What is new in this release?
The long awaited version of
Aspose.Cells for Java 8.5.0 has been released. This release contains many useful features and improvements along with some critical bug fixes. It has exposed the CalculationOptions class. CalculationPrecisionStrategy enumeration and a set of new CalculateFormula methods in order to add more flexibility & extensibility to the formula calculation engine. These new APIs were added to facilitate the user who wish to strategies the calculation precision handling on their own according to the application requirements. Please note, due to the precision issue of IEEE 754 Floating-Point Arithmetic, some seemingly simple formulas may not give expected results therefore the latest API build has exposed the following CalculationPrecisionStrategy fields to get desired results according to the selection. Aspose.Cells APIs have exposed the PasteType.ROW_HEIGHTS enumeration field for the purpose of copying the row heights while copying the ranges. Upon setting the PasteOptions.PasteType property to PasteType.ROW_HEIGHTS the heights of all the rows inside the source range will be copied to the destination range. Microsoft Excel calculates the page setup scaling factor while using the “Fit to n page(s) wide by m tall” option. This release has exposed the SheetRender.PageScale property to mimic the aforesaid feature of Excel application. This property returns a double value which can be converted to percentage for scaling notation. With this revision, the API has exposed the Cell.getStringValue method along with an enumeration CellValueFormatStrategy that can be used to extract the cell value with or without formatting applied. The newly exposed Cell.getStringValue() method can be used to get the
string value of the cell with or without any formatting. Suppose, you have a cell with value 0.012345 and you have formatted it to display two decimal places only. It will then display as 0.01 in Excel. You can retrieve string values both as 0.01 and as 0.012345 using the Cell.getStringValue() method. The most notable enhancements in this release includes, improved the HTML rendering and handled a few JavaScript errors, improved the PDF rendering for Hebrew characters, wrapped text, page break handling & Right to Left rendering and Tweaked calculate engine for handling custom functions.
