This release contains no user-facing changes.

  • We embed a development version of libxls (https://github.com/libxls/libxls), which is based on the most recent released version, v1.6.2.
    The reason for embedding a development version is to ship a version of libxls that incorporates the fix for this CVE (#679):

  • readxl no longer declares the use of C++11.

  • readxl should once again compile on Alpine Linux.

  • Other small readxl-specific patches have been made to the embedded libxls code to comply with CRAN requests, such as avoiding the use of sprintf().
