Gnumeric 1.2.4

[Jody Goldberg <jody gnome org>]

**** Gnumeric 1.2.4 aka "A branching we will go" is now available. ****

     With a few more bugs fixed, and some final features enabled for the
     charting engine Gnumeric has now branched. Version 1.2.3 was not
     announced due to last minute fixes in xls export. The main extension
     in this release is the addition of value formats for the axis labels,
     user defined, auto generated from the source data, or from MS Excel.
     Development of 1.3.0 has already begun, so releases of the 1.2.x line
     will now be bug fix only.
