I want to thank all Early Access Program members and subscribers that participated in the NeoOffice 3.0 Early Access Program. Without your participation, we would have not been able to find and fix the various OpenOffice.org and Go-oo crashing and other critical bugs before NeoOffice 3.0. While there are probably still many bugs to be found and fixed, helping us find critical bugs during the Early Access Program helps eliminate problems for all users which, in turn, helps us stretch our limited support resources to more users.

Unfortunately, we have not been able integrate OpenOffice.org's Universal Access code into NeoOffice so if you need Universal Access support, we recommend that you use OpenOffice.org, Microsoft Office, or Apple iWork.

Unfortunately, there is no patch available to upgrade NeoOffice 3.0.1 Early Access installations to NeoOffice 3.0.1. The bug fixes that we made after NeoOffice 3.0.1 Early Access Patch 2 was released are too large to include in a patch. As a result, NeoOffice 3.0.1 Early Access users will need to download and install NeoOffice 3.0.1.

3579 - Accept/Reject Changes dialog no longer highlights text
3580 - Apple Remote Control does not work on Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard
3581 - NeoOffice crashes randomly when Mac OS X secure memory is enabled
3582 - Cursor and character postions do not match when using full width justification
3583 - Checkbox does not show "dash" option
3584 - Bad hyperlink displays error message on Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard
3585 - Highlighting Writer table cells fails
3587 - Some Calc documents crash when the Formula Syntax setting is set to "Excel A1" or "Excel R1C1"
Important note for Calc users who are using "Excel A1" or "Excel R1C1" as the formula syntax: in order to fix bug 3587, we had to remove the ability to use "Excel A1" or "Excel R1C1" as the formula syntax. This feature was an experimental feature developed by Novell's Go-oo engineers that we have included in NeoOffice 3.0.1 and 3.0.2 Early Access. Unfortunately, we have found that Novell's experimental feature makes NeoOffice Calc unstable and since Novell's engineers have removed this feature from their Go-oo releases, we were unable to fix the stability bugs in their code. As a result, we had to remove this feature.
