OpenOffice.org Ninja takes an early look at New Features in OpenOffice.org 3.1, due to be released in two months.

True to its practice of frequent releases, OOo 3.1 will follow OOo 3.0 by six months (with the bugfix release 3.0.1 midway in-between).

Lots of visual improvements are included in this release, including antialiasing in drawings, solid dragging of graphical elements, and translucent selections in Writer (like 3.0 introduced in Calc). Some other notable feature improvements include replying to notes in Writer, better integration of grammar checking through the LanguageTool extension, right-to-left (RTL) text improvements for Arabic and Hebrew users, and hundreds of bug fixes.

It looks like another excellent release!
