Hi Yegor,
We are gaining a lot of grounds in efforts of transitioning to the latest
poi-3.5 in order to support .xlsx formats. One of the core requirements
from our application/client is to password protect the final output
workbook.
I know you've mentioned that the final version will be released sometime
soon (Oct). Do you for-see this functionality being included to that
version?
Thanks.
