Dear Hebrew OOo list members,
Tk Open Systems will be releasing a beta testing version of OOo 2.0 for
Windows only on November 1.
This release is for community testing only and will not be supported. The
purpose of this release is to obtain feedback from the community.
There will be no Hebrew 2.0 release, due to recently introduced multiple
show-stopper bugs in the RTL functionality of 2.0, particularly in the
Unix style platforms.
The next Hebrew OOo release will be 2.01, which is planned for the first
week in December. The 2.01 release will include support for Windows and
Linux. Solaris and Mac will not be released. Hebrew and English language
packs for Windows and Linux will be released.
The Hebrew OOo 2.0 testing release and the 2.01 production release will
include the Culmus fonts and the Hspell spelling checker. The Masterfont
fonts included in previous versions of OOo distributed by Sun Microsystems
Israel will be discontinued.
In accordance with recent licensing changes at OOo, Hebrew OOo will be
released under the GPL license until further notice. Non-viral open source
licensing is available by special request (and for a fee) from Tk Open
Systems).
Tk Open Systems will offer telephone support for OOo 2.01 for a charge of
NIS 90 per year per user. Free telephone support will be discontinued due
to the withdrawal of Sun Microsystems Israel from the Hebrew Open Office
project.
Support for the 2.0 and 2.01 versions is provided by the Government of
Israel Ministry of Finance Tehilla project under the management of Boaz
Dolev and auspices of Itzik Cohen.
Best regards for a profitable and peaceful year,
- yba
Jonathan Ben-Avraham
CEO, Tk Open Systems Ltd.
