PHPExcel is deprecated

  • Hello,

    I was updating a site that uses this plugin and checked for its compatibility against PHP 8.1. During that I noticed that you are still using the PHPOffice/PHPExcel library to handle Excel files. PHPExcel was discontinued in 2015 and deprecated in 2017. Are you planning to switch into a more modern extension as PHPExcel will stop working with newer PHP versions?

    Hello

    We known about this problem and plan to release updated version ( next year only!).

    PhpSpreadsheet requires PHP 8.1, but only 40% use compatible PHP versions according to https://www.ads-software.com/about/stats/

    Would it be possible to in interim use both of the libraries, defaulting to PHPSpreadSheet but falling back to PHPExcel if PHP version is less than 8.1?

    New library uses a bit different interface , so we will have to support duplicated codes.
    It has no sense for us.
