I would therefore like to say Goodbye to Sun Microsystems. It&#8217;s been great working with you, it&#8217;s been great sharing years of my life as a Free Software contributor.

Many thanks to all the many people who made this possible (in no particular order): Mathias Bauer (Sfx), Andre Fischer (Impress), Thomas Lange (Writer), +Christian Lippka (Impress), Niklas Nebel (Calc), Christoph Noack (User +Experience), Regina Henschel, Hasan Ilter (QA), Jörg Skottke (QA), Thorsten Bosbach (QA), Oliver Craemer (QA), Eric Savary (QA). (I hope I didn't forget anyone).</p> + <p>The new UI and the underlying printing infrastructure (which change quite a bit under the hood) can now be tested; if you find any issues (of which there undoubtedly will be some, in such a large change there are invariably some bugs that eluded our best efforts of finding them), please report them.
