Download Apache OpenOffice 4.1.12

Version 4.1.12 of OpenOffice has been released. This open source office suite started in 1984 as StarOffice. It passed into the hands of Sun Microsystems in 1999 and then joined Oracle in 2010. After a number of developers switched to LibreOffice out of dissatisfaction with how Oracle managed this project, the source code was eventually donated to the Apache Software Foundation. OpenOffice comes with a word processor (Writer), a spreadsheet program (Calc), a presentation program (Impress), a drawing program (Draw), a database program (Base), and a scientific notation program (Formula). The changelog for this release looks like this:
