  • "odf_document.get_files" renamed to "get_parts"
  • "odf_document.get_file_data" renamed to "get_part"

High-level API

  • To get a style by its display name, call:: 
        context.get_style(family, display_name=u"My Style")
    It was previously a boolean flag.
  • In meta part, "(g|s)et_keyword" were renamed to "(g|s)et_keywords" to illustrate the possibility of assigning several keywords. ;-) But it still takes a single unicode string.
  • In meta part, added "(g|s)et_comments" as an alias to "(g|s)et_description" because some desktop applications call them like this.
  • Table cells gained a "(g|s)et_cell_formula" method. Yes, formulas begin to be taken into consideration!
