* Namespacing Part 3 - Charts Charts still need some work, but they are now in good enough shape that the code that reads them can handle namespacing properly. Rather than a set of static routines, Reader/Xlsx/Chart needs to be changed to a regular object, with the relevant namespaces passed in the constructor. I am still looking for a test spreadsheet with non-standard namespacing for a full-blown test, but, in the meantime, the existing tests and samples will suffice. When I find a test case, I will certainly add it. The resulting code is actually simpler than it had been because of the elimination of the need for a NamespacesMeta variable in all the function signatures. Because of that, enough errors disappeared from Phpstan that I decided to just finish that job - its baseline file now dips below 5,000 lines. * Update Change Log Need to document many chart changes.

PHPExcel vs PhpSpreadsheet ?
PhpSpreadsheet is the next version of PHPExcel. It breaks compatibility to dramatically improve the code base quality (namespaces, PSR compliance, use of latest PHP language features, etc.).
Because all efforts have shifted to PhpSpreadsheet, PHPExcel will no longer be maintained. All contributions for PHPExcel, patches and new features, should target PhpSpreadsheet master branch.
Do you need to migrate? There is an automated tool for that.
