In July, former chair Andrea Pescetti became release manager. Recently, however, OpenOffice has showed signs of straightening itself out. The situation wasn't helped, either, by project manager Jan Iversen, who reacted to any mention of these difficulties with hostility, accusing writers of bias and refusing to cooperate with them. Noting such facts, several writers have described the project as almost dying, and called for its remnants to merge with LibreOffice, with which it shares the common ancestor of. The position of release manager was vacant for nine months, and project reports admit to a shortage of developers and infrastructure for welcoming new ones. Since then, progress in the project has been glacial, with a security vulnerability left unpatched since April 2014. OpenOffice's last release was 4.1.1 on August 21, 2014. However, whether the progress will be enough to make the project a success remains impossible to predict.
