The OpenOffice Project has released OpenOffice 1.1.2, an open source office suite for Linux and Windows that saves all its files as zipped XML. I used the previous 1.0 version to write Effective XML. 1.1.2 introduces the FontOOo Autopilot, a tool that downloads and installs fonts from various sources. This release also improves support for dBase database files and XML export; but mostly it fixes a lot of bugs and makes numerous improvements to localisation in a few languages.
