I'm proposing to send the following note out to ooo-announce and ooo-users. We should be making such information available for admins and others who support OOo installations. We probably should have sent this out earlier, but better now than never.
Is there anything else we should add that would be off use to an admi? For example, it is common for larger companies to disable such auto updates for critical software. Instead they prefer to test such upgrades first, and then roll them out via a login script. How would an admin disable the notifications? Regards, -Rob ------------------------------------- We have enabled the upgrade notification server for OpenOffice.org 3.3.0. By default OOo 3.3.0 checks for updates once a week. When an upgrade is available, a dialog pops up and notifies the user about the update, and directs them to a website where they can learn more and download Apache OpenOffice 3.4. The update notifications are HTTP GET requests to an openoffice.org address, using standard ports and protocols. So no special administrative action should be required to enable receipt of these notifications. If you are an OpenOffice.org 3.3.0 user and have not received an upgrade notification yet, you can manually check via the "Help/Check for Upgrades" menu item in OpenOffice. Or, go directly to http://download.openoffice.org to download Apache OpenOffice 3.4.0.
