CDS 1.63 Released: Built-in OpenOffice Document Support, Firefox 1.5 Toolbar

Tuesday, December 20th, 2005

A new version of CDS has been released yesterday and it features one main addition: full content indexing of OpenOffice.org (1.1, 2.x) and StarOffice (7.x and 8.x) documents. Supported file types include Writer text documents, Impress presentations and Calc spreadsheets.

Because of the rapidly growing popularity of these open source office productivity suites – mainly due to the impressive latest upgrades – we decided to add support for OpenDocument files right into the base product, instead of releasing a plug-in which users have to install separately.

CDS 1.63 also features an updated toolbar compatible with Firefox 1.5 and various maintenance fixes.

To the question "What happened to v1.62?" the answer is that it was only released to our distribution partners. You didn’t miss anything: it only included better rebrandability features.

Nicholas Copernicus’ Grave Is Reported Found

Sunday, November 6th, 2005

It is virtually confirmed that the remains of Nicholas Copernicus were found underneath the floor of a Polish cathedral by local archeologists. Copernicus (koh-PUHR’-nih-kihs), who has been called the father of modern astronomy, was the man who challenged the old belief that the sun and the other planets revolved around the earth.

For those wondering why we named our company Copernic, it is to honor the revolutionary mind and discoveries of this Polish astronomer. Just like him, we strive to keep on seeing things differently. History proves that’s how the world evolves!

Well, Copernic’s own Neal Romagnolo from our Boston offices is flying back from the West Coast with his luggage a little heavier: he went to Monterey, CA, to accept the very flattering Seventh Annual AIIP Technology Award.
