v0.5.1
Release 0.5.1 mainly brings improvements to the existing code as well as the usual bug fixes. A newly integrated feature is form controls. It is now possible to create radio buttons, dropdown menus and check boxes directly from openxlsx2.
Cell initialization has been improved, it is now possible to use nested groupings, and external links are now imported in the correct order. Date detection should now be better, and when filling merged cells, the content that is not in the selected dimensions is now taken into account. The biggest change was made to the internal relationship detection, which should now be smarter and behaves more like openxml relationships should work.
The integration of form controls, the faster cell initialization and the possibility of nested grouping were feature requests or resulted from discussion topics. Thank you for the suggestion and the interest in openxlsx2.
The release 0.5.1 is the sixth openxlsx2 release which is available under CRAN. However, the package is not yet fully stable. Until the stable version 1.0 there may still be changes in the API. A look at the issue tracker and the NEWs is recommended in any case.
