Dear Apache OpenOffice® Dear Apache OpenOffice Users,


thank Thank you for your interest in Apache OpenOffice OpenOffice® and your on-going support over the
years. You may have heard (e.g., through our support forums) that OpenOffice has
problems with Apple's new macOS 11 (Big Sur).

When opening modern Microsoft Office Documents (files that end with docx, xlsx, etc.)
  for
example), OpenOffice crashes. There is no workaround at this point, but we are going to
fix the
issue soon.

We would be happy to give you more details if you want to help us with testing. Just
write a mail to the developers mailing list dev@openoffice.apache.org.

The main reason is to fix the bug on Big Sur. We will also include some other minor fixes
in the release, so all platforms can benefit from the new release. We know that this is a
pressing issue to our Mac users, so you can expect the release soon on our
download web page.
