Work on 6.0.0 has started in the trunk branch. Java 8 support is being removed.
Some deprecated APIs are being removed. The exact scope of changes will be
determined as development progresses.
</p>
<p>
5.5.x releases will continue to be made for critical bug fixes and security issues.
When 6.0.0 is released, 5.5.x will be supported for a limited time after that.
The exact duration of support will be determined at that time.
</p>
<p>
There is no longer any support for POI releases 4.x and earlier. Users
are strongly encouraged to upgrade to the latest version of POI.
