lHello guys,
New Gnumeric 0.29 has been released!
* Availability
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnumeric
* Requirements
gnome-print-0.4.tar.gz
libglade-0.2.tar.gz
* New in this release
* It compiles, I fixed the orbit-idl dependency.
* Added Names support (Michael Meeks). Particularly
interesting for Excel importing.
* More fixes in our Excel-exporting code, it should work
according to its authors (Michael and Jody).
* New export plugins from rasca: HTML improved; troff output
and troff/pfd as well as improved LaTeX
* Printing lets you include headers and footers. I still need
to allow the user to add more and load the defaults from a
configuration file.
* Compilation tested on Red Hat 6.0 and FreeBSD 3.0
* It also contains my effort to make Gnumeric embeddable as a
Bonobo component. This means you can use Gnumeric as a widget
in your application by embedding it as a component.
It will be in fully functional shape by the next release.
* Display glitches for right-justified text should be fixed
(Thanks to Martin for pointing out the source of the problem).
* Includes nice header/footer engine. It uses the same tags
as Excel, but we have extended them.
The thing is: Excel has this powerful engine for formatting
time and dates. And what did microsoft do for their
header/footers? They forced you into 1-time and 1-date
format (btw, in Office-2000, their date format is not Y2K
compliant, check their knowledge base :-).
So, we support more than they do, example:
&[DATE:ddd-mmmm-yyyy]
This would use the "ddd-mmmm-yyyy" format for the date
instead of the default version (ie, &[DATE]).
* Analysis Tools can output their results to a Workbook (Jukka
Pekka).
* More and improved docuemntation and function documentation
* Display now honors embedded new-lines (Jody).
* Link lines have been optimized, it should take less time to
link (for developers mostly).
* Fixed references on the "SEE ALSO" section for the formulas.
*
Miguel.
