  • The backend data model and formula evaluation engine is completly _REWRITTEN_ to be based on Apache POI library(Java API To Access Microsoft Excel Format Files) such that we can support more features. The consequence are most classes and APIs that were in org.zkoss.zss.model of version 1.x are no longer existed.
