Gnumeric 1.5.3 Released

Free, Fast, Accurate -- Pick Any Three!

We are pleased to announce Gnumeric 1.5.3 (aka "The Cat's Out"), a development version of the Gnumeric spreadsheet. Highlights:

• Win32 font improvements.
• When you hide a toolbar it will stay hidden.
• Many graph improvements, for example rotated text.
• The beginnings of conditional formatting. (However, a GUI is still missing, so it is a bit hard to try out.)
• Spurious line breaks in printing should be gone.
• Lots of little fixes.

You will need the concurrently released GOffice 0.0.3 and libgsf 1.12.2 in order to compile and run Gnumeric 1.5.3. All dependencies are linked from our download page.
