Apache POI™ releases are available under the <a href="https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0">Apache License, Version 2.0.</a>

from the <a href="download.html">Download</a> page.

The versioning scheme for Apache POI is based on the principles of
|
|
<a href="https://semver.org/">Semantic Versioning 2.0.0</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
We started using this versioning scheme in Apache POI 4.0.0. Versions prior
|
|
to this did not follow exactly the same principles with the numbers typically being of the form
|
|
X.Y. X indicated the major version but there may in some cases, have been big changes between
|
|
minor versions.

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.

<div class="section">

<p>
|

Typically, migrating from one major version to the next should be straightforward.
|
|
Before migrating, you should check if you are using any deprecated APIs and try to update
|
|
your code by following the deprecation notices.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you are migrating across multiple major versions, it is recommended to do this
|
|
step by step, i.e. first migrate to the next major version, test your application
|
|
and then continue to the next major version. A method might have been deprecated
|
|
in one major version and then removed in the next major version.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Minor versions may introduce new features and deprecate existing APIs.
|
|
They might also contain bug fixes that could potentially affect existing functionality.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
POI 5.0.0 renamed the ooxml-schemas jar to poi-ooxml-full and
|
|
poi-ooxml-schemas jar to poi-ooxml-lite. Please check your dependencies
|
|
when migrating from POI 4.x to POI 5.x.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Please check the <a href="changes.html">Change Log</a> for details about
|
|
what has changed in each version.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
You can also check the <a href="apidocs/index.html">Javadocs</a> online for
|
|
various releases.

If you encounter any issues when migrating, please report them to the
