In other words, "if you do something unsupported, Neo/J might not throw errors any more and actually let you save...but you're still doing something unsupported"
Thanks for the clarification. I'll leave the wiki article as-is.

I have just released NeoOffice/J 1.1 Release Candidate "Patch-3". "Patch-3" includes the following bug fixes:
- Right-to-left text - Neo/J did not handle intermixed right-to-left and left-to-right text. This bug has been fixed.
- Random crashing - A memory leak in Neo/J that was causing random crashing after using Neo/J for long periods. This bug has been fixed.
You can download "Patch-3" from the following URL:
http://www.planamesa.com/neojava/patch.php
Please post any bugs that you find in Bugzilla at http://bugzilla.neooffice.org/.

Thanks Patrick. It is also on the Torrent. I've got it and I've found no problems, yet.
Now for that well deserved break. I have to find the latest sources and to see what I can do to help in the construction of NeoOffice/J.

I have just released NeoOffice/J 1.1 Release Candidate "Patch-4".
"Patch-4" includes the following bug fixes:
- Installation of Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" - Some users have found that installing Tiger on their machine causes the "tar" command to be deleted. Without this command, both the Neo/J patch installer and Neo/J itself would not work correctly. This problem has been fixed by making Neo/J no longer use the tar command.
- Document list in the "Window" menu - Under certain circumstances, selecting a document in the Window menu would not work properly. This bug has been fixed.
- Transparent 3D images - When Neo/J's OpenGL support is turned on, transparent 3D images would not be drawn correctly. This bug has been fixed.
Also included in this patch is the NeoLight Spotlight plugin. NeoLight is a metadata importer for NeoOffice/J and OpenOffice.org 1.x formatted documents. It allows for searching and indexing of these documents based upon standard OpenOffice.org metadata and textual content, allowing for Neo/J and OpenOffice.org to be integrated directly with the Mac OS X 10.4 Spotlight environment. When you install "Patch-4" on Tiger, the NeoLight Spotlight plugin will automatically be installed and activated.
You can download "Patch-4" from the following URL:
http://www.planamesa.com/neojava/patch.php
Please post any bugs that you find in Bugzilla at http://bugzilla.neooffice.org/ or post any questions in one of the NeoOffice/J or NeoLight forums.

I upgraded to Tiger from Panther and tar is alive and well. This may be a random occurrance but better to be safe and remove this dependency.

I have just released NeoOffice/J 1.1 Release Candidate "Patch-5". The big change in "Patch-5" is that closing the last Neo/J document will no longer display an empty window. With this patch, Neo/J will stay running with an empty menubar after closing the last document.
After closing the last document, you can open a document without having to relaunch Neo/J by opening a file from the Finder or by selecting one of the following localized menu items in the "NeoOffice/J" menu:
- Text Document
- Spreadsheet
- Presentation
- Drawing
- Formula
- From Template
- Open Document
In addition, "Patch-5" includes the following bug fixes:
- Hyphenation between ligatures - When a word was hyphenated between the letters of a ligature, the ligature would be superimposed over the hyphen and a space would be left at the beginning of the next line. This bug has been fixed.
- Java 1.5 on Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger - For some users, installation of Java 1.5 would cause Neo/J to not be able to load Java 1.3.1 and Neo/J would crash. This bug has been fixed.
- Crashes after displaying native print dialogs - In certain cases, Neo/J would crash after displaying the native "Print" or "Page Setup" dialog. This bug has been fixed.
You can download "Patch-5" from the following URL:
http://www.planamesa.com/neojava/patch.php
Please post any bugs that you find in Bugzilla at http://bugzilla.neooffice.org/ or post any questions in one of the NeoOffice/J forums.

Patrick,
When opening NeoOffice/J you can press Command-W or choose Close from the menu bar and the default window will close leaving a blank window. Closing this one gives the Menu Bar alone. On the other hand, opening NeoOffice/J and closing the open window by clicking the red close button from the window doesn't give a blank window but immediately the Menu Bar alone.
Is this behaviour intended?
Best regards,
Alex |

The behavior was left over from old hacks to keep Neo/J from quitting on cmd-w (two different codepaths in OOo, one for the red globe and one for cmd-w!), but Patrick has already fixed it: bug 799

Yesterday, I released NeoOffice/J 1.1 Release Candidate "Patch-5". Unfortunately, the fix for the "crashes after displaying native print dialogs" bug can cause scaling to change between pages when a document is printed.
This bug was reported and fixed this morning so I have released NeoOffice/J 1.1 Release Candidate "Patch-6" with the fix. "Patch-6" also includes the fix for bug 799.
If you downloaded "Patch-5", I recommend that you download and install "Patch-6" so that your documents will print correctly.

That would explain why my document didn't print out correctly.
But I am wondering why NeoOfficeJ didn't prompt me to download Patch 6 when I opened the app this morning, as has occurred when previous patches were released? |

So as to not annoy people , the patch check only runs once a week (or there about). Since patches are generally released a week to two weeks apart, that system works fine. Occasionally there's a situation where a patch inadvertantly introduces a bug that significantly impairs major Neo/J functionality (like Printing) and a new patch is released as soon as Patrick can fix the problem, and in these situations the patch check interval doesn't work so well

The patch check was throttled back from user requests, particularly those off of dial-up or intermittently connected machines. Normally it's not bad and probably will be getting better as well as Patrick has things stabilizing quite nicely

You mean the other way around, right? Patch Check does "nothing" if you're not connected...it fires off curl and fails gracefully. At least that's how I remember its behavior when it debuted, and it was the always-online folks (and the general "no hidden processes" folks) complaining
Smokey
P.S. Patrick, Ed, Dan: those emails I sent y'all this weekend should have had a "Have a happy Memorial Day weekend " line in them (the perils of emailing while tired). I was working, but I expected Ed to be out hiking, and so forth _________________ "[...] whether the duck drinks hot chocolate or coffee is irrelevant." -- ovvldc and sardisson in the NeoWiki |

Ah, that makes sense.
Guess in cases like this, it pays to check the forum. |

You can also sign up for the Neo/J Update mailing list (see http://www.planamesa.com/neojava/contact.php for details); Patrick always posts a message to that list after a patch is released and includes some details of what's changed.
