04.11.2021
04.11.2021
This GA fixes several issues found in 4.1.8
The GA version includes English, German, Italian, French, Spanish, Dutch and Russian language pack. And of course this version comes nicely packed in a wpi. A rpm version of it will be available shortly.
Apache OpenOffice is the open productivity suite, consisting of several mighty applications, such as Calc, Writer, Base, Impress and several more. Apache OpenOffice is compatible to the leading commercial productivity suite.
You need only one complete wpi for your preferred language. If you want to install an additional language you need only the language wpi for the new language.
For additional installation information, please read the readme file. The file is also found in the download directory.

If you ever bought a Apache OpenOffice Development unit in our shop, you will receive a link shortly. If that's not the case, please send us an e-mail. If you are a first time customer, then please buy a Apache OpenOffice Development unit at our online shop. The download link will then be sent within some hours.
Some remarks for this release:
This AOO release needs the latest ICU library. So if AOO doesn't start after installation make sure you have the latest ICU installed (which is version 68.1). The second pitfall might be you miss libxslt. This lib is not installed by default in ArcaOS.
Development units help to pay the costs for developing OS/2 compatible ports of Apache OpenOffice. Development unit purchases help to ensure that development will continue. Note: you are not buying an Apache OpenOffice license. Apache OpenOffice is licensed under the terms of the Apache License v2.0.
