Hi All
It's been about 4 months since POI 3.7 and we've fixed quite a lot of bugs
and added new features. So, I'd like to propose that we do a beta release
now.
The release candidate files are available from:
http://people.apache.org/~yegor/REL_3_8_BETA1/<http://people.apache.org/%7Enick/POI-3.7-beta1/>
(The standard packages of source and binary are under */dist/*, while the
jars and poms to feed into the maven repo are in */maven/*)
Please note the structural changes since POI 3.7:
- POI now uses stax-api-1.0.1.jar instead of
geronimo-stax-api_1.0_spec-1.0.jar in ooxml-lib
- there is a new module poi-excelant, new jar and new maven artifact.
As with all Apache release votes, please check that not only does the code
work, and no major breakages have occurred since the last release, but also
that packaging is correct, license headers and notices exist etc.
The vote options are:
+1 - I support this release
0 - I don't object to this release, but I haven't checked it
-1 - There's a problem with the release, and that is ....
I'm voting [+1]. Voting will end on Monday, 7th March.
Yegor
