Description Sergey Torokhov 2019-09-21 21:55:42 UTC
Apache OpenOffice was released on 21 Sep 2019.

@chithanh, please update this package.


1. Announcing Apache OpenOffice 4.1.7:  https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/entry/announcing-apache-openoffice-4-13
2. Relase notes: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+4.1.7+Release+Notes
3. Download page: https://www.openoffice.org/download/

Main improvements include:
* Adds support for AdoptOpenJDK as well as Oracle Java
* Possible crash in Freetype code
* Crash in Writer when linking frames on OS/2
* Apache OpenOffice TM in Splash screen has different background


I early tested to install a release candidate of AOO 4.1.7  "Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.7_Linux_x86-64_install-rpm_en-US.tar.gz" 
on Gentoo Linux with several Java VM being installed:

1. dev-java/oracle-jdk-bin-1.8.0.202 
is recognized by AOO as "Oracle Corporation 1.8.0_202" at /opt/oracle-jdk-bin-1.8.0.202/jre/

2. dev-java/icedtea-bin-3.13.0 
is recognized by AOO as "AdoptOpenJDK 11.0.4" at /opt/openjdk-jre-bin-11.0.4_p11/

3. dev-java/openjdk-jre-bin-11.0.4_p11 (without "gentoo-vm" USE flag)
wasn't auto-detected, after manual addition is recognized by AOO as "OpenJDK 1.8.0_222" at /opt/icedtea-bin-3.13.0/jre/

At the first run of oowriter I recieved warning: "javaldx: invalid settings. User must select a JRE from options dialog!" that disappeared after Java VM selection.

"Help" and "Bibliography Database" ran and seems to be work with all of installed Java VM implementations.

Reproducible: Always
