Cell.CELL_TYPE_NUMERIC -> CellType.NUMERIC
We can't make a backwards incompatible change of this magnitude just like that. It would break almost every single user of POI's code, as well as breaking almost every example of using POI that's out there!
(Do a google search for "poi switch cell_type_numeric" and see how many hits you get!)
Aside from including this in the release notes, can we add some kind of indicator on https://poi.apache.org/changes.html indicating that a bug add/fix is a breaking change? This would save time for developers reviewing the changelog and updating their code without needing to read through every bug.
Anything that's a breaking change needs to be in a different area of the release notes
