I am glad to announce that after what amounts to now the longest
delay between two subsequentive snapshots, a new OpenOffice.org
snapshot (625) has been released. New and exciting features in it
include:

  • On unix platforms, out of the box support for printing using an
    Xprint server
  • Sweeping rewrites and enhancements to the database
    component
  • The default file formats for the components have been changed
    to XML
  • Vastly improved support for compiling/running on *BSDs

As per usual, there is full support for compiling on Linux/x86,
Linux/PPC, Solaris (sparc and x86) and Win32 platforms.

Full description of changes/enhancements is available in the

release notes
.
