Gnumeric 1.7.13 Released (Beta1)

["Morten Welinder" <mortenw gnome org>]

Free, Fast, Accurate -- Pick Any Three!

The Gnumeric Team is pleased to announce that Gnumeric 1.7.13
is now available.  This release requires the concurrently released
Goffice 0.5.1

It has been a long time since the last stable release and lots of
changes have gone in since then.  Several Linux distributions
have started shipping the 1.7 series.  Recognizing that, we have
decided that now is as good a time as any other to declare that

    Gnumeric is Now in Beta Test Mode

We believe that 1.7.13 is already more stable than 1.6.3 is.  If you
know of anything that crashes, we would like to know.

Now would be a good time to test your favourite feature and report
any failures at http://bugzilla.gnome.org

Now would be a good time for translators to have a look at the gui
and see if something ought to be translated.  However, since the
function documentation reorganization did not get done in time
and will have to wait for the 1.9 series, it probably it not worth it
to spend significant time for function documentation, i.e., the
po-functions/ part of the strings.
