APACHE OPENOFFICE 4.1.0 HAS NOT BEEN RELEASED YET. General Remarks Apache OpenOffice 4.1.0 is a <type of> release. <Other text as needed> All users of Apache OpenOffice 4.0.1 or earlier are advised to upgrade. You can download Apache OpenOffice 4.1.0 here. Our Bugzilla issue tracking database provides a detailed list of solved issues. General areas of improvement include: <additional text as needed> Further details on each of these areas are below. New Features <None at this time> Improvements/Enhancements Performance Improvements/Enhancements <None at this time> Other Improvements/Enhancements Seamonkey replaced by NSS ("Network Security Services") Outdated code from Mozilla that was used to include cryptography services and address book access has been replaced with the more modern and more secure NSS libraries. This grwatly simplifies the build process and source code maintenance and is transparent to end users in general. End users are affected only in the following ways: Under Windows XP, trying to add the Windows Address Book as an OpenOffice database; this has always been the case on any newer Windows versions (Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8). Thunderbird users will not see direct Thunderbird address book support in OpenOffice's address book wizard, but the OpenOffice support for CSV can replace it for now. Users can use Thunderbird's Tools->Export->AsCsv functionality to get their address book as comma separated text. Authenticated LDAP access is now unsupported (the non-authenticated access was already unsupported). Bug Fixes Additional Language Support New translations available in Apache OpenOffice 4.x.x include: Bulgarian (bg) Danish (da) Thai (th) Norwegian Bokmal (nb) Updated translations available in Apache OpenOffice 4.x.x include: German (de) Language (ISO Code) Language (ISO Code) For a complete list of available languages and language packs see: http://www.openoffice.org/download/other.html Additional Platform Support <None at this time> Known Issues Apache OpenOffice 4.1.0 will be flagged by the new Gatekeeper facility in Mac OS X Mountain Lion and Maverick. This is a new feature to help guard against malware on Mac systems. There is a procedure laid out at the following link to allow applications not installed from the Mac App store to run. See the article at Mac support at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5290. Apache OpenOffice 4.0.0 supports Java 7, which is the recommended configuration; but (especially on 64-bit Windows) you might receive warnings about the Java version being defective. In that case, download and install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package. If you still have problems, install the most current JRE 6 version. Make sure you get the file "Windows x86 Offline (32-bit)". Then configure OpenOffice to use it at "Tools - Options - OpenOffice - Java". See this forum topic for more information.
