says:

Writer2LaTeX version 0.4 beta

OK, when we assume the Readme is right and it was just not changed in the .jaav 
files this version is old; http://www.hj-gym.dk/~hj/writer2latex/ talks
about 0.4 beta2 and 0.4 final which according to the homepage fix many bugs..
I think it should be updated....

[ And also I think that it might make sense to regularily update or make
  the development in-tree, like now with pyuno to avoid getting obsolete/
  diverging ]

sus->rene:

You are right, the version is unclear, but it is not old in OO.o.


For instance, as a hint take in the look into the Application.java you linked
and you will find a variable
"private static final String VERSION = "0.4";"

But I just download the 0.4 and made a DIFF over all java files, there are only
two differences and those even without semantic value.

Even the readme in the official 0.4 is stating to be the 0.4beta2.

Grave is possilby an strange issue, the release engineering had fixed recently:
writer2latex\latex\content\DrawConverter.java, line 196
"           horizontal-on-even (vandret på ulige hhv. lige side)."
where the danish 'a' results into an error under some Java machines of OO.o
comunity members.

But it might depend on the build environment of the community, therefore was not
reported.

Please address these issue directly to the maintainer / active members of the
opensource writer2latex project. I put henrikjust on CC.

Due my current work-load I won't be able to bring in the changes in OOo, either.

Regards,
Svante

Changing Summary from "writer2latex version unclear and old" to "writer2latex
version unclear"
Comment 3 rene 2008-12-08 13:06:43 UTC 
is now clearly visible in writer2latexexternal
Comment 4 rene 2008-12-08 13:26:21 UTC 
re-adding the "old" since we're at 0.5 since longer, and now even have 0.5.0.2 :-)
