    _______________________________________________________

Details:

With version 2.4.0 of io it was possible to read äöüß° from xlsx using
OCT interface:


pkg load io;
xls = xlsopen ("foobar2.xlsx", 0, "OCT");
ret = xls2oct (xls, "Tabelle1", "A1:A3")
xlsclose (xls);

Checking requested interface(s):
OCT*; (* = default interface)
ret = 
{
  [1,1] = 90°
  [2,1] = äöü
  [3,1] =  1234
}


I made a bisect, the changeset which broke this is:

XML-based file formats
