Summary

  • Upgrade to ECMA-376 5th edition (transitional) schemas - expect API breaks when using XmlBeans directly some smaller changes are necessary when code is using the low-level CT... classes

  • XWPF - improvements in table and paragraph
  • XSLF - improvements for paragraph
  • provide JigSaw modules - some classes moved between packages for the JDK 9+ support, e.g. ExtractorFactory, so imports need to be adjusted
  • removed dependencies to jaxb
  • removed deprecated code
  • new experimental DeferredSXSSFWorkbook which creates fewer temp files by lazily generating rows (see DeferredGeneration in poi-examples)
