Sneak Preview of New OpenOffice 3.2

Posted by timothy on from the an-org-y-of-improvements dept.

omlx writes 'The last developer milestone (DEV300m60) of OpenOffice.org has been released. The next version of OpenOffice.org 3.2 has more than 42 features and 167 enhancements . The final version is expected to be available at the end of November 2009. Many companies have contributed to this version, like RedHat, RedFlag and IBM, making OpenOffice more stable and useful. I couldn't stop myself from seeing new features and enjoying them. So I downloaded the DEV300m60 version. After playing with it for many days I could say that OpenOffice developers have done very good work in it. Well done!"

    "Many issues have been fixed in order to make OpenOffice.org faster. The happy news that OpenOffice.org 3.2 is now faster than before in many aspects. The startup now 30% faster in Windows."

    Thank God. If it got any slower and more bloated... I just hope Linux is also faster.

  2. More easier? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Funny

    Based on the section headings from TFA, I gather that version 3.2 is more secure, faster, more international, and more easier.

    Apparently a grammar checker isn't one of the 42 new features.

    Now now...

    If you have used Microsoft Word to write your blog you would have seen that "more easier" is kind of green-underline (i.e., it does not make sense).

    That hurt even *my* eyes... and my native language is not English.

    Why would it need to be back ported? Is Ubuntu 9.04 on an old kernel or old C/C++ runtimes?

    If there is a problem, you could try compiling it yourself - most of it is C++ code.

    They were using the preschool language mode.

    However, the TFA is more slashdotteder at the moment.

    Yeah, that's why my resumes come with a virus which scouts out the system and then return a file that will work best for the HR person.

    It also searches the computer for better resumes and corrupts them.
