OpenOffice will see a new release today: version 2.4. Among the new features are improved multi language management and 3D eyecandy for Impress.

OpenOffice.Org 2.4 will be the last version before the new and shiny 3.0 will hit the streets in September/October 2008. While it is only a minor release it does come along with some nice additions:

* Impressive Eye Candy: 3D OpenGL Transitions - Eyecandy! Because it would be nuts to release a piece of software in these days without it!
* Improved multi language support - This is important for all people who are not English natives. And while the current OOo implementation for switching languages just sucks, the new options might help a lot here.
* Exporting PDF/A for long-term archiving
