David, Note that the address you sent your message to is "*users*@ openoffice.apache.org". We are *users* of OpenOffice like you, not the *maintainers* of the software.
There is a "support forum" at this address: http://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/ . You might also be interested in the bug-tracking system at http://bz.apache.org/ooo/ . By the way, it would have been helpful if you had included a link to (or the content of) the "Announcement of 6th January". I don't recall that announcement, and I can't find it in the archive of messages sent to users@openoffice.apache.org, so I can't tell what problems you are having. Perhaps you were referring to this message that was posted on *4th* January: From: Dave Fisher <w...@apache.org> Subject: Re: Apache for Mac Big Sur? Date: 2021/01/04 18:28:10 List: users@openoffice.apache.org Hi - What fails currently with OpenOffice on BigSur is opening Microsoft Office Open XML files - docx, xlsx, pptx, and the rest. A new release 4.1.9 is in the pipeline which has been confirmed by French user forum members to fix this issue. The release will take a week to three weeks to go through our volunteer’s testing. If you are interested in helping test then please join the developer list at d...@openoffice.apache.org <ma...@openoffice.apache.org>.
