Release Digest: GNOME, January 21, 2004

Gnumeric 1.2

Gnumeric 1.2.5 aka “The french keep me honest” is now
available.

A few mostly minor xls export issues, and some package cleanup.
A small patch to add some missing includes fixes a crash in the
ia64 build This package should also be alot more relaxed about the
intltool version requirements. The Manual recalc redraw issue was
quite interesting. Jean Brefort added bubble plot support, bringing
us ever closer to complete coverage of the available XL
formats.

New development is continuing in HEAD as we transition to
GtkAction and work ever closer to a win32 build.
