+
+See the full release notes below for details about this release.
+
+Release Notes -- Apache POI -- Version 3.8
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+Apache POI is well-known in the Java field as a library for reading and
+writing Microsoft Office file formats, such as Excel, PowerPoint, Visio and
+Word. See http://poi.apache.org/ for more details
+
+Apache POI 3.8 is an incremental feature release based on and
+compatible with earlier POI 3.8-beta* releases. POI 3.8 is considered stable and recommended for production use.
+
+Release highlights:
+
+* NPOIFS: NIO driven API to read OLE2 filesystems with low memory footprint.
+* SXSSF: a low-memory footprint API built on top of XSSF that can be used when very large spreadsheets have to be produced, and heap space is limited
+* poi-excelant: Ant tasks for running POI against a workbook
+* Supported evaluation of new Excel formulas: IRR,NPV,MROUND,VAR,VARP,CLEAN,CHAR,ADDRESS,HOUR,MINUTE,SECOND,RATE,WORKDAY,NETWORKDAYS,SUMIFS,RANK
+* XSLF usermodel API: POI's implementation of the PowerPoint 2007 OOXML (.xlsx) file format. XSLF provides a rich usermodel API and a PPTX2PNG utility to export slides to images.
+* WordToFO, WordToHtml and WordToText converters: utilities to export MS Word .doc files into XSL-FO, html and text files. Output from WordToFO can be used to convert .doc files to pdf using Apache FOP.
+
+Other notable changes:
+* Numerous improvements and refactorings in HWPF, Java API for MS Word .doc files: support for reading
+ footnotes, endnotes and bookmarks, improved support for hadlings tables, paragraphs, text runs and much more...
+* Initial support for charts in XSSF
+* support for OOXML Agile Encryption
+
+A full list of changes is available in the change log: http://poi.apache.org/changes.html.
+People interested should also follow the dev mailing list to track further progress.
+
