What is new in this release?
The long awaited version of Aspose.Words for Java &.NET 13.6.0 has been released. Aspose.Words has gained more than 600 new features and bug fixes this year so far, with many more coming with each monthly release. This month?s release includes a further 100+ improvements to Aspose.Words for .NET and Java. The Open XML Paper Specification (called OpenXPS for short) is an XML-based fixed document format often used in rendering and printing. The format is heavily based on and succeeds the existing XPS format and was standardized as an open document standard format by Ecma International in mid-2009. Support for OpenXPS was the next step as the format can now be widely adopted by many organizations now that it is standardized. It also appears as the default format used by Microsoft XPS Document Writer on the Windows 8 operating system. We have finished integration of a new HTML parser in both Aspose.Words for .NET and Java which conforms to the HTML 5 standards. This means that HTML documents loaded into Aspose.Words are now properly read and interpreted compared to the old parser which did not conform to HTML 5 standards and thus would sometimes result in incorrectly loaded documents or errors. In last month?s blog post we reported progress on the next version of the Structured Document Tag API. This month?s release includes further improvements to the API, including the hotly requested feature Data Binding to Custom XML properties. The list of new and improved features in this release are listed below
