Developers can insert contents of outer documents to their reports dynamically using LINQ Reporting. Starting from Aspose.Words for Java 18.8, developers can enable doc tag to check the template syntax and populate with data using LINQ Reporting. By default, a document being inserted is not checked against template syntax and is not populated with data. It has added support to create snip corner rectangles in this version. This release has added HtmlSaveOptions.ExportCidUrlsForMhtmlResources property. Users  can use this property to save the resources of MHTML document using the “Content-Id” URL Scheme. It has also added new property ShowComments in LayoutOptions class. This property is used to show or hide comments in fixed file formats e.g. PDF, XPS. By default, the comments are visible.  A new property ShowInBalloons has been added to RevisionOptions class. This property is used to show revisions in the balloons. By default, the revisions in balloons are not shown.  Previously, Aspose.Words used to save “@font-face” rules of HtmlFixed documents into a separate file “fontFaces.css” while other CSS declarations were written to “styles.css”. We have changed this behavior and now Aspose.Words saves all CSS rules and declarations into the same file “styles.css”. In case the old behavior is required for compatibility with legacy code, it can be restored by using the new public property HtmlFixedSaveOptions.SaveFontFaceCssSeparately. It has added new property RecognizeUtf8Text in RtfLoadOptions class. This property allows to detect UTF-8 encoded characters and preserve them during import. Obsolete value NumInDash was removed from NumberStyle enum. Please, use NumberStyle.NumberInDash value instead. Obsolete method ToTxt() was removed from Node class. Please, use ToString(SaveFormat.Text) instead. The obsolete property Location has been removed from the FootnoteOptions and EndnoteOptions classes. Please use the Position property. Also, the FootnoteLocation emum type has been removed. The list of most notable new and improved features added in this release are given below

Starting from this version, Aspose.Words provides the functionality to use metered licensing mechanism. Aspose.Words allows developers to to apply metered key. It is a new licensing mechanism. The new licensing mechanism will be used along with existing licensing method. Those customers who want to be billed based on the usage of the API features can use the metered licensing. Following code example shows how to set metered public and private keys.When dealing with very large and complex documents Aspose.Words sometimes had problems during saving resulting in out of memory exceptions, disk swapping and generally failures. It has introduced an option (SaveOptions.MemoryOptimization) to optimize memory consumption during these scenarios. When its value is set to true it will improve document memory footprint but will add extra time to processing. This optimization is only applied during save operation. It has introduced new property in this release. This property provides access to the paragraph formatting properties via FrameFormat class. This class exposes all frame properties of paragraph in “readonly” mode. It also supports inserting online video into the document. Four overloads of InsertOnlineVideo method have introduced in DocumentBuilder class. The first one works with the most popular video resources and takes the URL to the video as parameter. It has introduced new public property that affects only page breaks that are inserted explicitly into a document. It is not related to page breaks that MS Word automatically inserts at the end of each page. The list of new and improved features added in this release are given below
