That is very good news. I will release the current test patch code as NeoOffice 3.1.2 Patch 5 in the next 24 hours (I had it staged this weekend but I had not yet pushed it to our volunteer mirror sites). I will post again when Patch 5 is available for download.
FYI. I am going to delay release of NeoOffice 3.1.2 Patch 5 until this coming Sunday or Monday. Although Patch 5 is ready to go, we are going to release NeoOffice 3.2 Beta Sunday or Monday and, because of that upcoming new version, we have a lot of website changes half done so we will release Patch 5 at the same time as NeoOffice 3.2 Beat.
P.S. I wanted to break this post off into a separate topic entitled 'NeoOffice 3.2beta preparations', but I seem to ave either lost that privilege, or forgotten how to do it. _________________ "What do you think of Western Civilization?"

Probably. The nice thing is that for this release most of the pages will be copies of the existing NeoOffice 3.1.2 pages. Since we require donations to post, the old "Early Access Program" download approach really puts too many hurdles for users so we will just make a parallel set of download pages so that downloading the Beta release is free and identical in process to the current regular download pages.
However, I will add text for the following. There might be other add text but I'll know better later this week:
1. Warning that this is a Beta release and is not a "production release" yet so use NeoOffice 3.1.2 if you need the most stable version.
2. Text that tells PowerPC users to download NeoOffice 3.1.2 and where they can download it from.
3. Some text on in the features list that describes the new "CoreText" text layout and rendering feature.

I see implied that you will only be giving new support to Intel machines.
This happened several months ago to calibre, a great e-book manager.
I was sorry to see my iMac G5 (PPC) die nearly 2 years ago but I have been pleased with the MacBook (Intel) as a replacement although it has had 2 new architectures for the I/O since then. So it is not just software that gets older and harder to support. I'd love bigger real estate but it wouldn't fit on my lap in front of the TV, sigh. And who can pay for new every year?
Hope this goes smoothly and that my "testing" has helped mature the old and finds a place in the new NeoOffice. Long live NO!
