Although LibreOffice may have forked off from it and picked up developers and innovation by the bucket load, the faithful old brand, now under the direction of Apache Software Foundation, has seen its first release since January 2011.
This new release of OpenOffice doesn't contain anything game changing, but does have some improved features, faster startup times, and a new color picker.
- Faster startup times
- Improved ODF Encryption
- Various minor additions to Calc
- Support for SVGs in all apps
- New look color picker

Looking Forward
Apache OpenOffice has announced initial aims for future releases. These include adding ‘new features and improvements from the upcoming IBM Lotus Symphony contribution’, ‘additional native languages’ and ‘enhanced accessibility, usability and performance improvements’.

Oh, and if you have LibreOffice already installed, then remove it to get this. It is not recommended you run both office suites on the same machine.
