1.1.1 is NOT officially released

Dang, we used to have Utomo pre-releasing OOo releases, now we have Eugenia of OSNews.com doing it. It has not been released yet; it should be tomorrow, provided the mirrors are sync’ed.

Yes, it will still have “boring” icons (these are Sun builds) – pretty icons come with Ximian builds, or even Fedora builds. And yes, we do have OOo 1.1.1 for OS X actually; we’re just not releasing it as we lack a support structure with the possible amount of questions that will arise. CraHan wants an updated webpage? Easy to talk, why not join the porting team :) And to those wanting Aqua-ified OOo for OS X, Neoffice or something will work (mostly).

For once, can we have an official release announcement from Louis for instance, without someone else blowing their horn?

    I’m more than willing to help with updating the website, if you think someone with a limited programming experience is up for that job, then by all means: here I am :).

    Sweet, guess that means we’ll look into updating the website (with new instructions as well) CraHan! But really, we have preview OS X builds out there, floating around – I for one have them…

    Great to hear, I was just trying to get some answers over at osnews as to what the state of affairs was wrt the Mac port. But it seems it got rather off track. Anyway, keep me (and a lot of other willing Mac users) updated as to when and where we can download those new builds. I’m betting a lot of people are eager to start testing it.

    Just been informed that the webpages have been updated; they’ll be in a more usable form soon.

    Unofficial builds (well, okay, my builds) are sitting online and I’ve made announcements at: OpenOffice.org 1.1.1b for OS X for instance.

    Cool beans, checking that out now and I’ll report to the developers with anything I find out :). Hopefully my input will be useful ;)

    Just so you know, first impressions: FAST :) (even on my slow as molasses ibook).

    Input down my way btw, but my latest build is on fix3 – not quite useful. I’ll have another build up and running soon enough, just watch this space for more information
