Re: [birt-dev] [External] BIRT 4.9.0 released

[Aleksey Ivkin <AlekseyIvkin@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Wim,

 

Cheers from Deltek, great milestone on BIRT 4.9 release!

 

We finally started testing BIRT 4.9 running it on Java 11 and Oracle Weblogic 14 and integrating it through BIRT Report Engine API. It looks good so far except for 1 issue related to a fatal error we are getting in Excel (“xlsx”) emitter. I just opened a defect/issue #954  - https://github.com/eclipse/birt/issues/954. Please, note that “xls” format works fine. It is the “xlsx” that fails.

 

Unfortunately, this is one is a major showstopper. Excel format is popular, used by almost all of our customers. As a result we are not able to upgrade to the latest BIRT version 4.9. Hopefully, your team will be able to provide a hint what is missing.

 

Thank you very much,

Aleksey
