Reference: Requesting a new release (v0.11.0) JuliaData/XLSX.jl#353
Description: Excel file reader and writer for the Julia language.
Release notes:

## Breaking changes
There is only one breaking change in this version:

- `infer_eltypes` now defaults to `true` (e.g. in `gettable` and `readtable`). This is the more common use case but,
  if it is not *your* use case, you will need explicitly to set `infer_eltypes = false` in the relevant functions.

All other changes either introduce new functionality (documented elsewhere) or relate to internals only.

## New Functions
A number of new functions have been added compared with v0.10.4.

These include 18 new functions to support formatting of cells and cell values together with functions to copy or delete a sheet, to merge cells and to add new defined names for cells or cell ranges. In addition, it is now also possible to assign `AnnotatedStrings` (from [StyledStrings.jl](https://github.com/JuliaLang/StyledStrings.jl)) to cells to create content using Excel's rich text formatting.

A new function, `XLSXFile`, is provided that takes a `Tables.jl` compatible table and creates a new `XLSXFile` object for writing and which can act as a sink for functions such as `CSV.read`.

A new function, `renamesheet!` is created to replace `rename!` for consistency in naming with `addsheet!`, `copysheet!` and `deletesheet!` and to avoid potential name conflicts when exported (e.g. with `DataFrames.rename!`). However, the existing function `XLSX.rename!` is retained (but not exported) to avoid a breaking change.

Two new functions, `gettransposedtable` and `readtransposedtable`, mirror `gettable` and `readtable` for worksheet tables that have data organised in rows rather than columns.

Some additional convenience functions have also been added to streamline functions that were already available (such as `newxlsx`, `savexlsx`).

A wide range of additional indexing options is now widely supported by most functions. Most functions now support indexing rows and columns using vectors, ranges and step ranges and will accept a colon.

## Exported Functions
Most useful functions are now public, and can be used without the `XLSX.` prefix. The following function names are now exported:

- Files and worksheets
    `XLSXFile`, `readxlsx`, `openxlsx`, `opentemplate`, `newxlsx`, `writexlsx`, `savexlsx`,
    `Worksheet`, `sheetnames`, `sheetcount`, `hassheet`,
    `addsheet!`, `renamesheet!`, `copysheet!`, `deletesheet!` 

- Cells & data
    `CellRef`, `row_number`, `column_number`, `eachtablerow`,
    `readdata`, `getdata`, `gettable`, `readtable`, `readto`,
    `gettransposedtable`, `readtransposedtable`,
    `writetable`, `writetable!`,
    `setFormula`,
    `addDefinedName`

- Formats
    `setFormat`, `setFont`, `setBorder`, `setFill`, `setAlignment`,
    `setUniformFormat`, `setUniformFont`, `setUniformBorder`, `setUniformFill`, `setUniformAlignment`, `setUniformStyle`,
    `setConditionalFormat`,
    `RichTextString`, `RichTextRun`,
    `setColumnWidth`, `setRowHeight`,
    `getMergedCells`, `isMergedCell`, `getMergedBaseCell`, `mergeCells`

The iterator `XLSX.eachrow` has retained the XLSX prefix to avoid making a breaking change. However, `Base.eachrow` now refers to `XLSX.eachrow` for `XLSX.Worksheet` data types, meaning that  `eachrow` can be used without qualification, too.

## Fixed issues

This release addresses the following issues:

## Documentation
The documentation for this package has been extended substantially to cover the new functionality and all changes are (should be) reflected therein. In particular, a detailed guide to using the new formatting functions has been added.

## Internal changes
A number of changes to package internals have been made. Specifically, changes have been made to the following data `struct`s:

- `SheetRowStreamIteratorState`
- `WorksheetCacheIteratorState`
- `WorksheetCache`
- `XLSXFile`
- `Workbook`
- `Worksheet`
- `SheetRow`
- `Cell`

In particular, the internal memory configuration of an `XLSXFile` object and its components has been changed significantly, nearly halving the package's memory footprint.

### Changed dependencies
v0.11.0 has now fully migrated to `ZipArchives.jl` whereas v0.10.4 relied upon both this and `ZipFiles.jl`. In addition, xml support is now from `XML.jl` rather than `EzXML.jl`.

The use of `AnnotatedStrings` is supported through a package extension. This requires `StyledStrings.jl` to be in the active environment. 

New functionality that has been added has brought the following additional dependencies compared with v0.10.4:
- `Colors.jl`
- `UUIDs.jl`
- `Random.jl`

In addition, the test suite now has dependencies on `CSV.jl`,  `Distributions.jl` and `StyledStrings.jl`.

## Precompilation
v0.11.0 now makes use of `PrecompileTools.jl` (initially only in a small way).
