Hi, I just uploaded version 1.0.12 of the io package to the package release forum. Many bugs have been fixed in the spreadsheet function files, especially a number of corner-case bugs in the .ods (OpenOffice.org Calc) ones, and I've updated help texts and the html files in ./doc. Initially I added support for a newer ODF toolkit version (0.8) which has a much easier API; however it turned out that this version had so many issues that I had to withdraw support :-( Moreover odfdom 0.8 proved many times slower than version 0.7.5 (luckily the latter is included in the 3.2.4 MingW Windows binary).
I can't test the stuff under Linux presently (I can't get Java installed despite using the hints by Michael in earlier threads in this ML. I suspect Mandriva-specific gotchas). So I would really appreciate reports on spreadsheet I/O performance under Linux. Please? BTW It struck me that a tarball downloaded from the octave.sf.net svn repository is just half the size of the tarball made from within the MingW MSYS shell (68 KB vs. 140 KB). Can a site admin move the new io package into place, please?
