OpenOffice.org is proud to announce the immediate availability of the
new 1.1.2 version of the award-winning open source office suite,
codenamed Hakone.

This new version is initially available on the Windows

X86) platforms.

In addition to English, builds for Czech, Danish, French, German,
Japanese and Slovak are immediately available with other localisations
following shortly.

Arriving less than three months after version 1.1.1, this release, yet
again, demonstrates the resolve of the OpenOffice.org community to
continuously improve and expand the functionality of the suite.

OpenOffice.org 1.1.2 introduces the FontOOo Autopilot, which downloads
and installs fonts from various sources. In addition, this release
provides improved support for dBase database files, additional language
support, and improved XML export facilities.

About Hakone

Hakone Town is a small hot-spring town in mountainous landscape near Mt.
Fuji. But in 17-18th century this town was also known as the "Hakone
barrier" in Tokaido High Road, defending Edo (Tokyo). Hakone is often
mentioned as a symbol of breakthrough. Shu Minari, the Japanese CD-ROM
project leader, lives near Hakone and is planning to take photos of
Hakone landscapes for a label and jacket design of 1.1.2 CD Japanese
version. When the project creates the 1.1.2 Hakone CD, it will show it
to Hakone Town Administration, Hakone Tourist Association and other
relevant organisations, and ask them if they can place the 1.1.2 Hakone
CDs at souvenir shops since we can also make a 1.1.2 Hakone CD English
version and other language versions.


OpenOffice.org Conference 2004

The annual OpenOffice.org conference will be held at Humboldt
