    <!-- ACTION ATTRIBUTES:
      dev: PD

      type: fix, add, remove, update, unknown

      fixes-bug: a comma-separated list of bugzilla bugs or github-##

      breaks-compatibility: used whenever an intentional (or unintentional?) backwards compatibility
          was introduced without having a deprecation warning for at least 2 final releases.
          Use a value of "true" to indicate a breakage. Otherwise, omit this attribute.

      context: a space-separated list of modules related to the change. Use POI, OOXML, OPC, etc to refer
          to changes to core POI code rather than listing all of the modules, or SS Common and SL Common
          when referring to both H??F and X??F formats.

        <summary-item>The interface org.apache.poi.xssf.eventusermodel.XSSFSheetXMLHandler.SheetContentsHandler
          has had two method signature changes:
          <!--FIXME: formatting-->
          endRow() -> endRow(int)

        </summary-item>


<!--Security related changes:-->

        <summary-item>All security related changes from 3.10.1 (CVE-2014-3529 and CVE-2014-3574)
          are included in 3.11. Thanks to Stefan Kopf, Mike Boufford, Mohamed Ramadan,
          and Christian Schneider for their help with these.</summary-item>

        <summary-item>Please note: You should use xmlbeans-2.6.jar (as shipped with this release)
          instead of the xmlbeans-2.3.jar version from old releases to work around
          CVE-2014-3574. If you have an alternate XML parser like Apache Xerces
          in classpath, be sure to use a recent version! Older versions are likely to
          break on setting required security features.</summary-item>
