April 9, 2012 - PRLog -- What is new in this release?

The long awaited version of Aspose.Words for .NET & Java (11.2.0) has been released. The latest release can now see up to 50% conversion speed improvements during document conversion.  Aspose.Words is built primarily to work with Microsoft Word documents. These formats are complex and contain numerous numbers of features. Aspose.Words is renowned for its high level of support for Word document features and now we have the lists to prove it. These lists which are available for both .NET and Java, describe the support for the most common features that you, the customer, look for during conversion of documents from one format to another. It describes any limitations (if there are any) during conversion either due to the document format not supporting the particular feature or any limitations to do with Aspose.Words. You will find that most features on the import pages come with detailed information about how the feature is imported into Aspose.Words and how it is represented in the Aspose.Words Document Object Model. We also provide handy hyperlinks for features in the documentation for further reading. We now provide a list of what tags are loaded during HTML import and what feature they correspond to. There is also a list which describes the HTML tags that are written for a particular document feature during export to HTML. We have made these lists as accurate as possible and are continually improving them. It also includes Introduction of the “Mustache” Template Syntax for Mail Merge.
