<h3>28 April 2002 - POI 1.5-dev-rc2 (release candidate)</h3>
+
<p>The second real "release candidate" for <a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/poi">POI</a> is out. 1.5 is SOOOO close we can TASTE that POI right on our tounges. This release candidate fixes a few annoying and relatively minor (but serious enough) bugs. And in preparation for a production-level release the experimental formula support is disabled. So get it while its HOT and help test it so we can feed the world fresh and delicious POI! (unless of course they like it fermented -- we aim to please)
</p>
+
<p>In other news, formula support has started in the 2.0 branch and is well under way. So if you like putting =1+2 in your spreadsheets then you'll be all set. Hopefully cell references will appear soon for those of you with slightly more sophisticated tastes. So what's the best way to speed things along? Why its simple, join the mail lists and contribute, submit bug reports, send in patches, if you see a nail sticking up pick up a hammer. We're always looking for voluteers. A special thanks goes out to Avik Sengupta who is the primary author of the current formula support and to Libin Roman who submitted Named Ranges support. You guys rock!

dispatcher, which could allow in some rare cases a remote attacker to read
files anywhere on the server filesystem. It also provides a way
for malicious servlets or JSP to bypass the Security Manager sandbox.

The fix for this security vulnerability is also available as a hotfix
which can be applied to an existing Tomcat 4.0.x installation. Installing
the hotfix on top of 4.0.2 is equivalent to upgrading to Tomcat 4.0.3.
