Preserve Meta-Characters during Replacement & Enhanced LINQ Reporting Engine in Java

What is new in this release?

Aspose development team is happy to announce the monthly release of Aspose.Words for Java 18.1.0 . There are 63 improvements and fixes in this regular monthly release. The most notable includes improved character spacing control logic, improved space shrinking for Verdana font, improved “allow handing punctuation” handling when kerning is enabled, Fixed clip issue with semi-broken tables, Fixed draw order of wrapped shapes in 2013 mode, Fixed repeated header height problem during field update, Fixed the bug causing error in page numbers in multi-page documents rendered into PostScript, Proper calculation of undocumented margins in DrawingML Charts implemented, Horizontal axis of Bubble Chart scaling fixed, Vertical axis of 3DArea Chart scaling fixed, MS Word 2016 approach for rendering of DrawingML Charts axis labels implemented; (Labels are rotated to fit the chart), Fixed rendering of Legend markers for 3D-LineChart, Improved rendering of composite (with multiple series) charts and Chart title with ManualLayout rendering fixed. This release has enhanced the support of data band inside a single-column table row for LINQ Reporting Engine. In previous versions of Aspose.Words, when opening and closing foreach tags are inside same cell, the output contents would be in the same cell. Starting from Aspose.Words 18.1, users can export the single-column data band in separate new row using greedy switch. This has enhanced the support of conditional blocks in table’s row for LINQ Reporting Engine. If users put an opening if, elseif, or else tag and a closing if tag in the same cell, the engine treats a template option formed by these tags as a common one rather than a table-row one by default. However, users can override this behavior making the engine to treat such a template option as a table-row one by specifying a greedy switch. It has added FindReplaceOptions.PreserveMetaCharacters property in Aspose.Words 18.1 to preserve meta-characters beginning with “&” during replacement. In this release, Aspose team has removed following obsolete public method from CompositeNode class. The parameter “isLive” is not used anymore. Please use CompositeNode.GetChildNodes(NodeType nodeType, bool isDeep) instead. It has added new feature in the release of Aspose.Words to show or hide the chart axis. You can use ChartAxis.Hidden property to achieve this. XmlMapping.StoreItemId property has been added in this release to specify the custom XML data identifier for the custom XML data part. Please read DataBinding class for more detail about storeItemID property. The list of new and improved features added in this release are given below
