09 July 2007 - Apache POI 3.0.1 released

The Apache POI Team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of Apache POI 3.0.1 (formerly known as Apache Jakarta POI). This is our first release since our TLP (Top Level Project) graduation from Apache Jakarta, and we would like to thank all those who helped it happen.

Apache POI is well-known in the Java field as a library for reading and writing OLE2 office file formats, such as Excel, PowerPoint, Visio and Word.

Besides a number of bug fixes, this release offers a range of new features including:

  • Improvements to date cell detection, via isADateFormat
  • "missing record aware" HSSF event model
  • Lots of HSLF (PowerPoint) updates
  • HDGF - basic, read only support for Visio Files

A full changelog is available at: http://poi.apache.org/changes.html

Apache POI 3.0.1 is downloadable from the apache website and mirrored sites: http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/poi/release/
