A new major upgrade to xlsgen is about to ship.

In xlsgen 4.0, support for a number of additional objects was added. Because those objects came often with a few tweek capabilities, this caused a lot of new API to be made public, which you can review in our page over at what's new in 4.0?

In 4.5 a number of objects are added. It happens that many of those objects require a lot less API and it has therefore become the general theme in 4.5. For instance, whenever a new input file format is supported, no new API is exposed and there is nothing new to learn. Ditto for an output format. Ditto for general advances in core xlsgen engines such as the rendering, or whenever we are adding new engines which happen to rely on standard third-parties.

There is hope that xlsgen becomes seen for what it is, that is more than a general purpose Excel file generator. It has been such a thing for a number of years, but it so happens that every new customer has a different need and it is perhaps not always obvious what products can do to meet your needs and how far they can push you.
