A User on en-Forum has posted this:

After receiving notification of the availability of Open Office 4.1.0
Where did he get the notification? The update mechanism supported by the
application itself hasn't been activated, AFAIK.
I also have this question, because the update notifications for
OpenOffice instances 3.2.0, ... 4.0.1 had been activated a couple of
minutes ago. Thus, this user got another one. May be it was a
notification from SourceForge.
This is only entry on the thread at

I agree that this is confusing and we have to improve this. We should
try to avoid update notifications for older systems but it's not so easy.
Well, the update feed has a way to tell the application architecture
with inst:arch, so that <inst:arch>X86_64</inst:arch> for MacOSX will be
the same as removing the whole MacOSX entry, because all previous
MacOSX installations are x86; this will of course disable all
notifications for MacOSX. Another alternative is to create a special
page for MacOSX users and add it inst:update, so that user are not
directed to the download page, but this special page explaining the
situation, because
Damn.
Ariel, you are right.
I have overseen this in my recent activation of the update notification.
Thus, installed Mac OS X OpenOffice instance will not get an update
notification about 4.1.0.
Best regards, Oliver.
It is documented in the release notes
but we all know no one reads them, the proof is
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=119006 for the " Restore
windows problem on Mac OS X"
Another broken thing in MacOSX are C++ extensions, I have seen any
mention of this in the release notes.
