Global announcements

A new release of the Helper AddIn is now available, from https://www.docx4java.org/docx4j/Docx4j ... -2-0-0.exe

You'll need this update to support the w16 and w16cid namespace prefixes Microsoft added to Word (for example, in updates to Office 16), which docx4j added support for in v8.1.5.

docx4j 8.2.0 was published in Maven Central on 2 June 2020.

To use it via Maven, just add one and only one of docx4j-JAXB-Internal, docx4j-JAXB-MOXy,
or docx4j-JAXB-ReferenceImpl to your pom. https://search.maven.org/search?q=g:org.docx4j

Otherwise, see https://www.docx4java.org/downloads.html

Minimum supported Java version is 8.0. Note that recent Java releases do not include JAXB, so for these new releases, you can't use docx4j-JAXB-Internal. Make sure it isn't on ...

docx4j 11.1.8 - for use with Java 11 or later - is now available in Maven Central.

11.1.8 is a JPMS modularised release, so the jars contain module-info.class entries.

11.1.8 is compiled with Java 14, targeting Java 11. If you are not using Java 11 or later, you should stick with docx4j 8.x.

Compared to 11.1.7, this release contains just a single enhancement/fix: in OpenDoPE image injection, the content control tag now supports a width=n|auto ...

docx4j 8.1.7 and 11.1.7 are each now in Maven Central.

The only real difference between the two is that the 11.1.7 jars include module-info.

For docx4j 11.1.x users, 11.1.7 is important; it rolls up the changes in 8.1.4 to 8.1.7

8.1.7 is just a minor release (if you are already using 8.1.5 or 8.1.6 which you should be, for docx or xlsx respectively).

- OpenDoPE: fix handling of count>0 when OpenDoPEHandler.ENABLE_XPATH_CACHE
- docx4j-export-fo: move to ...

docx4j 8.1.6 is now in Maven Central.

Its just a minor release:

To use it via Maven, just add one and only one of docx4j-JAXB-Internal, docx4j-JAXB-MOXy,
or docx4j-JAXB-ReferenceImpl to your pom. https://search.maven.org/search?q=g:org.docx4j

docx4j 8.1.5 is now in Maven Central. Thanks to those who contributed.

The driver for this release is to ensure the namespaces corresponding to prefixes w16 and w16cid are declared
when docx4j outputs a docx. Microsoft Word (following recent updates) has writes those prefixes to the mc:Ignorable attribute, and
it is unable to open a document if a prefix which appears in that attribute is not declared.

For further changes please see ...

or docx4j-JAXB-ReferenceImpl to your pom. https://search.maven.org/search?q=g:org.docx4j
