I am happy to announce that the universal Go-oo 3.1.1 build is available for Linux (i586, x86_64), MAC OSX Intel, and Windows[*]. See also download and installation instructions. The builds include many upstream and Go-oo fixes.
Go-oo team hopes that you will be happy with this release. Though, any software contains bugs and we kindly ask you to report them, so that we could fix them in the future releases. Also you could send feedback to the ooo-build@lists.freedesktop.org mailing list or contact us on irc.freenode.net, channel #go-oo.
[*] We are sorry but the bundled extension with dictionaries is broken in the GoOo-3.2-10.exe Windows build. Please remove it in Tools/Extension Manager… and install the fixed one. Only this single fix will be included in the upcomming GoOo-3.2-11.exe build. We are going to upload it the following week. You need not update to the 3.2-11 build if you re-install the extension manually or if you do not use the spell checker. Only Windows users are affected by this bug. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

PS: I feel a bit schizophrenic. I want to blog about the openSUSE builds at planetsuse and about the universal build at planet.go-oo. Both builds are based on the same sources, so the schedule is almost the same. We only do more alpha and beta builds for openSUSE because it is so easy with the Build Service.
Both comments and pings are currently closed.
I would like to try the Windows version of Go-oo 3.2.11 later this week (on XP SP3), in parallel with the existing OOo 3.1.1
Do I need to take any special steps?
I am afraid that it is not possible. I think that neither the installation directory nor the user configuration directory is configurable. Note that it is basically the same application. The Go-oo build only includes several extra modifications.
What happened to GoOo-3.2-11.exe for Win32? Was this release forgotten?
No, we skipped 3.2-11 and uploaded GoOo-3.2-12.exe with some more fixes.
Just guessing here. They ran out of time after compiling all the other versions, and figured if people were that keen they would just use the dictionary work-a-round for version 3.2.10
The dictionaries should be fixed in GoOo-3.2-12.exe. We just did not upload 3.2-11 because people reported another critical bug in the meantime.
The Mac OS X downloads seem to be OOo and not GoOO. For 3.2, both the download file name and the content of what’s downloaded say OOo and make no mention of GoOO.
