I'm pleased to announce that Evgeniy Berlog has successfully completed his GSoC project (I was his mentor).
This summer Evgeniy has been working on improving drawing support in the HSSF module (binary xls format). Prior to GSoC 2012 HSSF provided a limited support for Excel drawing layer: it could create new drawings from scratch but could not read or modify existing ones. As result, modifying a .xls file with graphic objects (images, shapes, comments, etc.) resulted in a corrupted file. The fix was in high demand - we had a bunch of open bug reports on this problem and this number was steadily growing. Evgeniy has done an excellent job sorting this all out. Now HSSF can read and modify drawings of any complexity and all bug reports related to this problem are resolved. Congratulations, Evgeniy! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
