Hi Oliver, Would it be possible to also include 3.1.0 in the update notifications? I mention this because that is what openoffice.us.com is installing, and they probably get a good number of hits, due to their search engine advertisements. (The are #1 when searching for 'OpenOffice' on Bing.) We don't need to agree with their methods, but I think we should try to help the users. If they are installing this ancient code they are susceptible to all sorts of security issues. As far as I can tell they are offering only Windows en-US downloads. I just installed on a VM and the About box says it is OOO310m11 (Build:9399). I tried installing AOO 3.4 on top of the 3.1.0 install and it worked fine. The only odd thing I saw was that it left an empty "OpenOffice.org 3.1" folder in the Start menu. I think that is cleaned up when upgrading 3.3 ==> 3.4. But otherwise everything worked fine. We might need to maintain these update notifications from release to release, so long as some of these exploitation sites continue to push old versions onto users. -Rob > These would be OOo 3.2/3.2.1 versions of the following languages on Windows, > MacOS X, Linux 32bit and Linux 64bit: > - English (US) > - Arabic > - Chinese (simplified) > - Chinese (traditional) > - Czech > - Dutch > - French > - Galician > - German > - Hungarian > - Italian > - Japanese > - Portuguese (Brazilian) > - Russian > - Spanish > > If nobody objects, I will work on the following tasks to make this happen: > (A) get in contact with Apache infrastructure in order to get the following > Update URLs of OOo 3.2.1 and OOo 3.2 redirected: > -- http://update35.services.openoffice.org/ProductUpdateService/check.Update > -- http://update34.services.openoffice.org/ProductUpdateService/check.Update > These are the Update URL of OOo 3.2.1 resp.
