To avoid any confusion with AOO 4.1 we will add a MacOS version check. For testing I checked against 10.8 and running on a 10.7 system. The check will mark the OpenOffice.app as not useable and if somebody double click on it a dialog pops up to give addtinal information. See http://people.apache.org/~jsc/screenshots/MacOS_version_check_AOO4.1.png for a preview. For AOO 4.1 we will check against 10.7.0 Juergen --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
