OpenOffice.org 2.0.2 released!


Recommended Posts

OpenOffice.org 2.0.2 is available today. It is ready now in English;

check with the Native Language projects for other languages. The

release is recommended for everyone. It contains some nifty new

features, fixes many small bugs and resolves numerous issues. For

instance, spellcheck dictionaries are now directly integrated into

OpenOffice.org and are immediately available after installation;

there is no need for extra downloads. The community have also added

import filters for Quattro Pro 6 and Microsoft Word 2. As well, other

import filters have been improved, so that documents created by other

applications can be edited in OpenOffice.org more seamlessly.

Continuing with the the push to enhance OpenOffice.org's business

functionality, it is now easier to use mail merge. As well,

integration with the KDE address book is now possible.

The appearance of the application has also been enhanced, and for

Linux users, there are new icon sets for KDE and GNOME. The result of

this and the other improvements is not just a prettier OpenOffice.org

but a friendlier and more capable suite.

So, if I have java on my machine, which one do I want to install?

Get the version without JRE. It's 89 MB (as opposed to 103 MB for the one that includes it), and JRE doesn't even seem to be required. I can use OOo Writer and OOo Impress just fine without it.

    • I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
