From: Jody Goldberg <jgoldberg@home.com> To: gnumeric-list@gnome.org, gnome-announce-list@gnome.org Subject: Gnumeric 0.72 Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2001 00:10:22 -0400 Gnumeric 0.72 aka 'oooh yummy eye candy' is now available. This is primarily bug fixes as we prepare for a production ready release before the end of the year. Graphs require Guppi 0.40.0. In addition to the plethora of small improvements we threw in a few extras to make it fun. Morten's improved search console is very nice, and thanks to Andreas range selection and non-modal dialogs are now outnumber the old ones. We now support auto-scrolling during object creation which makes all mouse actions auto-scrollable. Chema and his army of evil monkeys have been kicking the tires trying to make things fail. Please give him a hand. We always prefer to find the bugs BEFORE we release :-) Here's a tiny taste of what guppi has to offer. http://www.gnome.org/~jody/background.jpg * New features * New Search Control Centre.
