* NOT ACTIVELY MAINTAINED

Thanks for your interest. I'm sorry but I am not able to actively maintain this library anymore, I haven't been a user of this project since 2011, and whilst I've tried to keep up with it for most of the last 10 years, I simply don't have the time anymore that it requires to be dedicated to this.

I do accept PRs and will issue releases from time to time, but I'm not investing time in coding on this myself.

If you're starting from scratch, I strongly suggest that you consider using [[https://github.com/360EntSecGroup-Skylar/excelize][excelize]] or one of the other available XLSX libraries.

We're back! The will of the people has spoken. [I](https://github.com/tealeg) tried to slowly let
this die, but the patches keep coming in, and people keep expressing
frustration at the alternatives. So, the fate of this library
lies with you all. [I](https://github.com/tealeg) will review patches, make releases, etc. [I](https://github.com/tealeg)
don't plan to take on any new development work here myself, but I will
attempt to support you if you do.
