Release Date: 2020-10-11 // over 3 years ago
  • โž• Added

    • ๐Ÿ‘ Implemented Page Order for Xlsx and Xls Readers, and provided Page Settings (Orientation, Scale, Horizontal/Vertical Centering, Page Order, Margins) support for Ods, Gnumeric and Xls Readers #1559
    • Implementation of the Excel LOGNORM.DIST(), NORM.S.DIST(), GAMMA() and GAUSS() functions. #1588
    • Named formula implementation, and improved handling of Defined Names generally #1535
      • Defined Names are now case-insensitive
      • Distinction between named ranges and named formulae
      • Correct handling of union and intersection operators in named ranges
      • Correct evaluation of named range operators in calculations
      • fix resolution of relative named range values in the calculation engine; previously all named range values had been treated as absolute.
      • Calculation support for named formulae
      • Support for nested ranges and formulae (named ranges and formulae that reference other named ranges/formulae) in calculations
      • Introduction of a helper to convert address formats between R1C1 and A1 (and the reverse)
      • Proper support for both named ranges and named formulae in all appropriate Readers
      • Xlsx (Previously only simple named ranges were supported)
      • Xls (Previously only simple named ranges were supported)
      • Gnumeric (Previously neither named ranges nor formulae were supported)
      • Ods (Previously neither named ranges nor formulae were supported)
      • Xml (Previously neither named ranges nor formulae were supported)
      • Proper support for named ranges and named formulae in all appropriate Writers
      • Xlsx (Previously only simple named ranges were supported)
      • Xls (Previously neither named ranges nor formulae were supported) - Still not supported, but some parser issues resolved that previously failed to differentiate between a defined name and a function name
      • Ods (Previously neither named ranges nor formulae were supported)
    • ๐Ÿ‘Œ Support for PHP 8.0

    ๐Ÿ”„ Changed

    • ๐Ÿ‘Œ Improve Coverage for ODS Reader #1545
    • Named formula implementation, and improved handling of Defined Names generally #1535
    • ๐Ÿ›  fix resolution of relative named range values in the calculation engine; previously all named range values had been treated as absolute.
    • โฌ‡๏ธ Drop $this->spreadSheet null check from Xlsx Writer #1646
    • Improving Coverage for Excel2003 XML Reader #1557

    ๐Ÿ—„ Deprecated

    • IMPORTANT NOTE: This Introduces a BC break in the handling of named ranges. Previously, a named range cell reference of B2 would be treated identically to a named range cell reference of $B2 or B$2 or $B$2 because the calculation engine treated then all as absolute references. These changes "fix" that, so the calculation engine now handles relative references in named ranges correctly.
      This change that resolves previously incorrect behaviour in the calculation may affect users who have dynamically defined named ranges using relative references when they should have used absolute references.
