Nice!

I just finished using Excelize for a pro-bono project and it worked GREAT (save for one small issue I had, which I fixed for my own needs, and submitted a draft PR in hopes it could help others with the same issue.)

Thank you for such wonderful software!

What is your rationale behind breaking changes in a Patch-Revision bump. Shouldn’t breaking changes like this at least varant a minor version increase according to SemVer ? So 2.9.0 instead of 2.8.1 ?

I like excelize - it’s a great library.
