  [gh_735]: https://github.com/jmcnamara/XlsxWriter/issues/735


## 0.9.5 May 31 2020

- Fix for issue where hyperlinks urls and tips were ignored for
  `worksheet_insert_image_buffer_opt()` images.
  Issue [#292][gh_292].

  [gh_292]: https://github.com/jmcnamara/libxlsxwriter/issues/292

- Added #LXW_CHART_LINE_STACKED and #LXW_CHART_LINE_STACKED_PERCENT line
  charts subtypes.

- Removed LXW_ERROR_SHEETNAME_RESERVED warning which was used with the
  reserved worksheet name "History". However, this is an allowed worksheet
  name in some Excel variants so the warning has been turned into a
  documentation note instead.


## 0.9.4 January 19 2020

- Added option to specify worksheet "object positioning" for images and charts
  to define how they move or size with underlying cells. See @ref
  ww_object_position_options and @ref working_with_object_positioning.

## 0.9.1 December 26 2019

- Fix to missing MD5 linkage in Cocoapod file.
  Issue [#259][gh_259].

  [gh_259]: https://github.com/jmcnamara/libxlsxwriter/issues/259


## 0.9.0 December 26 2019

- Fix to avoid duplicate images being copied to an libxlsxwriter file. Excel
  uses an optimization where it only stores one copy of a repeated/duplicate
  image in a workbook. Libxlsxwriter didn't do this which meant that the file
  size would increase when then was a large number of repeated images. This
  release fixes that issue and replicates Excel's behavior.

  Note, that this change adds a dependency on the [Openwall MD5] library,
  which is now included with the libxlsxwriter third party source files. It is
  possible to compile libxlsxwriter without this library, and thus getting the
  older behavior, by passing `USE_NO_MD5=1` to make.


  [Openwall MD5]: https://openwall.info/wiki/people/solar/software/public-domain-source-code/md5

## 0.8.9 December 16 2019

## 0.8.8 November 17 2019

- Added option to allow a user defined, or overridden, image description used
  with `worksheet_insert_image()`. By default it uses the filename as the
  description.
  Issue [#238][gh_238].

  [gh_238]: https://github.com/jmcnamara/libxlsxwriter/issues/238

- Added Windows portable version of `fopen` to handle utf8 filenames when
  working with images.
  Issue [#238][gh_238].

  [gh_238]: https://github.com/jmcnamara/libxlsxwriter/issues/238

- Added an option to allow chart fonts to be rotation to 270 deg to give a
  stacked orientation. Also added support for East Asian vertical chart fonts.

- Refactored struct types used in pubic APIs to remove or document hidden
  fields. @b Note: This change introduces backward incompatible API
  changes. However, it should minimize any future changes of this nature.
  See issue [#252][gh_252].

  [gh_252]: https://github.com/jmcnamara/libxlsxwriter/issues/252



## 0.8.7 June 20 2019

## 0.8.6 April 7 2019

- Fixed issue where images that started in hidden rows/columns weren't placed
  correctly in the worksheet.

- Fixed the mime-type reported by system `file(1)`. The mime-type reported
  by "file --mime-type"/magic was incorrect for XlsxWriter files since it
  expected the `[Content_types]` to be the first file in the zip container.
