Subject: Re: goffice Mac OS X Build Error
1.6.3 is indeed the latest stable version of Gnumeric. I am not sure we have
stable vs. non-stable for goffice, but in any case, taking the latest goffice
and trying to use it for an old Gnumeric will not work.
So it is either 1.6.3 + 0.2.2 + hacking, or 1.7.9 + 0.3.8 with or
without hacking.

Subject: Gnumeric 1.7.9 Released
Free, Fast, Accurate -- Pick Any Three!
The Gnumeric team is proud to announce the release of Gnumeric 1.7.9,
a development release. This release requires the concurrently released
Goffice 0.3.8, see below.
With this release we (well, Andreas) have switched from gnome-print to
GtkPrint and in the process fixed a large number of bugs caused by
gnome-print. Undoubtedly we have a new set of bugs caused by GtkPrint,
but there is some hope that GtkPrint will be better maintained than
gnome-print ever was. Note: gnome-print is still linked in via
goffice, but this will change.
In addition, this release uses the GtkRecentManager to handle
recently-used documents and should thus interact better with Gnome.
* Andreas
o Switch to gtk print from gnome-print. (Expect some feature
regression).
* Jody
o Import and Export for inline arrays in ODF. (now patched in OOo).
o Export cell comments to xls.
* Morten
o Require three digits after a thousands separator in order
to accept it as a number. [Bug 415007].
o Fix autofill issue. [Bug 414815].
o Fix criticals with frozen panes. [Bug 308562].
o Fix rich text problem. [Bug 417632].
o Use GtkRecentManager. Fixes Bug 115112.
o Ignore local files that no longer exist. [Bug 67453].
o Fix XL load crash. [Bug 418868].
o Fix format guessed for $123,456.78 [Bug 423603].
o Perform UTF-8 normalization during search. [Bug 421678].
o Allow selecting a locale for sorting. [Bug 427019].
o Make sure ssindex doesn't update the recent-files list.
o Update recent-files on load and save. [Bug 152584].
Goffice 0.3.8 aka "TBD" is now available.
* Emmanuel
o Fix alignement of rotated axis labels. [Bug 343507] .
* Morten
o Add preconditions to text combo widget's API functions.
o Unicode-normalize regexps patterns.
o Improve character set guesser. [Bug 401588].
o Fix format selector crash. [Bug 431256].

We do have stable vs unstable for goffice
- 0.2.x = stable
- 0.3.x = development
Jean has been requesting a stable snapshot of goffice for use in
gchempaint and abiword. It seems like a good time to start
stabilizing the current code with an eye towards a 1.8.x release.
We've been without a stable release for too long.
Jeshua : I'd suggest targeting gnumeric-1.7.9 and goffice-0.3.8
with the assumption that they will be blessed as stable
within the next couple of months.

Perhaps users should be warned more explicitly. While you now can print
in landscape etc., if you "upgrade" to this version you will loose the
ability to set margins, specify header and footer information, print
repeated rows or columns and virtually anything else you used to set in
the old page-setup dialog.
These things will all return but have not yet been implemented using
gtkprint.

I'm thinking that the gnumeric component should not go in 1.8 since it
will be unusable for sheet inclusion in abiword-2.6.x. The cause is that
gnome-print support has been removed from gnumeric while abiword still
uses it.
Cheers,
Jean
