What’s new in this release?

Aspose is proud to expand its APIs family with the addition of a new product known as Aspose.Cells for C++ 16.12.0. This release has included many new features and enhancements that further improve the overall feature set of the API. This second release supports creation as well as the manipulation of the Pivot Tables. It also provides the IPivotTable class which represents a Pivot Table object whereas IPivotTableCollection represents a collection of Pivot Tables. The IPivotTableCollection can be accessed via the IWorksheet object and a new Pivot Table can be added to the collection. Besides creating new Pivot Tables, the APIs also support to manipulate existing Pivot Tables. The API currently supports to change the data at the source range of the Pivot Table and then refresh it.

New Configuration Options for Setting Spacing Between Lines of Text in JasperReports

What’s new in this release?

The long awaited version of Aspose.Words for JasperReports 16.12.0 has been released. It provides fixes for the important issues reported by Aspose customers, such as, multiple appearances of elements in exported Docx, extra section break is appeared in output Docx and many more. By default, value of USE_LINE_SPACINGS parameter is “smart” (set to 2). This means that Aspose Words for JasperReports will try to analyze current context and set spacing between lines of texts only where this is required. However, users can forcibly enable this option (set to 1) and in this case, line spacing will be set for each text. Alternatively, users can forcibly disable this option (set to 0) and in this case, no explicit line spacing will be set. The list of improved features in this release are listed below

• Multiple appearance of elements in exported Docx
• Extra section break is appeared in output Docx
• Image does not render correctly in output Docx
• License.SetLicense throws java.lang.IllegalStateException: The signature is invalid.

Starting from release 1.9.0 there are now several versions of the JAR library (this is necessary for better support of older versions of JasperReports):

• for JasperReports 6.3.0 and higher (aspose.words.jasperreports-6.3.0.jar)

Object Filtering for Loading Templates & XML Map Data Export to Disc are Enhanced in Java Apps

What’s new in this release?

Aspose team is pleased to announce the new release of Aspose.Cells for Java 16.12.0. This release includes many new features and enhancements along with some critical bug fixes that further improve the overall stability of the API. Sometimes, application requirement could be to load just a particular type of objects while loading existing spreadsheets in Aspose.Cells’ object model. For instance, users may require loading only the cells along with formulas & formatting or just the document properties. Aspose.Cells APIs now provide a flexible yet comprehensive mechanism to achieve such requirements by exposing the LoadFilter class. The LoadFilter class along with LoadOptions.LoadFilter property can control the type of data/objects to be loaded while initializing an instance of Workbook from a template file. The constructor of the LoadFilter class can accept constant(s) from the LoadDataFilterOptions enumeration that specifies the type of objects to be loaded. The LoadFilter class also allows customizing the loading process as per the properties of the Worksheet. In order to customize the loading process, one has to override the LoadFilter.startSheet method. Please note, there are just a few properties that can be used for a given worksheet object in this scenario because most of the data and properties have not been loaded yet. This release has enhanced its core for more stability as well as fixed a few critical bugs. Moreover, there are numerous minor enhancements in order to improve the overall usage of the API. A few of the worth mentioning enhancements are, ability to export XML map data to disc, Support for ScaleCrop and LinksUpToDate built-in document properties, Enhanced PDF rendering engine for font substitution while converting charts to PDF format and handled a few exceptions such as ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException & CellsException.

Modify Properties of ActiveX Control & Insert Text Shape in Visio Drawing inside Java Apps

What’s new in this release?

Aspose team is pleased to announce the new release of Aspose.Diagram for Java 16.11.0. This new version of the API has come with improved performance along with new features. It allows developers to insert a text shape anywhere in the Visio drawing.

Developers can add this feature in their project applications using Aspose.Diagram API. From now onward, they may not add any alternative shapes from the stencil files. The last two API versions (6.8.0 and 16.10.0) have support of adding an ActiveX control in the Visio drawing. Developers were not able to retrieve an ActiveX control from an existing Visio drawing to modify it. Using this new API version, they can retrieve a Visio shape as usual like in the earlier versions, additionally can retrieve an ActiveX control from a Visio shape object, and then modify its properties. This release includes several enhanced features and bug fixes as listed below
