Hi All,

I have aborted the vote to address two issues that cropped up during evaluation.

Issue 1: The behavior of HSSFWorkbook.getPictures() changed and the returned list can contain null. This can break existing products depending on POI, in particular, content extraction systems.

Issue 2: Some files moved from poi-contrib have wrong packaging. It is not an issue for the Java compiler and Ant, but Eclipse is not happy. This can confuse potential new committers - they'll load POI-3.7 in Eclipse, fail and give up.

Both issues are fixed in trunk, I'm going to merge these changes with the release branch and restart the vote shortly.

 Hi All,

I have built a release candidate for POI-3.7, please test-drive and vote.

The release artifacts can be downloaded from http://people.apache.org/~yegor/POI-3.7/ A staging Maven repository containing the artifacts to be released is http://people.apache.org/~yegor/POI-3.7/m2-staging-repository/

The revision number of the release is r1022458 and tagged as REL_3_7 on Oct 14 2010.

See the full release notes for more details: http://people.apache.org/~yegor/POI-3.7/RELEASE_NOTES.txt

Please note that POI-3.7 does not include poi-contrib, this module is gone and its contents was repackaged into poi-main and poi-examples.

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 the release
[ ] 0  - I don't care
[ ]-1  - I'm opposed to the release because...

I'm voting [+1]. Voting will last 10 days and end on Monday, October 25.

Yegor
