ExcelDna v1.1.1 Release Notes

Release Date: 2020-06-29 // about 4 years ago

  • ↪ Excel-DNA version 1.1 implements workarounds for two recent changes in Excel behaviour:

    • ⚡️ RTD servers based on ExcelRtdServer, and streaming functions based on IExcelObservable stopped updating after recent (early 2020) Excel updates.
    • When loaded into an elevated Excel process (running As Administrator) the on-demand COM registration (used for ribbon and CTP loading) started failing (mid 2020).

    ⚡️ The update also introduces strong-naming of the Excel-DNA assemblies (thanks @augustoproiete).

    🚀 You can find a full list of changes included in this release is on the v1.1 milestone.

    🔖 Version 1.1 is intended to be the final version of Excel-DNA to support legacy .NET Framework (< 4.5) and Excel (< 2007) releases.
