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

What is new in this release?

The long awaited version of Aspose.Cells for Java 16.12.0 has been released. 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. This release includes several enhanced features and bug fixes as listed below
