Free, Fast, Accurate — Pick Any Three!
The Internet, October 18, 2005 -- for immediate release.
The Gnumeric Team is pleased to announce the availability of Gnumeric version 1.6.0. This is the first publicly announced version of the new stable 1.6 series.
We have worked hard at producing the best available spreadsheet for a wide range of applications from simple numerical scratch pad, financial analytical tool, to scientific number cruncher.
A little less than a year has passed since the release of the 1.4 series and many things have been improved:
Gnumeric 1.6 is available from the Gnumeric home Page.
The 1.6 series is not the end of the line. You can see some of our future plans at our to-do list and our list of frequently asked questions contains the answers to common questions about features.

Gnumeric relies heavily on other projects: the Perl Compatible Regular Expression engine, The R Project, the GNU Linear Programming Kit, the lp_solve mixed integer programming solver, and of course GNOME.
Thanks are owed to the many people who have contributed patches during Gnumeric's development. Especially for the translators who wade through the tremendous volume of text in Gnumeric and deserve a lot of credit for dealing with the abstruse terms and jargon:
