2.1.0

Overview

We are excited to announce the release of ExcelTo v2.1! This version brings several improvements, bug fixes, and security enhancements to ensure better performance and code quality. Below are the highlights of this release.

What's New

Features

• Type Hinting: Added type hints for method parameters and return types across the codebase, improving code readability and maintainability.
• File Validation: Enhanced security by validating file paths before processing. The package now checks for file existence, readability, and MIME type, reducing the risk of loading invalid or malicious files.
• Code Refactoring: Removed code duplication by introducing reusable methods, resulting in a cleaner and more maintainable codebase.

Improvements

• Date Handling: Date cells in Excel files are now formatted as d/m/Y strings, ensuring consistency across outputs.
• Performance Optimization: Improved the efficiency of sheet processing, especially when dealing with multiple sheets within a single file.

Bug Fixes

• Formula Calculation: Fixed an issue where formula cells were returning the formula string instead of the calculated value. Cells now correctly return their computed values.
