On 4 Nov 2009 version 0.7.5 of the Java implementation has been released. New convenient methods have been added for Presentation. The Incubator package contains an - already usable - early version of a new API for navigating through ODF documents. Last but not least quite a few bugs have been fixed.

ODFDOM is an open source (Apache 2 license) OpenDocument Format (ODF) library. Its purpose is to provide an easy common way to create, access and manipulate ODF files, without requiring detailed knowledge of the ODF specification. It is designed to provide the ODF developer community with an easy lightwork programming API portable to any object-oriented language.

The current reference implementation is written in Java.
