The most notable changes in this release are:

* upgrade dependencies: XmlBeans 5.0.3, XMLSec 2.3.0, BouncyCastle 1.70, 
Log4j-API 2.17.1, PDFBox Graphics2d 0.34, PDFBox 2.0.25 ...

* Issue in XSSFReader where string builder is not always cleared between cell 
reads [#65676]

* Extra DataFormatter options [#63211], [#65703], [#65730]

* Password Protecting a document when Saxon is on classpath can corrupt the 
output [#65701]

* stop using file deleteOnExit in DefaultTempFileCreationStrategy [#65772]

* Refactor to XSSFReader, SharedStringsTable, CommentsTable and ThemesTable to 
make them more extensible

I haven't updated the "provided" dependencies as those have to be activated 
anyway explicitly.


Please vote to release the artifacts.


The vote keeps open until 2022-01-14 23:00 UTC.


Planned release announcement date is Saturday, 2022-01-15.



Here is my +1

PJ
