Product Description:

NeoOffice/J is a fully-featured set of office applications (including word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, and drawing programs) for Mac OS X. Based on the OpenOffice.org office suite, NeoOffice/J incorporates dozens of native Mac features and can import, edit, and exchange files with other popular office programs such as Microsoft Office. Unlike the Mac OS X release of OpenOffice.org, NeoOffice/J does not require the X11 windowing system.

 

Released as free, open-source software under the GNU General Public License (GPL), NeoOffice/J is fully functional and stable enough for everyday use. The software is actively developed, and updates and improvements are available on a regular basis.

What's new in this version:

  • Many bug fixes and feature enhancements, including:
    • Support for drag-and-drop between NeoOffice/J and other applications.
    • Improved text drawing speed - The text kerning improvements added in "Patch-8" caused some slowdown in text drawing speed. This patch restores text drawing speed to pre-"Patch-8" levels.
    • Autocomplete feature now works with accented characters - This bug, which caused word autocompletion to overwrite accented characters, has been fixed.
  • For a more complete list of changes since NeoOffice/J 1.1 Beta, consult the release notes.
  • Patch-10 requires an existing installation of NeoOffice/J 1.1 Beta; this can be obtained from http://www.planamesa.com/neojava/download.php.

  • Mac OS X 10.3
  • Mac OS X 10.2

NeoOffice/J CommentaryPatch Update does not work - Version: 3.0.1, 11/28/2009 06:52AM PST

Steezito
I installed the early release of NeoOffice 3.0.1 because of the new features of Snow Leopard.. There have been some difficulties, such as failure to properly refresh the screen and eventually complete freeze-up. I find that I need to restart it every couple of days or it slows down progressively and screen updates fail.

Since this is an early release, this is to be expected, but when I tried to install the patch, it fails because it says that I need to have 3.0.1 installed.

NeoOffice/J CommentaryPatch 7 => Many crashes... - Version: 3.0 Patch 7, 8/11/2009 02:01PM PST

Yesterday I tried to patch NeoOffice, which is by the way a very good program and I use it a lot, and the patch failed to update. It was patch 6.

Then I installed version 3.0 from scratch, because patch 6 messed up the program, and I was getting a message that patch 7 was out. So there was something wrong with patch 6 like I've thought and experianced...

Anyway, I installed patch 7 with succes and now NeoOffice (patched to 7) crashes almost all the time on startup... Sometimes the program starts normal after 6 or 7 crashes and works normal?

I believe this patch 7 is a quick fix for patch 6 and that a patch 8 will follow very soon because something is wrong with the last two patches (6 and 7).

So for the moment I installed a clean 3.0 again (works like a charme on 10.5.8) and I'm waiting for patch 8.

Again, NeoOffice is one the programs I'm often use and Iove it!!! So 5 stars from me!!!
It's always possible that something is going wrong during an update, we are only humans and we all make mistakes ;-). So no harm done, I'm still a big fan of the NeoOffice Project and all the great developers!!! Thanks a lot for the effort, the great program, etc. !!!

Greets.
