SANTA CLARA, CA - 27 October 2009 - NeoOffice.org is pleased to announce the release of NeoOffice 3.0.1. NeoOffice 3.0.1 is available for all users from the NeoOffice download page.

NeoOffice is a full-featured set of office applications (including word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation programs) for Mac OS X. Based on the OpenOffice.org office suite, NeoOffice has integrated dozens of native Mac features and can import, edit, and exchange files with other popular office programs such as Microsoft Office.

NeoOffice is one of the most stable office suites for Mac OS X. We have created an office suite that is adapted to the unique needs of Mac users by taking the features in Oracle's OpenOffice.org office suite and adding improvements such as:

• Extremely stable Mac OS X code that has been in daily use by hundreds of thousands of NeoOffice users since 2003
• Significant speed improvements to the OpenOffice.org code
• Special services for our donors

NeoOffice 3.0.1 includes nearly all of the features in OpenOffice.org 3.0.1 and includes many of the most commonly used features in Microsoft Office. The only OpenOffice.org feature that is missing from NeoOffice 3.0.1 is Mac OS X Universal Access support. Unfortunately, we have not been able integrate OpenOffice.org's Universal Access code into NeoOffice so if you need Universal Access support, we recommend that you use OpenOffice.org, Microsoft Office, or Apple iWork.

This release adds several new features including:

• Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard support
• NeoOffice Mobile
• Native file locking support for local and networked volumes

NeoOffice 3.0.1 can be downloaded by all Mac OS X users from the NeoOffice download page. The NeoOffice project is funded entirely by donations from our users so please consider making a small donation before downloading to help us continue to improve NeoOffice.

If you have any support questions, a list of suggested steps for finding an answer for a problem as fast as possible is available on the NeoOffice Support page. Since over half of our donations come from a small percentage of our users, we provide priority support to our most generous donors in our NeoOffice forums.

If you have any NeoOffice Mobile questions, please ask your question in the NeoOffice Mobile Support forum.

Special thanks also go to the following organizations and people:

• All NeoOffice donors. The NeoOffice project is funded entirely by the time and money donated by our users. Without the generous donations and volunteer hours made by our users, this release would not have been possible.
• OpenOffice.org for creating their well-supported Windows, Linux, and Solaris code upon which NeoOffice is built.
• The Go-oo project for their many enhancements to the OpenOffice.org code.

Like NeoOffice.org, these organizations and people are dedicated to providing open source software as a public service to people throughout the world at no cost. Their generosity helps make free applications like NeoOffice possible.
