*Our Story*

In this episode, our hero discovers the betrayal of his former ally, the 
Apache POI library, and goes to great lengths to patch things up between 
them, while beginning to dream of the day when they can part ways 
<https://github.com/tomfaulhaber/excel-templates/issues/28>.

And thus, excel-templates 0.3.2 
<https://github.com/tomfaulhaber/excel-templates> was created.

*The #1 feature of this release: cloning charts.*

Worksheets with charts on them can now be cloned and the charts are copied 
and updated correctly. As an example, consider that you want a separate 
sheet for each stock in your portfolio and each sheet should have a chart 
showing the year-to-date performance of the stock. This will do it! (In 
fact, this precise example is in the latest excel-templates-example 
<https://github.com/tomfaulhaber/excel-templates-example>.)

Otherwise, this release fixed most of the known bugs, especially some 
problems that Windows users were having. (People want to use Excel on 
Windows? Who knew?). A full list of the bugs fixed in this release are on 
the GitHub issues page for the 0.3.2 milestone 
<https://github.com/tomfaulhaber/excel-templates/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aclosed+milestone%3A0.3.2+>
.

I want to thank the users who submitted bug reports. The pull requests and 
nice, clear bug reports made most of the problems easy to fix.

*What is Excel Templates anyway?*

Excel Templates is a library that lets you build beautiful spreadsheets 
from pure Clojure data. I gave a talk on it at Clojure/West last year where 
you can see it in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnJs79W0BDo

I'm always interested in feedback or new ideas for this library.

Enjoy,

Tom

P.S. If there's anyone who's interested in what an Excel file looks like on 
the inside (hint: it's a zip file full of XML files), I've made a little 
script that expands it into a directory of files and nicely formats the 
XML: https://gist.github.com/tomfaulhaber/4f1db38af6e57ac648e9.
