Hello guys,

   I have just released Gnumeric 0.6, it is available on the regular
   spot:

        ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources
      
* New features

    - It is possible to rename workbooks now by double clicking on the
      workbook name.
        
    - Add/Modity cell comments dialog box is here.  This feature has
      been on the code for quite some time, now you can finally use
      it.
    
    - You can now access data on a different sheet, just use the
      syntax: 
        sheet-name!cellreference
    
      like in this example:
    
        ='Sheet 2'A2*4

* Bug fixes:
      
    - Some ugly hacks removed.

    - Numbers with decimal numbers are no longer rounded up.
   
    - negative expressions no longer crash the program.

    - The zoom in/out debugging buttons are now hidden (you can use
      --debug 1 to turn them on).

    - First click to select a cell while editing a formula will now
      work.

Enjoy,
Miguel.
