[Marcus (OOo)]

Hello OpenOffice community,

today we want to share with you the announcement from below.

Thank You

to all who have helped to make this new release happen. Especially the
Mac community will be happy again as they can use DOCX, XLSX; and PPTX
document again.

PS:
The Apache Blog server is having an outage at the moment. So, please be
patient as the usual announcement is not yet there.

07 February 2021 - Apache OpenOffice, the leading Open Source office
document productivity suite, announced today Apache OpenOffice 4.1.9,
now available in 41 languages on Windows, macOS and Linux.

Apache OpenOffice 4.1.9 is a maintenance release aimed at correcting
some regressions and delivering the latest English dictionary. All users
of Apache OpenOffice 4.1.8 or earlier are advised to upgrade.

For the complete overview see the list in Bugzilla:
https://s.apache.org/AOO-419changes

Hello Marcus,

first of all I want to thank you and all the people involved with
preparing this release!

At the moment, the link on top of www.openoffice.org takes to a HTTP
404 page -- apparently a missing blog entry. But the site
blogs.apache.org seems to be working and so our blog:
https://blogs.apache.org/ooo/

Maybe it's worth removing the link until the blog entry will be ready?

Just my two cents, as in Europe we are deep into our business hours
and this small problem may be quite well noticed.

Thank you again and best regards.

the reason was an outage of parts of the Blog system. The announcement
was ready but couldn't be published and therefore not displayed for the
public.

Too bad it was while the go-live was runnning.

In the meantime I was able to publish the announcement.

I don't think it can be removed but only pointing to other target.

I know the other side would be to delay the release. But I've decided
not to wait any longer just because one task is not possible.

Hi all

I am happy to announce that I was notified today about the availability of a new AOO version!

Congratulations to all for the previous effort to fix notifications in 4.1.8!

One question: does someone have the permissions to update the Sourceforge page?

It is a little absurd that on the main page for OpenOffice
https://sourceforge.net/projects/openofficeorg.mirror/
it reports Project Activity
3 years ago
when the latest files have been uploaded on 2021-02-02

Regards,
Pedro

I don't know how to edit this. I don't find any hint for it - even as
admin. Must be a thing of SF.net.

Can we ask them? I volunteer to do that on behalf of AOO if you don't have the time.

I have an old one but not associated to OpenOffice
In any case I wrote to support and they answered that they are investigating the issue. It has been a week since they answered. I will give them a few more days before asking for progress.

No problem, I only thought about giving you administrative rights.

Thanks, I did not find any possibility to change it.

It seems to be a generated RSS feed that stopped working years ago...

Hi all

Following up on the issue I raised about the Project Activity at
https://sourceforge.net/projects/openofficeorg.mirror/
(that shows version 4.1.4 from 3 years ago)

the answer from the Sourceforge staff was

This is not what I expected but hopefully it will be fixed with the next release.

All the best,

I am OK with that, given that we are already planning on the next version.

yes, thanks

If this will still not work like we would expect it, I suggest to delete
it completely as IMHO the value add for the user is really low.
