08 April 2009 - OpenOffice version 3.1 release candidate 1 announced

The OpenOffice team have announced the first publicly available release candidate for the up and coming OpenOffice 3.1 release.

The release announcement isn't easy to read but there are a lot of fixes and improvements. Of particular note are drawings in documents are now anti aliased which makes drawings appear smoother and SQL code now has syntax highlighting.

This release is intended to be used for testing to find any show stopping bugs so use with care.
