The getXXX() methods of the PropertySet class return null if their return type is a reference (like a string) or 0 if the return type is numeric. Details about the return types and about how to distinguish between a property value of zero and a property value that is not present can be found in the API documentation.Gridlines can now be turned on and offNamePTG refactoring/fixesminor fixes to ExternSheet and formula stringsSheet comparisons now ignore caseA nasty concurrency problem has been fixed. Any users working in a multithreaded environment should seriously consider upgrading to this release.The EXTSST record has been implemented. This record is used by excel for optimized reading of strings.When rows are shifted, the merged regions now move with them. If a row contains 2 merged cells, the resulting shifted row should have those cells merged as well.There were some issues when removing merged
regions (specifically, removing all of them and then adding some more) and have been resolved.When a sheet contained shared formulas (when a formula is
dragged across greater than 6 cells), the clone would fail. We now support cloning of
sheets that contain this Excel optimization. Support added for reading formulas with UnaryPlus and UnaryMinus operators.Patch applied for deep cloning of worksheets was providedPatch applied to allow sheet reorderingAdded additional print area setting methods using row/column numbersHDF: Negative Array size fixAdded argument pointers to support the IF formulaFormulas: Added special character support for string literals, specifically for SUMIF formula support and addresses a bug as wellBlockingInputStream committed to help ensure readsFixed problem with NaN values differing from the investigated value from file reads in FormulaRecordsPatch for getColumnWidth in HSSFPatch for dealing with mult-level numbered lists in HDFDue to named reference work, several named-ranged bugs were closedPatch applied to prevent sheet corruption after a template modificationShared Formulas now SupportedAdded GreaterEqual, LessEqual and NotEqual to Formula ParserAdded GreaterThan and LessThan functionality to formulasPatches for i10nPOI Build System Updatedfont names can now be nullSupport for zoom levelFreeze and split pane supportRow and column headers on printoutsCustom Data Format SupportEnhanced Unicode Support for Russian and JapaneseEnhanced formula support including read-only for

Now define poi.logging system property to enable logging to standard out.Fixed SST string handling so that spreadsheets with rich text or extended text will be read correctly.New project build.New project documentation system based on Cocoon.Package renameVarious bug fixesEarly stages of HSF development (not ready for development)Initial low level record support for charting (not complete)Created new event modelOptimizations made to HSSF including aggregate records for
values, rows, etc.predictive sizing, offset based writing (instead of lots of
array copies)minor re-factoring and bug fixes.Minor documentation updates.Added DataFormat helper class and exposed set and get format
on HSSFCellStyleFixed column width apis (unit wise) and various javadoc on
the subjectFix for Dimensions record (again)... (one of these days I'll
write a unit test for this ;-p).Some optimization on sheet creation.Changes not recorded.Added MulBlank, Blank, ColInfoAdded log4j facility and removed all sys.out type loggingAdded support for adding font's, styles and corresponding
high level api for styling cellsadded support for changing row height, cell width and default
row height/cell width.Added fixes for internationalization (UTF-16 should work now
from HSSFCell.setStringValue, etc when the encoding is set)added support for adding/removing and naming sheets.Bugfix release. We were throwing an exception when reading
RKRecord objects.Got continuation records to work (read/write)Added various pre-support for formulasMassive API reorganization, repackaging.BiffViewer class added for validating HSSF & POI and/or
HSSF Output.Better API support for modification.Added encoding flag to high and low level api to use utf-16
when needed (HSSFCell.setEncoding())added read only support for Label records (which are
reinterpreted as LabelSST when written)Broken continuation record implementation (oops)BiffViewer class added for validating HSSF & POI and/or
HSSF Output.Support for read/write and modify.Read only support for MulRK records (converted to Number when
writing)
Finish HDF
Finish Charts
Finish Formulas.
Expose functionality in low level records in higher level API
Implement more record types.
Add more dummy checks (for when API user's do things they
"can't" do). This will involve exploring the various
upper limits on the things Excel can handle.
Add support for embedded graphics and other objects.
Create new adapter object for handling MulBlank, MulRk, Rk
records.
Add a way to copy sheets.
