DenialS writes: "Congratulations to the OpenOffice.org team! Version 1.0 of the open office suite has been released. I'm downloading it now; I've had good luck with the previous stable builds. Release notes haven't been posted yet, so I can't say what the major differences are between 1.0 and the previous stable build, 641d, but I'm looking forware to finding out!"

Press release, release notes available

[moonbender]

Downloading now, I hope I get it before it's slashdotted. :)

Anyway, there's a press release available on the mailing list (and assumedly somewhere else). From what I gather from glancing over it, it doesn't contain any useful information, but maybe someone can extract something out of it or pass it on to his boss.
The release notes are available too. There's no changelog as such, but it says ...

OpenOffice.org 1.0.0 is the result of development on the cvs branch tagged "OOO_STABLE_1". Some snapshots have already been released from this branch, namely the snapshots 641, 641C and 641D. Almost no more features were added since 641D, development was focussed on bug fixes instead. Thus, in these release notes, the 'features' section which used to be rather big in release notes of other (snapshot) releases is small.

... so I guess no actual changelog is required.

Site is slashdotted

The link appears to be slashdotted already, as it produces an error page on my browser.

Btw, something I don't understand about the slashdot effect. If slashdot can take all of these users who MUST have come to slashdot before following the link, how comes th sites to which slashdot links crash when slashdot users go there?
