Hi All
It's been about 6 months now since 3.6 FINAL, and a month since the last
3.7 beta. The changelog [1] shows we've fixed a fairly hefty number of
bugs, even if there haven't been that many new features. So, we've decided
to do a new beta release, of POI 3.7 Beta 2.
Since POI 3.7 beta 1, we've had a fair number of bug fixes. New features
include:
* Word 6 / Word 95 text extractor support
* .thmx PowerPoint theme text extraction
* HSSF Chart series add/modify/remove
* Various formula improvements
Plus lots of other things that you can find in the changelog! [1]
The beta release is available from the mirrors:
http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/poi/dev/bin/
http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/poi/dev/src/
The beta is also available in the central Maven repository under Group ID
"org.apache.poi" and Version "3.7beta2".
Please do please test this new release with your code, and report back any
problems. We'll hopefully be releasing 3.7 Final in a month or so, with
possibly another beta release first depending on bug reports, so do please
test and report!
