High priority roadmap items

• Help testing the pre-release version 2.3-beta.1(sig) that migrates pyspread to PyQt6. Correct font wights and line widths are of special interest because Qt6 changes definitions.

  One bug is of special interest: On a Manjaro KDE test system, the font weight for Arial is wrong, i.e. the font is bold even when it should be normal and normal when it should be bold. Other fonts (including Times New Roman) seem not to be affected. Confirmation of similar or differnt behavior would be appreciated. Please comment Issue 116.

• Help with current issues on the roadmap:

  • Issue #109 : Open xlsx files We believe that Excel file import that creates Python functions from Excel formulas (via pycel) may help future users. If you intend to contribute, please fork the pycel branch and submit a merge request.
