-For further information, see the ApacheCon Europe Web site at - www.eu.apachecon.com
-We are currently working to support the new Office Open XML file formats, such as XLSX and PPTX, which were introduced in Office 2007.
-Support for these is currently only available in an svn branch, - but we hope to have a full release including it by the summer. - People interested should follow the - dev list to track progress.
+Support for these is currently only available in the 3.5 series, + which is in a svn branch (not trunk). POI 3.5.1 beta 1 was released + on 2008-07-18, and is our first release including the OOXML support. + It is available to download from your favourite + local mirror. +
+Please note that the documentation on the website is for the + 3.1 series of POI. Documentation on the new OOXML support is + included in the 3.5.1 beta 1 distribution.
