Load any HTML with Self-Closing Tags & Convert It to Excel File inside Android Apps

What’s new in this release?

Aspose development team is pleased to announce the new release of Aspose.Cells for Android via Java 18.12. Depiction of data through HTML page is very common, however this page can be opened in variety of devices including mobiles, tabs and other hand held devices which contain small screens. The size of the columns is defined in “pt” which works in many cases. However there can be case where this fixed size may not be required. For example if container panel width is 600px where this HTML page is being displayed. In this case users may get horizontal scrollbar if the generated table width is bigger. This requirement is addressed by providing scalable units like em or percent for a better presentation. Empty tags are very common while working with HTML like we can face <td></td> or simply <td/>. Earlier self-closing tags were not supported however now this support is provided. Now users can load any HTML with self-closing tags and convert it to Excel file. Named regions can have English formulae and this file can be used in environments where systems are configured to German Locale. There is need to translate these English formulae completely to German language for correct usage in Excel configured for German language. This feature is fully functional and can be used without any extra coding. Excel provides custom filters like filter rows which begins with and ends with some specific string.  Aspose.Cells provides rich features to manage shapes in the spreadsheet. Sometimes there is needed to get the connection points of a shape for aligning or placing the shapes at appropriate place. For this purpose all the connection points are required. Pivot tables are very common reports which are present in the workbooks. These reports are updated time by time and it is important to know the last time when report was updated for better decision making. Aspose.Cells has provided this feature by introducing property RefreshDate. Similarly name of the person who updated the pivot table is also provided as property RefreshedByWho.  Smart art is used for better representation of information however earlier the text in the smart art shapes was fixed. This limitation is gone now as now smart art text can be updated. For this purpose shape.setText() function is introduced which sets new text in the smart art shape. Data validation is done in variety of ways to control the input in the Excel file. Like limit can be defined for a cell within which some number can be entered, otherwise error message is raised. Issues were faced for validation of large numbers like 12345678901 etc. in the past but now this much large numbers are supported by Aspose.Cells. Aspose.Cells has introduced rendering active worksheet in a workbook to SVG. For this purpose load an Excel file into workbook object and set the active sheet index like for Sheet2, set index to 1. Then save the Workbook as SVG which will render active worksheet to SVG. Workbook can have multiple sheets which are rendered as multiple tab pages when converted to HTML using Excel. Similarly if a workbook contains single sheet, it shows one tab page when converted to HTML using Excel. This conversion was working fine for multiple sheets while using Aspose.Cells. However for single sheet workbook, there was no tab page and only HTML file was created without creating the separate folder containing CSS. Now Aspose.Cells has enhanced its library to create similar output for single sheet workbooks as compared to output created by Excel. In complex Excel files (XLSM/XSLB) there can be large amount of macros which can be very very long. Many times there is a need to load the workbooks without loading these VBA projects like just extracting the sheet names from loaded workbook. In this case we need a filter which can load VBA projects in when they are actually required. This time Aspose.Cells has introduced a filter option LoadDataFilterOptions.VBA which can be used for this purpose. Textbox is very common control which can be used in a worksheet. This is not necessary that text in the textbox is fixed. It may have tags which can be replaced with some text at runtime. It helps users to configure the controls as per the data on the sheet or from some other source. Worksheet.replace can be used for this purpose and textbox can be set with the desired text. It can convert worksheet to HTML but rendering entire sheet at once may not be required always. Users may require just a selected area of the sheet to be rendered to HTML. Worksheets contain page setup where print area can be set. A worksheet can have different types of validations including dropdown. There can be a need where user may want to detect the type of validation and take some decision based on this information. This release includes plenty of improved features and bug fixes as listed below

• Change returned value for getting Connection points
• Provide ability to export range as HTML
• Data bars are missing when XLSX is converted to HTML
• Value still exists when XLSX is converted to HTML
• Convert left right ribbon shape to image

Unix Standard TAR & GZIP Archives are Supported inside .NET Apps

What’s new in this release?

Aspose is pleased to announce the new release of Aspose.ZIP for .NET 19.1. This release introduces support for working with TAR and GZIP. Aspose.ZIP for .NET now supports USTAR archives as most modern TAR programs read and write archives in the UStar (Unix Standard TAR) format, introduced by the POSIX IEEE P1003.1 standard from 1988. It has introduced additional header fields and older TAR programs ignore the extra information (possibly extracting partially named files), while newer programs will test for the presence of the “ustar” string to determine if the new format is in use. The UStar format allows for longer file names and stores additional information about each file. The maximum filename size is 256, but it is split among a preceding path “filename prefix” and the filename itself, so can be much less. GZIP is a popular file format used by software application for file compression and decompression which is now fully supported by Aspose.ZIP for .NET with this latest release.

RTL Comments Rendering & Scaling WMF Fonts According to Metafile Size on the Page using Java

What's New in this Release?
 
Aspose development team is happy to announce the monthly release of Aspose.Words for Java 18.12. In old versions of Aspose.Words, handling of ‘hide mark element’ in a table cell for rendering document to fixed page format is according to MS Word 2013 behavior. Starting from Aspose.Words 18.12, it has changed this behavior and mimic MS Word 2016 behavior. In some situations, for “continuous” and “new column” section breaks, the behavior of MS Word 2016 is different from MS Word 2013 or an earlier version when document is converted to fixed file formats e.g. PDF, XPS. We have changed the behavior of Aspose.Words and now it mimics MS Word 2016. The behavior has changed for computing page numbers and for providing an empty facing page when adjacent pages have the same oddity.  This release has added new property in MetafileRenderingOptions class to control the scaling of fonts in WMF meta-file according to meta-file size on the page when rendering document to fixed file format. This property is used only when meta-file is rendered as vector graphics. By default, Aspose.Words uses font family names from source document and writes to HTML. Starting from Aspose.Words 18.12, you can resolve and substitute fonts according to FontSettings. Aspose team has added new property to achieve this.  Obsolete Property AllowTrailingWhitespaceForListItems was removed from LoadOptions Class. It has removed obsolete public API method ‘SetAsDefault’ from LoadOptions.LanguagePreferences in this version of Aspose.Words.  There are 108 improvements and fixes in this regular monthly release, such as Java 11 compatibility is checked and updated, ExternalImageLibTest utility class added to check external image libraries on user side, Implemented WMF fonts scaling, according to metafile size on the page, and public option to control it, Improved the default font fallback mechanism to better fit the MW behavior, Optimized metafile from SVG rendering to skip redundant line segments, Fixed a bug that caused an exception when rendering metafiles filled with gradient, Fixed a bug with the order of legend items of the stacked DrawingML chart when rendering, Fixed a bug with text clipping when rendering the DrawingML charts, Fixed a bug with rendering of minor tick marks and clipping the rightmost bar of DrawingML charts, Fixed a bug with rendering data labels for points, located on the border of the DrawingML chart plot area, Implemented support for RTL comments rendering, e.g. Arabic, Improved hyphenation logic for multiple cases,  Improved page numbering for sections starting in new columns, Improved table row alignment, Improved tab stop calculations with paragraph indents, Improved table breaking logic for numerous complex cases, Improved handling of character compression within mixed ltr/rtl text, Fixed exception in rare case when field update causes line to contain only zero length spans, Fixed exception in rare case when floating object is pushed beyond empty column, Fixed layout when tables merge over the hidden paragraph and more.  The list of most notable new and improved features added in this release are given below
