POI version 3.8

[Shannon Wenzel <sh...@yahoo.com>]

To whom it may concern,

I have two user questions about the POI support.
1) Is there a more clear approximate time frame for when the POI 3.8 will be officially released (vs. sometime later this year)?
2) Is there plans to provide streaming support for BIFF8 in a future release?  Perhaps 3.9 in 2012?

Thanks in advance,

Shannon

When it's ready... If you're keen to see it released sooner, please help 
out with testing and fixing any remaining bugs you're able to! :)

What do you mean by "streaming support for BIFF8"? HSSF already supports 
the event model for low memory reading. As has been explained fairly 
often, you can't really do a streaming generation of a .xls file because 
there are backward references within the file

there is a chance we will release 3.8 in mid-end August. At least, I plan to.
