What’s new in the Aspose.Words for Java 24.4

Release Highlights

Aspose.Words for Java 24.4 delivers a feature-rich update with 100 improvements and fixes. This version introduces support for the modern WebP image format, font embedding via CSS @font-face, and a new jar for IBM VM environments. Developers can now apply glow and reflection effects to shapes, digitally sign documents with configurable options, and manage more detailed formatting for charts. These enhancements provide greater control over visual styling and document output.

New Features

  • WebP Image Format Support: Now supports reading and saving documents with WebP images, enhancing compatibility with modern image workflows (static only; animated WebP is not supported).

  • Glow and Reflection Effects for Shapes: New GlowFormat and ReflectionFormat APIs enable rich visual effects on drawing objects, including color, transparency, blur, and reflection distance.

  • Digital Signature Options in SaveSettings: Developers can now define DigitalSignatureDetails and SignOptions to apply digital signatures during document export via OoxmlSaveOptions, DocSaveOptions, and OdtSaveOptions.

  • IBM VM Compatibility: Introduced a new Maven artifact with jdk17ibm classifier that ensures smooth runtime support on IBM virtual machines.

  • Support for @font-face Rule in HTML Loading: HtmlLoadOptions.SupportFontFaceRules allows embedding fonts defined in CSS into the document’s font set when loading HTML content.

Enhancements

  • Chart Formatting via ChartFormat API: Developers can now set background fills and border lines for Chart, ChartTitle, ChartAxisTitle, and ChartLegend, enabling more visually customizable charts.

  • Linked Style Management: The new LinkedStyleName setter enables linking paragraph and character styles bi-directionally, improving style consistency across document elements.

  • Paragraph Format Control: New ParagraphFormat.MirrorIndents property allows symmetric indent alignment for improved layout design.

Public API and Backward Incompatible Changes

  • Added SaveFormat.WEB_P for saving documents as WebP images.
  • New GlowFormat and ReflectionFormat classes accessible via ShapeBase for styling shapes.
  • Introduced DigitalSignatureDetails class with full support across major save options classes.
