so Groovy will need a 1.8 JRE to run them.

After some more testing: It works with JDK1.8 or JRE1.8, 32-bit or

However, it fails with the following output using jdk1.7.0_79.


Looks like I overlooked that.

If that gives people any issues I can add

|sourceCompatibility=  1.6
targetCompatibility=  1.6

to the gradle.build file to fix it and create a new RC.


I think it's your call. I have no need to use anything before 1.8 - I 
was just testing for completeness. 1.8 is the current version.


On the other hand, it takes less than an hour to do the complete test 
sequence, so no big deal if you decide to make a new release candidate.

I think it is important enough to create a new RC.

I know Java 7 is EOL but I'm aware there are reasons for some 
environments to stay on 7.


Plus this will give me a chance to finalize my RC instructions :)

I'm guessing you made a typo for Excel 2013,

If it really is Excel 2003, and it really is an .xlsx file, then no the
issue will not fixed, because it can not be fixed. (IIRC, this is the
.xlsx version whose file format can't be shared with other computers,
with a subsequent patch from Microsoft removing that functionality.)

> Will there be an update to facilitate these files?

That depends upon why it won't open. Potential reasons are:
* The file is password protected;
* The file is encrypted;
* The file requires VBA libraries that AOo does not have access to;
* There is something in the file format that AOo doesn't understand, but
is otherwise valid;
* The file itself is corrupt. Try opening it with Excel, and see what
happens;
* Something else;

My guess is that the issue is VBA Libraries are not accessible. I might
be using the wrong name. These are the libraries used for the macro
language that Excel can understand.

Excel 2003 can only save as *.xls. Only versions >= 2007 can save files
as *.xlsx and normaly AOO can open as *.xls as *.xlsx.

Excell 2003+

2016-04-22 Thread John Godfrey

Hi all.
I am a user, but not a developer.
I was recently sent an excell.xlsx file AOO could not open. the sender 
told me it was generated by Excel 2003. Will there be an update to 
facilitate these files?

Thanks,
john
