What’s new in this release?
The long awaited version of Aspose.Cells for Java 8.2.1 has been released. Microsoft Excel 2013 allows users to wrap or un-wrap data label text in a excel chart. The default is the wrapped state. Aspose.Cells provides the setTextWrapped method for the DataLabels class, which can be set to true or false in order to enable or disable the data label text wrapping feature. Moreover, you can use the isTextWrapped method to find out if a data label’s text is already wrapped. Before the release of Aspose.Cells for Java 8.2.1, finding the absolute position of a shape in the worksheet required a lot of mathematical calculation. Even after writing dozens lines of source code developers had to use the “hit & try” mechanism to find out the exact position of a shape. With this release, developers can simply call the Shape.getLeftToCorner and Shape.getTopToCorner methods to get the absolute position in the unit of pixels for a shape. Aspose.Cells for .NET is an easy to use spreadsheet creation, manipulation and conversion API that provides all the features that Microsoft Excel provides. Cell validation is one of the features that spreadsheet designers widely use to stop users from inserting invalid values into a cell. With this release, the API has exposed a simple means to identify if data validation has been applied on a particular cell. Developers can use the Cell.getValidation method to acquire applied validation. Moreover, developers can use the Validations.getValidationInCell method to acquire the validation applied on any cell by providing its row and column indices. In addition to the feature discussed above, it can verify if a given value satisfies the data validation rules for a cell. This feature is useful when developers want to verify if the value entered into a cell satisfies the data validation rule on the fly. Aspose.Cells API has exposed the getValidationValue method for Cell class. If the value in a cell does not satisfy the data validation rules, the Cell.getValidationValue method returns false. It sees the base code tweaked and the core functionality closer to Aspose.Cells for .NET 8.2.1, from which Aspose.Cells for Java is ported. The latest release has fixed numerous problems, and the most notable of these enhancements are the PDF rendering engine to handle shapes more appropriately, tweaked the HTML rendering engine for better layout and improved Chart2Image feature to handle text boxes present in charts. This release includes plenty of improved features and bug fixes as listed below
- Shape absolute positioning
- Add an option to PasteOptions to paste only visible cells from the range
- Conditional formatting is not working when Excel file is converted to HTML

What’s new in this release?
We are pleased to announce the new release of Aspose.Diagram for .NET 4.4.0. Timelines help you plan and communicate project schedules by showing project phases and deadlines in a format that’s easy to read and understand. In previous versions, developers could place timeline shapes on Microsoft Visio drawing page. However, they could not manage the configuration timeline dialog values. Using Microsoft Office Visio, users can quickly create clean, organized timelines that make it easy to order events and share information. Previously, the Aspose.Diagram API allowed developers to populate the timeline with milestones and intervals. There was no way to set the date, date format, type and auto update flag, however. These features are now supported. Features added across the API allow the milestones to update date, date format, type and auto update flag to create professional diagrams. Developers can now retrieve a shape’s properties using its name. The Shape.PropCollection.GetProp method searches all properties of the shape. Previously, it was difficult to find the exact property ID, and then get the property. With this latest release, we just need to pass the exact property name. Developers can use either the property ID or name: the PropCollection.GetProp method gives developers these options. This new version brings fixes to reported bugs, error messages and include various other enhancements such as .NET Application gets stuck while adding a container shape on the diagram page, VSD to PDF conversion, the portion of the source PDF file gets cut off, Error in the elements when loading VSD drawing, Shape’s hyperlink is not visible in the output VDX format using Microsoft Visio 2013 Viewer and many more. Here is the list of important enhancements and bugs fixed in the new version.
- support to configure timeline of Cylindrical timeline shape
- Add support to configure Diamond Milestone shape properties
- Add support to get property by name
- Application gets stuck while adding a container shape to a diagram is now fixed
- Error in elements is resolved when loading VSD drawing
- Added hyperlink to a shape is now visible in output VDX in the Visio 2013

What's New in this Release?
We are pleased to announce the release of Aspose.Pdf for .NET 9.6.0 . This new release provides some great new features like changing page orientation from landscape to portrait and vice versa. In order to accomplish this requirement, set the page’s MediaBox by using the code snippet provided on the blog announcement page. Besides the given approach, consider using the PdfPageEditor facade (it can apply zoom to page contents). One of the features in this release is conversion of a PDF to a single HTML file with all resources embedded. Prior to this release, when converting PDF files to HTML format, the resources (that is, images, fonts, CSS) used inside PDF are saved in separate folder in same directory that the HTML file was saved to. Recently we received a requirement to convert PDF file to HTML format where all the resources should be embedded in the HTML file. The implementation is according to the data URI scheme. In order to accomplish this requirement, a new value EmbedAllIntoHtml is introduced to the HtmlSaveOptions.PartsEmbeddingModes enumeration. The RadioHoriz property is required to control how radio button items are added: if RadioHoriz is true items are added horizontally, if it is false they are added vertically. This property is specific to the FormEditor class and just defines the most used scenario of creating radio buttons. Usually it does not make any sense to read the RadioHoriz property for radio button field and you can access RadioButtonField sub-items and read their coordinates, instead of trying to read the RadioHoriz property. The given example illustrates the RadioHoriz property behavior, how to create radio button items with arbitrary positions and how to read positions of the radio button items. We recently received a requirement that once text in a PDF document is replaced, the contents should be re-arranged. If text is replaced with smaller contents, for example, no extra space should be displayed. If it’s replace with a longer string, words should not overlap existing contents. To cater for these requirements, we enhanced the API and no such issue appears when replacing text inside PDF. As well as the features explored above, there are numerous enhancements and fixes for issues reported in earlier version. PDF to DOC conversion, text replacement, XPS to PDF conversion, PDF to image conversion, HTML to PDF conversion, PNG to PDF conversion, XSL-FO to PDF conversion, PDF to PDF/A, PDF to Excel, SVG to PDF etc. are key improvement areas. The list of important new and improved features are given below

WSO2 VP of platform evangelism will demonstrate how organizations can transform their integration process across mobile apps, legacy systems, and cloud services
Mountain View, CA – September 10, 2014 – As greater numbers of enterprises move toward a connected business model, they increasingly rely on the convergence of APIs, integration, and service-oriented architecture (SOA). RESTful APIs connect internal and external business participants; integration bridges silos; and SOA encourages organizations to build maintainable solutions. WSO2 will present a half-day workshop in Chicago to help integration developers and IT architects take advantage of this convergence and transform their integration process.
Leading the “API, Integration, and SOA Convergence” workshop will be Chris Haddad, WSO2 vice president of platform evangelism. The event will run 9:00 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. on Friday, September 26, 2014. For more information, visit http://wso2.com/events/workshops/2014-september-chicago-api-integration-and-soa-convergence-workshop.
The workshop is timed around the API Strategy & Practice Conference being held, September 24-26, where Chris will co-present a workshop, "Six Tactics For Building Successful APIs," with WSO2 Director of API Architecture Sumedha Rubasinghe. WSO2 is a Gold Sponsor of the event. For more information, visit http://apistrategyconference.com.
Transforming the Integration Process
The workshop will demonstrate how organizations can transform their integration process by rapidly implementing a RESTful design, enforcing governance policies, safely scaling solutions, orchestrating complex interaction sequences, and reusing assets.
Chris will first discuss why mobile, cloud services, and big data insights are transforming integration practices. He then will review patterns and best practices for increasing adoption, speeding delivery, and creating maintainable solutions. Additionally, Chris will explain how to realize a reference architecture for API, integration and SOA.
Workshop demonstrations will include:
• Building RESTful APIs with WSO2 Application Server and WSO2 Enterprise Service Bus (WSO2 ESB).
• Sharing master data with WSO2 Data Services Server.
• Mediating, transforming and routing messages with WSO2 ESB.
• Encouraging mobile interactions with WSO2 API Manager.
• Monitoring RESTful APIs, service usage and adoption with WSO2 API Manager, WSO2 ESB toolkits, and WSO2 Business Activity Monitor.
Workshop Presenter
Chris Haddad is vice president of platform evangelism at WSO2. He works closely with developers, architects, and C-level executives, as well as WSO2's engineering team, to increase adoption of WSO2 open source technology, improve the middleware platform, and maximize customer value. Prior to joining WSO2, Chris led research teams as a research vice president at the Burton Group and Gartner advising Fortune 500 enterprise organizations and technology infrastructure vendors on adoption strategies, architecture, product selection, governance, and organizational alignment.

Embedded in all dtSearch products, the Engine instantly searches terabytes of text across a wide range of online and offline data (including proprietary document filters)
dtSearch Corp.’s enterprise and developer text retrieval product line instantly searches terabytes of text across a broad variety of online and offline data types. All dtSearch products embed dtSearch’s proprietary document filters, enabling searching of not only file directories, but also emails and nested attachments, online dynamic as well as static data, and other databases (including BLOB data). At the core of the dtSearch product line is the dtSearch Engine.
The dtSearch Engine for Android beta will join the existing dtSearch Engine for Linux (native 64-bit/32-bit C++ and Java APIs) and dtSearch Engine for Win & .NET (native 64-bit/32-bit C++, Java and .NET APIs) in making available dtSearch’s instant searching and document filters for a wide range of Internet, Intranet and other commercial applications. (Please see www.dtsearch.com/casestudies.html for hundreds of developer case studies.)
Document Filters and Supported Data. dtSearch products can parse, index, search, display with highlighted hits, and extract content from (using the developer APIs) full-text and metadata in the following data types:
• Web-ready static and dynamic content: support covers integrated image and text support in HTML, XML/XSL, PDF, ASP.NET, PHP, SharePoint, etc.
• Other databases: support covers XML, Access, XBASE, CSV, etc.; dtSearch Engine APIs support SQL-type data along with the full-text of BLOB data.
• MS Office formats: support covers integrated browser-ready image and text support in Word (RTF/DOC/DOCX), PowerPoint (PPT/PPTX), Excel (XLS/XLSX), Access (MDB/ACCDB) and OneNote (ONE).
• PDF, other “Office” documents, compression formats: support covers PDF with integrated image and text support, other “Office” formats, RAR, ZIP, GZIP/TAR, etc.
• Emails and attachments: support covers integrated browser-ready image and text support — plus support for attachments — in Outlook/Exchange (MSG/PST/OST) and Thunderbird, Eudora, etc. (EML/MBOX).
• Recursively embedded objects: support covers recursively embedded objects and images in supported email types and MS Office formats. For example, the dtSearch document filters would support an email attachment consisting of a ZIP container including both a PDF and an Access database, where the latter also includes an embedded PowerPoint with embedded images.
Terabyte Indexer. dtSearch enterprise and developer products can index over a terabyte of text in a single index, spanning multiple directories, emails and attachments, online data and other databases. The products can create and search any number of indexes. Indexed search time is typically less than a second, even across terabytes of data.
Concurrent, Multithreaded Searching. dtSearch developer products provide efficient multithreaded searching, with no limit on the number of concurrent search threads. For online search, the products can run in a completely stateless manner, making it very easy to scale.
Federated Searching and the dtSearch Spider. dtSearch products offer federated searching across any number of directories, emails with attachments, and databases. The dtSearch Spider adds local and remote, static and dynamic online content to a search. The Spider can index sites to any level of depth, with support for public and private or secure online content, including log-ins and forms-based authentication. dtSearch products support integrated relevancy ranking with highlighted hits across both online and offline data repositories.
Faceted Search and Other Data Classification Options. The dtSearch Engine supports categorization based on document full-text contents, internal document metadata, database content, or data attributes associated with documents during document indexing. Advanced data classification options include faceted search and full-text and/or fielded data positive and negative variable term weighting.
25+ Search Options; International Language Support. The dtSearch product line offers 25+ hit-highlighted search options, including special forensics search features. dtSearch products provide Unicode support for international language text, including support for right-to-left languages, and Chinese/Japanese/Korean character handling options.
Other dtSearch Products. Beyond the dtSearch Engine for Win & .NET, Linux, and now Android, other dtSearch products include: dtSearch Web with Spider, for publishing with HTML5 templates instantly searchable data to an Internet or Intranet site; dtSearch Network with Spider for instant concurrent network-based searching; dtSearch Desktop with Spider for desktop search; and dtSearch Publish for publishing searchable data to portable media.

New Case Study Examines How OverDrive Relies on MadCap Flare’s Topic-Based Authoring and HTML5 Output to Provide Customers and Employees with State-of-the-Art, Searchable Online Help Content
La Jolla, CA, USA — September 3, 2014 — MadCap Software, Inc., the leader in multi-channel content authoring and a showcase company for Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) Visual Studio and Microsoft XPS, today announced that it has published a new case study on OverDrive. The leading full-service digital distributor of eBooks, audiobooks, music and video worldwide, OverDrive relies on MadCap Flare to streamline the delivery of modern, searchable HTML5 Help content with different versions tailored for customers and employees. The full OverDrive case study can be viewed at: http://www.madcapsoftware.com/casestudy/OverDrive.aspx.
Founded in 1986, OverDrive is dedicated to delivering secure management, digital rights management (DRM) protection and download fulfillment services for publishers, libraries, schools and retailers. The company now hosts more than 2 million premium digital titles from more than 5,000 publishers, and its digital distribution services are used by more than 30,000 libraries, schools and colleges across the globe.
For years, OverDrive used a combination of Microsoft® Word™ to develop Help content and the Sitefinity content management system to publish the Help online. However, the demand to manage more online Help content and support modern HTML5 output led the company to migrate to MadCap Flare. Today, OverDrive’s Flare-based Help project contains 1,050-plus documents, manages more than 400 articles on its Help website, and provides a knowledge base for the company’s internal users.
Among the key benefits OverDrive has realized:
Topic-based authoring, single-source publishing, and conditional tags in Flare make it easy to generate content for internal and external users.
SharePoint® integration enables cataloguing of Flare metadata to facilitate organization and production.
Apache SVN integration helps writers save time by compiling Help content on local machines.
HTML5 output provides customers with a visually attractive, state-of-the-art Help website.
Tagging Flare-based content with index keywords is improving search results.
Pushing Flare-based content to Salesforce via APIs delivers a searchable support knowledge base.
MadCamp’s intensive four-day training shortened the learning curve and cut project development time.
OverDrive Team Cites Flare Benefits
“We saw in Flare a comprehensive tool that would let us meet our requirements for rapid publishing, responsive design, and branded Help portals for our various products. With Flare, we have the features we need to build a robust Help system,” said Deb Halinski, manager of OverDrive’s Knowledge Services – Learning Systems.
“It's really cool how the simplest features can create the biggest impact. We have just begun to tap the features in Flare for our Help website, and the results have exceeded our expectations,” said Quinton Lawman, OverDrive technical writer.
"We have a great relationship with MadCap support. They played a central role in getting us started as a team and on the same page. Engaging with them is fantastic—dynamic and interactive," said Carrie Smith, OverDrive technical writer.
“As one of the premier distributors of digital content, OverDrive is putting eBooks, audiobooks, music and video into the hands of millions of users around the world,” said Anthony Olivier, MadCap founder and CEO. “We are thrilled by OverDrive’s success in supporting its state-of-the-art digital services with intuitive, easy-to-search modern Help content creation using the HTML5 output, topic-based authoring, and single-source publishing capabilities of our Flare software.”
About OverDrive

What’s new in this release?
We are happy to announce the release of Aspose.Tasks for .NET 7.0.0. This month’s release includes enhancements to the rendering functionality of Aspose.Tasks API which makes it closer to the output by Microsoft Project. This release retains output view during project rendering. A project document has a number of views such as GanttChart, Task Usage, Resource Usage, Resource Sheet, Task sheet, etc. Each view has its own settings as per user’s definition and Microsoft Project retains these views while rendering data to various output formats such as PDF, PNG, and others. We are pleased to share that this month’s release exhibits the same behavior while rendering project data to different formats. This can be achieved by simply rendering the output to the desired output format without writing any extra code. Supported views in this case include Gantt Chart, Task Usage, Resource Usage,Resource Sheet & Task Sheet. This month’s release also provides the capability to retain all the columns as in the source MPP file while rendering to various output formats. This keeps all the columns in the output including custom field columns as well. This release also supports rendering project data as a single Image. Aspose.Tasks for .NET now allows rendering whole project to a single image without any page borders. This makes it possible to render large projects to a single image using large page size such as A0.

What’s new in this release?
We are pleased to announce the new release of Aspose.Diagram for Java 2.2.0. The Aspose.Diagram API has improved export of Visio drawings to PDF format so that it exports just like Microsoft Visio does. Our development team has also worked to port the latest features from Aspose.Diagram .NET to Java and is pleased to make them available in the public API. We have provided improved rendering support in this latest release. Normally, Microsoft Visio users prepare complex drawings in a beautiful layout. Chances are they’d like to maintain its appearance when exporting to PDF or any other supported formats. We have improved the API in this area. It’s all based on the customer Visio drawing samples. This release includes a number of key fixes that help us improve Visio to PDF rendering, here are some of these
- The spaces between the text lines were messed up.
- The computer symbol shape disappeared.
- The text and image items were jumbled up.
- Dotted lines were replaced with solid lines.
- The page number sequence was incorrect.
- The arrow thickness is preserved in the output PDF format. Previously, it was ignored.
- Numbered items from the shape’s text were missing.
- A portion of the source PDF file was cut off.
- The date was missing from the label shape.
- The Microsoft Outlook icon was replaced by a Microsoft Word icon.
- All the smiley faces were changed.
- Hyperlinks were not preserved properly in the output PDF.
- Some map shapes were missing.
- Fixed: the array index out of bound error message occurred while saving VSD to the PDF Format by calling the Diagram.Save method.
- Fixed: the unknown source message occurred while converting VSD to PDF format.
Aspose.Diagram for Java is fully ported from the Aspose.Diagram for .NET API. The porting process has added a few more features that are already available in the latest version of Aspose.Diagram for .NET. Below are new features.
- Glue Shapes in Container using Connection Names – There are many ways to glue shapes in the container, we’ve covered the basics of handling glue. Developers can now glue shapes in the container by passing connection name parameters. Previously, it was only possible by connection IDs. The new release of the Aspose.Diagram API has now made it very easy: just pass the exact connection name. Developers can use either the connection IDs or name by using either the Page.glueShapesInContainer or Page.glueShapesInContainerByID methods. You can find the details of this feature in the following help topic: Glue Shapes Inside the Container
- Add Master to Diagram from Source Diagram – This feature is useful primarily if we have added the new shapes and saved them to a source Microsoft Visio diagram. It helps developers to add a master to diagram from source diagram. We have added a new overloaded Diagram.AddShape method. It takes a master name and a Diagram class object (the object that represents a Visio drawing). Please find details of this feature in the following help topic: Add Master from the Stencil of Shapes
