+| 2026-11-03 | minor | Opening a web page (HTML) reads its first table as a sheet, whatever the file is called: a web app's "Export to Excel" saved as `.xls` no longer opens as lines of markup. Values read as in a CSV (or as text with `csvAsText`), `<th>` cells are bold and centred, `<x:Name>` names the sheet, and a page not named `.htm`/`.html` opens with a warning (#3166) |
 | 2026-11-03 | minor | XLSX `<workbookPr filterPrivacy="1"/>` (Remove personal information from file properties on save) is read and written back, and while it is on GridCraft saves no author (`dc:creator`) and no company, as Excel leaves them empty (#3089, file part) |
 | 2026-11-03 | minor | XLSX `<calcPr refMode="R1C1"/>` (a workbook saved in R1C1 reference style) is read into the calculation settings and written back; GridCraft itself still shows A1 references (#2809, file part) |
 | 2026-11-03 | minor | XLSX `pageMargins` are written as the decimals they were read or set as (`0.3`, as Excel writes them), not as the f64 widening of the stored f32 (`0.30000001192092896`) (#1609 item 7) |
