- solve a problem with ms ods-files
- corrects a failure in calculation of column and row size
A new addition is the xlsx-AddOn for reading MS Excel files. This is a first, early version of the extension, the integration in ignition must still be done manually. Here tested with a calendar file (left ignition, right Excel):
Achim Pankalla thanks all testers, bug reporters, translators and supporters. He welcomes any feedback via email, and also refers to the official ignition support forum (German) at os4welt.de for further information and discussion.
