Return key:<br><tt class="notranslate">defaults delete org.neooffice.NeoOffice<br>defaults delete org.neooffice.NeoOfficeSecureEdition</tt><br />
*Launch NeoOffice<br />
