* Xls Writer - Correct Timestamp Bug, Improve Coverage I believe that Xls Writer is 100% covered now. The Xls Writer sets its timestamp incorrectly. The problem is actually in Shared/Ole::localDateToOLE, which converts its timestamp using gmmktime; mktime is correct. If I save a file at 3:00 p.m. in San Francisco, this bug means the time is actually recorded as 3:00 p.m. UTC. A consequence of this is that if you use Phpspreadsheet to read the file and save it as a new Xls, the creation timestamp goes further and further back in time with each generation (or further forward if east of Greenwich). One of the tests added confirms that the creation timestamp is consistent with the start and end times of the test. The major change in coverage is adding tests to save GIF and BMP images, which aren't supported in Xls, but are converted to PNG in the PhpSpreadsheet code.

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.
