Only as source code. We don't provide any official binaries and those who do 
will often skip releases for various reasons.

For example the Mac version I have packaged is (apart from a trivial 
compatibility fix in a configuration file) over three years old. I'm sorry 
about that but I do not have a Mac computer myself and thus cannot update it 
anymore.

LibreOffice project will announce its extension repository soon. Since I'm 
involved with that project as well I have started to consider whether we 
should publish Voikko extensions for different operating systems and languages 
as a semi-official team. Obviously there are Mac users of Voikko these days so 
it might be a reasonable thing to do. I could handle the Windows versions, 
anyone interested in helping with Mac builds?
