/**
@page changes Changes
## 1.1.8 July 31 2024
- Added support for embedding images into worksheets with
`worksheet_embed_image()`.
This can be useful if you are building up a spreadsheet of products with a
column of images for each product. Embedded images move with the cell so they
can be used in worksheet tables or data ranges that will be sorted or
filtered.
This functionality is the equivalent of Excel's menu option to insert an image
using the option to "Place in Cell" which is available in Excel 365 versions
from 2023 onwards.
- Fixed various issues:
- [Failure on 32bit architectures #441](https://github.com/jmcnamara/libxlsxwriter/issues/441)
- [workbook_validate_sheet_name buffer-overflow #442](https://github.com/jmcnamara/libxlsxwriter/issues/442)
- [workbook_add_worksheet does not return a reasonable worksheet #443](https://github.com/jmcnamara/libxlsxwriter/issues/443)
- [workbook_define_name stack-buffer-underflow #444](https://github.com/jmcnamara/libxlsxwriter/issues/444)
- [workbook_close stack-buffer-overflow #445](https://github.com/jmcnamara/libxlsxwriter/issues/445)
- [_store_array_formula heap-buffer-overflow #446](https://github.com/jmcnamara/libxlsxwriter/issues/446)
- [worksheet_set_selection stack-buffer-overflow #447](https://github.com/jmcnamara/libxlsxwriter/issues/447)
- Note this version is tagged as `v1.1.8` instead of `RELEASE_1.1.8` for better
interoperability with Xcode.
## 1.1.7 April 5 2024
- Bump `.so` version to 6. This was missed in the previous release.
## 1.1.6 April 4 2024
- Updated vendored version of minizip to v 1.3.0 to include upstream fixes.

## 1.1.5 December 30 2022
- Added support for writing a workbook to a memory buffer instead of to a file
via the `output_buffer` parameter of @ref workbook_new_opt(). See also
@ref output_buffer.c.
- Add support for using in-memory data instead of temporary files on systems where
`fmemopen()` and `open_memstream()` are supported. This requires the `USE_MEM_FILE`
compilation option.
## 1.1.4 October 9 2021
- Added support for Worksheet tables. Tables in Excel are a way of grouping a
range of cells into a single entity that has common formatting or that can
be referenced from formulas. Tables can have column headers, autofilters,
total rows, column formulas and default formatting. See @ref
working_with_tables and @ref tables.c.
- Added support for adding a macro button to a worksheet. See @ref macro.c.
## 1.1.3 August 9 2021
- Changed worksheet_filter_column2() parameter name "operator" to "and_or" to
avoid a conflict with the C++ reserved keyword.
## 1.1.2 August 8 2021

@ref autofilter.c.
Feature request [#254][gh_254].

- Added Description/Alt Text and Decorative accessibility options for
charts. These options were already available for images.
## 1.1.1 July 12 2021
- Added optional third party library to handle sprintf handling of
doubles. This is to avoid issues with number formatting in some locales. The
optional library is the Milo Yip DTOA implementation. See @ref gsg_dtoa.
Issue [#272][gh_272].
[gh_272]: https://github.com/jmcnamara/libxlsxwriter/issues/272
- Added the #LXW_EXPLICIT_FALSE variable to allow the default bold property in
chart title fonts to be turned off.
Issue [#199][gh_199].
[gh_199]: https://github.com/jmcnamara/libxlsxwriter/issues/199
## 1.1.0 July 9 2021
- Fix for Cocoapod issue where local md5 files conflicted with BoringSSL headers.
Issue [#342][gh_342].
[gh_342]: https://github.com/jmcnamara/libxlsxwriter/issues/342
## 1.0.9 July 7 2021

`worksheet_write_dynamic_array_formula()` `worksheet_write_dynamic_formula()`
and @ref ww_formulas_dynamic_arrays.
## 1.0.8 July 3 2021
- Fix for dynamic library soname on Linux.
## 1.0.7 July 1 2021
- Added support for writing Unix date/times via the
`worksheet_write_unixtime()` function.
- Added support for dynamic library soname version to help packagers and build
systems differentiate ABI versions.
## 1.0.6 May 28 2021
- Added support for using OpenSSL MD5 functions instead of built in third
party library. See @ref gsg_md5.
## 1.0.5 May 13 2021
- Added support for worksheet background images via
`worksheet_set_background()`.
## 1.0.4 May 8 2021
- Added support for GIF image files (and in Excel 365, animated GIF files).
## 1.0.3 April 20 2021
- Added some fixes to make the library compile more cleanly as an R library.
## 1.0.2 April 15 2021
- Added option to set row heights and column widths in pixels via the
`worksheet_set_row_pixels()` and `worksheet_set_column_pixels()` functions.
## 1.0.1 March 30 2021
- Added support for [pkg-config][pkg-config] to Make/Cmake installs. See the
@ref gsg_using section of the Getting Started guide.
</p>
[pkg-config]: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/pkg-config/
- Added ability to add accessibility options "description" and "decorative" to
images via `worksheet_insert_image_opt()` and #lxw_image_options.
</p>
- Added the `workbook_read_only_recommended()` function to set the Excel
"Read-only Recommended" option that is available when saving a file.
</p>
- Fixed issue where pattern formats without colors were given a default black
fill color.
</p>
- Added option to set a chart crossing to 'min' via
`chart_axis_set_crossing_min()` as well as the existing 'max' option. The

Issue [#305][gh_305].
[gh_305]: https://github.com/jmcnamara/libxlsxwriter/issues/305

[gh_735]: https://github.com/jmcnamara/XlsxWriter/issues/735
## 0.9.5 May 31 2020
- Fix for issue where hyperlinks urls and tips were ignored for
`worksheet_insert_image_buffer_opt()` images.
Issue [#292][gh_292].
[gh_292]: https://github.com/jmcnamara/libxlsxwriter/issues/292
- Added #LXW_CHART_LINE_STACKED and #LXW_CHART_LINE_STACKED_PERCENT line
charts subtypes.
- Removed LXW_ERROR_SHEETNAME_RESERVED warning which was used with the
reserved worksheet name "History". However, this is an allowed worksheet
name in some Excel variants so the warning has been turned into a
documentation note instead.
## 0.9.4 January 19 2020
- Added option to specify worksheet "object positioning" for images and charts
to define how they move or size with underlying cells. See @ref
ww_object_position_options and @ref working_with_object_positioning.

Issue [#259][gh_259].
[gh_259]: https://github.com/jmcnamara/libxlsxwriter/issues/259
## 0.9.0 December 26 2019
- Fix to avoid duplicate images being copied to an libxlsxwriter file. Excel
uses an optimization where it only stores one copy of a repeated/duplicate
image in a workbook. Libxlsxwriter didn't do this which meant that the file
size would increase when then was a large number of repeated images. This
release fixes that issue and replicates Excel's behavior.
Note, that this change adds a dependency on the [Openwall MD5] library,
which is now included with the libxlsxwriter third party source files. It is
possible to compile libxlsxwriter without this library, and thus getting the
older behavior, by passing `USE_NO_MD5=1` to make.
[Openwall MD5]: https://openwall.info/wiki/people/solar/software/public-domain-source-code/md5
## 0.8.9 December 16 2019

[gh_238]: https://github.com/jmcnamara/libxlsxwriter/issues/238
- Added Windows portable version of `fopen` to handle utf8 filenames when
working with images.
Issue [#238][gh_238].
[gh_238]: https://github.com/jmcnamara/libxlsxwriter/issues/238
- Added an option to allow chart fonts to be rotation to 270 deg to give a
stacked orientation. Also added support for East Asian vertical chart fonts.
- Refactored struct types used in pubic APIs to remove or document hidden
fields. @b Note: This change introduces backward incompatible API
changes. However, it should minimize any future changes of this nature.
See issue [#252][gh_252].
[gh_252]: https://github.com/jmcnamara/libxlsxwriter/issues/252
## 0.8.7 June 20 2019

## 0.8.6 April 7 2019
- Fixed issue where images that started in hidden rows/columns weren't placed
correctly in the worksheet.
- Fixed the mime-type reported by system `file(1)`. The mime-type reported
by "file --mime-type"/magic was incorrect for XlsxWriter files since it
expected the `[Content_types]` to be the first file in the zip container.
