Gnumeric 1.3.0

[Jody Goldberg <jody gnome org>]

Gnumeric 1.3.0 aka 'a porting we will go' is now available.

    This release is an combination of new features, porting to gtk-2.4 and bug
    fixing.  Emmanuel, Jean and the new addition Michael Devine have added
    single point formatting, bubble plots, error bars, and radar plots to the
    charting engine.  They're not quite feature complete, but it's moving in
    the right direction.  I did a fair amount of cleanup porting to GtkAction
    in gtk-2.4.  That made it possible to start work on rich text editing for
    cells.  It doesn't persist yet, but the editing should work smoothly.
    Morten did a nice job of jumping us over to the new file selector.  It
    looks alot nicer than the old one.  He also threw in a bone for Eugenia and
    made the autoscroll speed a continuous function.  Throw in the usual pile
    of patches and this release looks very usable for something so early in the
    development cycle.

    The win32 port is almost complete.  The gconf depend is getting
    compartmentalied and should be ready to drop out for the next release.
