[VOTE] Release of POI 3.5-beta4
Hi All,
As you may noticed, there has been much development activity in POI over the last two months.
There have been quite a few bug fixes and improvements, especially in the OOXML part of POI.
So, I think it's time for a next beta (hopefully the last one before 3.5-FINAL).
The release artifacts can be downloaded from the following URL:
http://people.apache.org/~yegor/REL_3_5_BETA4
The revision number of the release is r719547 and tagged as REL_3_5_BETA4.
Below is a short summary of key changes:
(1) XSSF module has been significantly reworked and reached the state close to its HSSF counterpart.
To help you evaluate the current state of XSSF I created a set of rich examples. The examples are based on common
XSSF-HSSF interfaces so that you can generate either *.xls or *.xlsx output just by setting a command-line argument:
http://poi.apache.org/spreadsheet/examples.html
Sample output can be download from http://people.apache.org/~yegor/ss_examples/
(2) JDK 1.5 is now a minimum requirement.
(3) Finally, 3.5-beta4 fully supports Maven. All POI dependencies including ooxml-schemas and OpenXML4J are now on the
central Maven repository.
(4) This time there are no special artifacts for Maven. The Maven artifacts are deployed by a auto-generated script
created by the "ant dist" command. See http://people.apache.org/~yegor/REL_3_5_BETA4/mvn-deploy.sh.
(5) As usual, the release includes numerous bug fixes and improvements. The list of changes is available in the change
log:
http://poi.apache.org/changes.html
The vote options are:
[ ]+1 - I support the release
[ ] 0 - I don't care
[ ]-1 - I'm opposed to the release because...
I'm voting [+1]. Voting will last a week and end on Friday, 28th November.

I think it should be after the first. Holiday releases never work out
well nor are they very well publicized.

I think that some want it to be in just a few weeks. I think that we
should all agree on a schedule this week. This will give us all time
to plan.

Andy,
I agree it is a short week, what date would you prefer? December 1, a
week from today?
Will you be "ready" for POI 3.5 FINAL when the time comes?

I didn't know that this week is a short one in the US.
As Dave suggested, I can extend the vote till December 1. Will it be OK to you?

I'd also mention the initial XWPF support.
We are finally able to create a .docx file. See example
src/examples/src/org/apache/poi/xwpf/usermodel/SimpleDocument.java
+1 for the release

It looks like people in the US may not have time to evaluate the release because this week is short.
With this in mind, I've decided to extend the vote deadline to Monday, December 1.
