Hello guys,

   Gnumeric "Speedy Manatee" 0.7 has been released.

   This version is available in:

        ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnumeric/gnumeric-0.7.tar.gz

   The highlights of this version are:

   New features dept:

        - References to other sheets works, you can use this like this:
          =Sheet!A1+1
          ='Regional sales'!C5*3

        - New border code.  Getting ready to print the borders on the
          cells. 

        - Menu hints are now available for every menu entry.

        - Standarized the menus (Nat Friendman).

        - Use the statusbar in the code now.

        - You can now rename your sheets by double clicking on the
          tabs and typing the new name.  How excelish!

   Enhancements dept:

        - Excel importing code has been enhanced by Michael Meeks and
          Nick Lamb.

        - When inserting/moving columns or rows, the cells moved now
          do not change their formulas (to keep the sheet working).

   Bug fixes dept:

        - Better default decimal formats

        - Page flipping works correctly if you press on the tab names.

        - Child dialog boxes no longer ignore keystrokes (in
          save/load).

        - Fixed the memory leaks on the Excel plugin (Michael).

        - Provide better error checking for dates (Havoc Pennington)

Enjoy,
Miguel.
