OpenOffice.org 1.0.3.1 is a respin of the 1.0.3 release and fixes a bug in printing. OpenOffice.org 1.0.3 is the result of development on the cvs branch tagged "OOO_STABLE_1". Some builds have already been released from this branch, namely OpenOffice.org 1.0.2, 1.0.1, 1.0.0, and earlier the snapshots 641, 641C and 641D. Development was focussed on bug fixes. Thus, in these release notes, you won't find the 'features' section as in other (developer branch) releases but a section describing bug fixes.
