Many users rely on our Excel addon for adding data to SpiraPlan, or for getting data out of SpiraPlan (for instance, for reporting purposes). Version 6.0 of SpiraPlan makes a number of fundamental changes to the application, which will require a new version of API to properly communicate with it. Version 6 of the API will be out in an upcoming release of the application. Until then the application is backwards compatible with the current version of the API (v5). We've taken every effort for this compatibility to be as robust as it can be, but there are inevitably some limitations.
