All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
The format is based on Keep a Changelog and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning. Thia is always true of the master branch. Some earlier branches remain supported and security fixes are applied to them; if the security fix represents a breaking change, it may have to be applied as a minor or patch version.

Note that this will be the last 1.x branch release before the 2.x release. We will maintain both branches in parallel for a time; but users are requested to update to version 2.0 once that is fully available.
removeComment() method for Worksheet PR #2875Basic support for Xlsx reading/writing Chart Sheets PR #2830
Note that a ChartSheet is still only written as a normal Worksheet containing a single chart, not as an actual ChartSheet.

'C5', 'B2:D4', '2:2' or 'B:C') in appropriate contexts.Added support for reading “formatted” numeric values from Csv files; although default behaviour of reading these values as strings is preserved.
(i.e a value of “12,345.67” can be read as numeric 12345.67, not simply as a string "12,345.67", if the castFormattedNumberToNumeric() setting is enabled.
This functionality is locale-aware, using the server’s locale settings to identify the thousands and decimal separators.
Limited support for Xls Reader to handle Conditional Formatting:
Ranges and Rules are read, but style is currently limited to font size, weight and color; and to fill style and color.
Add ability to suppress Mac line ending check for CSV #2623
Initial support for creating and writing Tables (Xlsx Writer only) PR #2671
See /samples/Table for examples of use.
Note that PreCalculateFormulas needs to be disabled when saving spreadsheets containing tables with formulae (totals or column formulae).
Make Boolean Conversion in Csv Reader locale-aware when using the String Value Binder.
This is determined by the Calculation Engine locale setting.
(i.e. "Vrai" wil be converted to a boolean true if the Locale is set to fr.)
psr/simple-cache 2.xCalculation\Functions (including the Error functions) have been moved to dedicated classes for groups of related functions. See the docblocks against all the deprecated methods for details of the new methods to call instead. At some point, these old classes will be deleted.Worksheet methods that reference cells “byColumnandRow”. All such methods have an equivalent that references the cell by its address (e.g. ‘E3' rather than 5, 3).
These functions now accept either a cell address string ('E3') or an array with columnId and rowId ([5, 3]) or a new CellAddress object as their cellAddress/coordinate argument.
This includes the methods:
setCellValueByColumnAndRow() use the equivalent setCellValue()setCellValueExplicitByColumnAndRow() use the equivalent setCellValueExplicit()getCellByColumnAndRow() use the equivalent getCell()cellExistsByColumnAndRow() use the equivalent cellExists()getStyleByColumnAndRow() use the equivalent getStyle()setBreakByColumnAndRow() use the equivalent setBreak()mergeCellsByColumnAndRow() use the equivalent mergeCells()unmergeCellsByColumnAndRow() use the equivalent unmergeCells()protectCellsByColumnAndRow() use the equivalent protectCells()unprotectCellsByColumnAndRow() use the equivalent unprotectCells()setAutoFilterByColumnAndRow() use the equivalent setAutoFilter()freezePaneByColumnAndRow() use the equivalent freezePane()getCommentByColumnAndRow() use the equivalent getComment()setSelectedCellByColumnAndRow() use the equivalent setSelectedCells()This change provides more consistency in the methods (not every “by cell address” method has an equivalent “byColumnAndRow” method); and the “by cell address” methods often provide more flexibility, such as allowing a range of cells, or referencing them by passing the defined name of a named range as the argument.
A5:C10:C20:F1) in the Calculation Engine; and also support for using named ranges with the Range operator (e.g. NamedRange1:NamedRange2) Issue #2730 PR #2746INDIRECT() to accept row/column ranges as well as cell ranges PR #2687Resolved formula translations to handle separators (row and column) for array functions as well as for function argument separators; and cleanly handle nesting levels.
Note that this method is used when translating Excel functions between en_us and other locale languages, as well as when converting formulae between different spreadsheet formats (e.g. Ods to Excel).
Nor is this a perfect solution, as there may still be issues when function calls have array arguments that themselves contain function calls; but it’s still better than the current logic.
wb+ to wb Issue #2372 PR #2657Namespacing phase 2 - styles. PR #2471
Improved support for passing of array arguments to Excel function implementations to return array results (where appropriate). Issue #2551
This is the first stage in an ongoing process of adding array support to all appropriate function implementations,
Support for the Excel365 Math/Trig RANDARRAY() function PR #2540
Note that the Spill Operator is not yet supported in the Calculation Engine; but this can still be useful for defining array constants.
Provision of CF Wizards (for all the above listed rule types) to help create/modify CF Rules without having to manage all the combinations of types/operators, and the complexities of formula expressions, or the text/timePeriod attributes.
See documentation for details
Full support of the above CF Rules for the Xlsx Reader and Writer; even when the file being loaded has CF rules listed in the <extLst><ext><ConditionalFormattings> element for the worksheet rather than the <ConditionalFormatting> element.

The following MathTrig functions are affected:
ABS(), ACOS(), ACOSH(), ASIN(), ASINH(), ATAN(), ATANH(),
COS(), COSH(), DEGREES() (rad2deg), EXP(), LN() (log), LOG10(),
RADIANS() (deg2rad), SIN(), SINH(), SQRT(), TAN(), TANH().
One TextData function is also affected: REPT() (str_repeat).

AMORDEGRC().PPMT(), IPMT().Calling many of the Excel formula functions directly rather than through the Calculation Engine.
The logic for these Functions is now being moved out of the categorised Database, DateTime, Engineering, Financial, Logical, LookupRef, MathTrig, Statistical, TextData and Web classes into small, dedicated classes for individual functions or related groups of functions.
This makes the logic in these classes easier to maintain; and will reduce the memory footprint required to execute formulae when calling these functions.

At some point, these old classes will be deleted.LOGNORM.DIST(), NORM.S.DIST(), GAMMA() and GAUSS() functions. #1588B2 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.Settings::setHttpClient() #1562src/ #1424@return $this for fluent methods #1362#N/A #1165*?~ Excel functionality, when match_type=0 #1116getSheetByName() with tests for name with quote and spaces #739getCalculatedValue() error with more than two INDIRECT #1115libxml_disable_entity_loader setting when reading XML-based formats, so that it is enabled while the xml is being parsed and not simply while it is loaded.
On some versions of PHP, this can cause problems because it is not thread-safe, and can affect other PHP scripts running on the same server. This flag is set to true when instantiating a loader, and back to its original setting when the Reader is no longer in scope, or manually unset.Provide a check to identify whether libxml_disable_entity_loader is thread-safe or not.
