Hi,

I plan to send the following quarterly report for POI, please let me
know if there is anything missing/wrong.

Thanks... Dominik.


Report from the Apache POI committee [Dominik Stadler]

## Description:
   Java API To Access Microsoft Document File Formats

## Activity:

Apache POI continues to be an active project, both in terms of community and
development.

Work is ongoing for the next release 3.13 with work items being switching
internal implementations for the POIFS implementation and providing a common
layer in the framework for working with different format of Powerpoint files. A
first beta was released, the next beta is planned to be done shortly.

After a reported security vulnerability related to Zip-Expansion
denial of service
have been reported and fixed in the latest beta there were two additional cases
reported which we are currently analyzing.

reports which we try to tackle to get the list of actual bugs more manageable,
