The long awaited version of Aspose.Slides for Java 15.11.0 has been released. This release comes with the improved support for the animations in a presentation. We have introduced the support for setting and getting the first slide number by using newly added methods to Presentation class. The methods getFirstSlideNumber() and setFirstSlideNumber() can be used to get or set the first slide number. When a new first slide number value is specified all slide numbers are recalculated. The issues related to thumbnail generation which were reported for missing charts, missing text or misplaced contents have been fixed in this release. The slide rendering to SVG as well BMP image format for certain presentation decks with incurring issues have also been resolved. Support for setting the animations on slides and shapes, has also been improved in this release. The presentation access and saving issues have been rectified for many presentation decks that earlier resulted in exceptions including PptxReadException, ArgumentException , InvalidStringException and UnknownFileFormat in previous releases. We have also enhanced the presentation rendering to HTML and PDF in this release for charts, text and SmartArt shapes. Many chart rendering issues including missing or improper chart legends, chart categories and axes have been rectified. The issues related extraction of some document properties including Creation Date and Last Save Time have also been addressed.
