Hei Mike - Yes, they've gone very silent with this new version. - I just
got aware of it wednesday night, so I haven't had the time yet to go
through it. But from the 'new features' etc. there seems not to be that
many differences - but more bugfixes and strengthening it up overall.

I simply don't know whether this ver. 3.2.x will be the last one for the
PowerPC technology, I don't hope so, cause there still are many, many
PowerBooks G4s out there. - The "OOo 3.2.1rc1 20100506 MacOS x86 install
en-US" is - as you can see - only Intel. - But when the ver. 3.2.0 PPC
came out it also happened just 'out-of-the-blue' - noone knew anything
until it suddenly were available.

Here's the link to the final release OpenOffice 3.2.0PPC(US English)
http://download.services.openoffice.org/files/stable/3.2.0/OOo_3.2.0_MacOSXPPC_install_en-US.dmg

If you want other languages, here you can find all available versions
for any system - including Intel and PPC versions available. - Here you
fx. can see that there is both a US-EN ver. 3.2.0 for Intel and PPC, but
only an Intel ver. for UK-EN etc....

And here's the until now available downloads for OOo3.2.1rc1, and this
seems not to include any PPC versions.
http://download.openoffice.org/all_rc.html#untested-full

But sure I hope that there will be further PPC versions maybe as high as
up to ver. 4.0.:-) - I still have a PB G4/1,67ghz both with
10.4.x+classic and 10.5.x and still need the use of the classic
envirement - else I'd bought a MBP instead... I have no MS application
on that machine at all and never will have. I /had/ the MSO2004 and
2008, but it sure slowed down performance, since I only until now have
1gb of RAM on it, but hope soon to have it up to the max of 2gb. - but
no more MS on that machine!

Cheers, Erik Richard
