v0.5.2 Release Notes

This patch release restores mixed chart/table patch workflows on COM-backed execution and clarifies error behavior for non-COM environments.

Highlights

• Restored mixed-op support:
• create_chart and apply_table_style can be executed in one request when the backend resolves to COM (backend="com" or COM-available backend="auto").
• Improved error behavior:
• when COM is unavailable, mixed create_chart + apply_table_style requests now return a clear COM-required error.
• Added and updated regression coverage:
• mixed request succeeds on COM
• mixed request fails clearly when COM is unavailable
• backend="openpyxl" continues to reject create_chart requests

Notes

• This release does not add new MCP tools or patch operations.
• Documentation (README and MCP guide) has been aligned with the restored mixed-op behavior.
