Render Excel Files to PDF & Dom4j Library Dependency Removal

Nov 25 2013 12:41 AM

What's new in this release?

The long awaited version of Aspose.Cells for Java 7.6.1 has been released. In this release, the dependency of dom4j library has been removed. So, now dom4j-1.6.1.jar can be excluded from its ClassPath when using Aspose.Cells component as we have written our own XML parser for certain operations. We have done a number of enhancements in the new release. For example, we fixed an issue regarding set license, i.e., "Cannot find black listed licenses resource" exception as sometimes our users find this issue in their diverse environments. You may also use the product in OSGi environment without any problem now. We have resolved some exceptions when reading/writing Excel files and rendering Excel spreadsheets to image files and PDF format. This release is also a kind of maintenance release that contains certain enhancements and fixes for the issues reported in the earlier versions. In this release, we have fixed the issues for manipulating charts  and shapes. Since the code base of Aspose.Cells for Java now matches the code of relevant .NET version, most of the enhancements and fixes included in the Aspose.Cells for .NET v7.6.1 are also included in this release. This release includes plenty of improved features and bug fixes as listed below

·         Workbook.getWorksheets().setOleSize is not working as expected

·         License issue (CellsException: Cannot find black listed licenses resource)

·         Missing Permissions manifest attribute message after JRE 1.7 u45 upgrade
