Release of 8daysaweek CD for Windows v8.10

Postby James » Mon Oct 13, 2008 12:32 pm

OpenOffice.org 3.0 was released today, 13th October 2008.

When a new version of a major program included on the CD is released, we try to get our latest CD out as soon as possible.

We hope to make the 8daysaweek CD for Windows® available later this week, and the 8daysaweek CD for Mac OS X (Intel) available early next week. These will both include OpenOffice.org 3.0.

Therefore, any orders placed for these items from now will be regarded as pre-orders for the new CDs, and will not be despatched until the CDs are ready/released.

To place your pre-order now: click here to order 38363

OpenOffice.org Release Announcment wrote:At the start of its 10th anniversary year, and with over 300 million downloads recorded in total, the OpenOffice.org Community today announced the release of ... OpenOffice.org 3.2.

OpenOffice.org 3.2 new features include:
  • faster start up times
  • improved compatibility with open standard (ODF) and proprietary file formats
  • improvements to all components, particularly the Calc spreadsheet, with over a dozen new or enhanced features
  • [Charts are easier to use, and new chart types are available]
All users are encouraged to upgrade to the new release, because of the potential security vulnerabilities addressed in 3.2.

Release of: 8daysaweek CD for Windows® 10.06, 10.07, v10.07b
Scroll down, or click next page, for updates to this release.

A few 10.06 and 10.07 discs were despatched, before we had chance to update this page. Then, as often is the case, new versions of some of the programs were released. We always try to release the latest versions, so we updated the discs and incremented the version numbers.

The 8daysaweek CD for Windows® v10.07b includes OpenOffice.org 3.2.1


OpenOffice.org Release Announcment wrote:OpenOffice.org 3.2.1 is a so-called micro release that comes with bugfixes and improvements, with no new features being introduced. This release also fixes security issues, so we recommend everyone to upgrade to the new version as soon as possible.

This version is also the first one to be released with the project's new main sponsor, Oracle, and comes with a refreshed logo and splash screen.
