Openoffice.org 3.1 is out today

http://www.openoffice.org :)

I suppose it will be in Jaunty's repo's soon

Probably not in main or universe, but eventually in backports. They tend to only include security fixes, not whole version upgrades.

Indeed

Thanks for letting us know. I had no idea (I haven't been following it as closely as I should).

After installing and fiddling with it a little I have found docx support to be better. :) A big kudos goes out to Sun for this release. I just have one thing left to do...donate to OpenOffice!

Full report please, how much better and what kinda things have been fixed?

I haven't tried on Ubuntu yet as I'm gaming today.

However my first impressions under Vista x64 are as follows:

1: extremely fast Loading It load's nearly as fast as notepad
which is saying something as previous open office version's were very slow though they improved loading times with each version

2: small but noticeable ui improvements

3: the whole experience was generally much faster and the speed improvements will probably make it run off a usb stick much faster, as trying to do that was very tedious

anyway off to quake live! I just hope that the Linux version of that isn't going to be too long :KS

Yes it is 9399.

As already mentioned it does load a little faster (I have tried the Win version and Linux). It actually displays images where it's supposed to on docx files created in MS Office '07 (on 3.0.1 I was having problems with images not being displayed in the correct place, if at all). That's about all I've really tested so far...the honey-do list came-a-calling. :(
