RubySpreadsheet / News: Recent posts

I released version 0.3.0 (and 0.3.1) today. This release includes the ability to now write to IO streams (instead of just files). It also fixes a major bug with regards to black cells, and adds the Worksheet#format_rectangle method.

Version 0.3.1 was strictly a "make gems play nice" release, so if you have 0.3.0 and don't care about gems, don't worry about 0.3.1.

The final version using the Excel 95 format, 0.2.9, has been released. It includes some minor bug fixes and enhancements.

Note that there will be no more file releases using the Excel 95 format, though I will make bug fixes in CVS (if there are any).

John McNamara has released Spreadsheet::WriteExcel 2.x, which uses the Excel 97 format. I have begun porting that to Ruby. The next release for this project will be based on that code.... read more

This release cleans up some $DEBUG warnings, and makes it 1.8.x (and Win32) friendly.

This one includes the format_row and format_column methods, which are analogous to the set_row and set_column methods in Spreadsheet::WriteExcel.

Seems I just flat out forgot to add these. Thanks go to Bob Berge for pointing out my omission. :)
