Posted by Martin Iturbide - Monday, 05 May 2008

Serenity Systems International and Mensys BV are pleased to announce the second public beta of OpenOffice.org 2.4 for eComStation and OS/2.


It is available to anyone with a current OpenOffice.org Support Agreement for eComStation and OS/2, via their download-area at the Mensys Online Shop. http://www.mensys.net/login/

This release is the sixth publicly available version of this office suite.

** Features **
  • Support for XWP/eWPS sliding menu hilite (requires XWorkPlace 1.0.8 or eCS 2.0 RC4)
  • Support for clipboard bitmap formats and unicode text.
  • Support for mouse wheel.
  • Support for WPS integration via seperate package (OOoWPS101.WPI)
  • FT2: this release supports the FreeType2 font engine for better text rendering.
  • NLS: this beta release only contains english currently
A more complete list of changes in this version of OpenOffice.org 2.4.0 can be found at: http://development.openoffice.org/releases/2.4.0.html

** Requirements **

  • UniClip is required to complete installation.
  • LibC 0.6.3 is required to complete installation.
  • Innotek Font Engine is required to run OpenOffice.org 2.4 for eComStation and OS/2.
  • this installation will not overwrite existing installations, you can use it alongside OpenOffice.org 1.1.5 and OpenOffice.org 2.0.4
  • installation should preferably be done on a JFS volume, as it may run slow otherwise. The installation target volume must support long filenames.
  • installation takes around 400 MB of drivespace.
  • this build is based on the 2.4.0 m12 sourcecode of OpenOffice.org.
  • For better rendering of the GUI font, it is suggested to install Workplace Sans TrueType font. This will also visualize the numbering for the vertical ruler, since the default font, WarpSans, cannot be rotated. You can download the Workplace Sans font from the following website: http://users.socis.ca/~ataylo00/creative/fonts/index.html
WPS integration package for OpenOffice.org 2.0 for eComStation and OS/2:
  • Extends the WPS data file class to recognize OpenOffice.org document files
  • Integrated support for WPS-Wizard hint and folder info area
  • Rexx hooks for reading document properties
[To enable this package for OpenOffice.org 2.4b2, you need to install the OOoWPS101.WPI package (if not already installed) and run ?:\OpenOffice.2.4\program\ooodoc.cmd
This script will activate the WPS integration for this release of OpenOffice.org 2.4b2 and remove it from 2.0.4.]
