Missing Methods and Change History

[Relin579]

Hello,

I decided to give Spire.Doc for Java another try and updated an old branch to the latest version, moving from 12.1.0 to 13.1.3. As expected, I encountered some build errors, which is fine, but I can't seem to find a changelog detailing whether certain methods have been removed or replaced.

In my previous implementation, I used getOriginalFileFormat() to read the format directly from a list of InputStream. While I can replace it with FileFormat.Docx in this particular test case (since it only deals with DOCX files), it's still frustrating to lose this method.

I also used the cleanup() function, though I’m not entirely sure what it did. However, it appears to have been removed in the latest version.

I tried looking for a changelog to track the evolution of these methods, but the only one I found was under the "What's New" tab on this page, and I didn’t see any mention of breaking changes.

Additionally, I checked the API documentation, but it only shows the latest version, so I can’t access any historical records.

Can anyone help me understand what happened to these two methods? Also, is there a way to access older API documentation or a detailed changelog?

Thanks!

Hello,

Thanks for your inquiry.
The new versions have indeed upgraded some properties and methods. You can check the news of new versions in our official website (https://www.e-iceblue.com/news/spire-doc-java.html).
For the getOriginalFileFormat() method you mentioned, you can actually specify the FileFormat.Auto directly when loading the file stream, which will automatically load according to the format of the stream.

Code: Select all

doc.loadFromStream(stream,FileFormat.Auto);

For the cleanup() method, it is unclear what object you were clearing before. If it is the document object, please use dispose() directly to release resource.

Code: Select all

doc.dispose();

Sincerely,
Nina
