I didn't know that this week is a short one in the US.
As Dave suggested, I can extend the vote till December 1. Will it be OK to you?

-1 on pro forma that the voting should end next week. It is a very
short week in the US.

Hi All,
As you may noticed, there has been much development activity in POI over the
last two months.
There have been quite a few bug fixes and improvements, especially in the
OOXML part of POI.
So, I think it's time for a next beta (hopefully the last one before
3.5-FINAL).
The release artifacts can be downloaded from the following URL:
http://people.apache.org/~yegor/REL_3_5_BETA4
The revision number of the release is r719547 and tagged as REL_3_5_BETA4.
Below is a short summary of key changes:
(1) XSSF module has been significantly reworked and reached the state close
to its HSSF counterpart.
To help you evaluate the current state of XSSF I created a set of rich
examples. The examples are based on common XSSF-HSSF interfaces so that you
can generate either *.xls or *.xlsx output just by setting a command-line
argument:
http://poi.apache.org/spreadsheet/examples.html
Sample output can be download from
http://people.apache.org/~yegor/ss_examples/
(2) JDK 1.5 is now a minimum requirement.
(3) Finally, 3.5-beta4 fully supports Maven. All POI dependencies including
ooxml-schemas and OpenXML4J are now on the central Maven repository.
(4) This time there are no special artifacts for Maven. The Maven artifacts
are deployed by a auto-generated script created by the "ant dist" command.
See http://people.apache.org/~yegor/REL_3_5_BETA4/mvn-deploy.sh.
(5) As usual, the release includes numerous bug fixes and improvements. The
list of changes is available in the change log:
http://poi.apache.org/changes.html
The vote options are:
[ ]+1 - I support the release
[ ] 0 - I don't care
[ ]-1 - I'm opposed to the release because...
I'm voting [+1]. Voting will last a week and end on Friday, 28th November.
