Here is a somewhat radical idea, and maybe too hard to implement, but maybe we should package this a bit differently like poi-core, poi-ss, poi-wp, poi-misc. And then apply semantic versioning to each package separately so poi-core and poi-ss would be at 4.0.0 and poi-wp and poi-misc might still be at 0.4.0 as they are still experimental. I know that the binary formats are ahead of the xml formats in the wp world, so maybe this would still need to be thought out. I wouldn't want too many packages.

So, speaking of 4.0...should we move to semantic versioning: 4.0.0? -----Original Message----- From: Dominik Stadler [mailto:dominik.stad...@gmx.at] Sent: Thursday, September 14, 2017 1:39 PM To: POI Developers List <dev@poi.apache.org> Subject: Apache POI 4.0/Java 8 Hi, FYI, as 3.17 is out and we agreed to work on 4.0/Java 8 now, I have done a bunch of changes locally which switch to Java 8 and 4.0 and also use some newer third party libs. I would like to do some more local testing on it and then commit it tomorrow. Just FYI so we don't duplicate efforts here. Dominik.
