Announcing Apache OpenOffice 4.1.2

28 October 2015 - The Apache OpenOffice project is pleased to announce the immediate availability of OpenOffice 4.1.2. You can download it from the official website http://www.openoffice.org/download

Apache OpenOffice 4.1.2 brings stability fixes, bug fixes and enhancements. All users of Apache OpenOffice 4.1.1 or earlier are advised to upgrade.

Main improvements include:

• Bug fixes in Writer, Calc, Impress/Draw, Base.
• Better WebDAV and file locking support: OpenOffice is now able to properly interact with Microsoft Sharepoint. These enhancements were funded, and contributed upstream, by the Emilia-Romagna regional administration (Italy), where OpenOffice was adopted a few years ago.
• Redesign of the PDF export dialog for better usability on small laptop screens.
• Updates of underlying libraries, for better performance and increased security.
• Security vulnerability fixes. See the security announcements page for more information.

A complete list of the issues fixed in this release can be found at http://s.apache.org/9uI

Details of new features and enhancements in this release are described in the Release Notes.

The OpenOffice community dedicates version 4.1.2 to the memory of Ian Lynch, a member of the OpenOffice Project Management Committee and a key contributor to marketing and education efforts, who passed away earlier this year.
