What is new in this release?
Aspose development team is happy to announce the monthly release of
Aspose.Words for Java &.NET 14.4.0 . This month release adds Improvements to TXT import capabilities and rendering of Arabic texts as well as complex document layouts. It implements Gradient fill with transparency rendering in PDF along with 3D rotated DrawingML shapes (and images) rendering inside .NET and
Java Applications. Moreover, this release also improved handling of themes, list styles and building blocks when joining documents, Added support of text frames in ODT import/export, better support of tab stops and underlines in HTML import/export and many others. Previously, when there was no mail merge region defined in template document and simple mail merge was performed using an empty data source after specifying MailMergeCleanupOptions.RemoveUnusedRegions, Aspose.Words used to produce an empty output document. This was because simple mail merge is technically a particular case of mail merge with regions where the whole document acts as a single region. Now starting with this release, simple mail merge is no more affected by the MailMergeCleanupOptions.RemoveUnusedRegions option since it is meaningless to produce empty documents. Previously, when ImageSaveOptions.ImageColorMode or ImageSaveOptions.ImageBrightness was set to non-default values, the output image had always 32BppArgb pixel format. Now, ImageSaveOptions.PixelFormat is taken into account and the output image tries to keep that format. However, pixel format of the output image may be changed by GDI+ while saving. For example, the 8bpp is indexed pixel format, and GDI+ has some limitations when working with such format. In this case, when you want to save to 8bpp GrayScale image, unfortunately because of GDI+ limitations it is not possible. The list of new and improved features in this release are listed below
