Gnumeric 1.7.11 aka "The GO Train" is now available.

This starts the run up towards 1.8 in the fall with lots of polish and patching. The win32 build is also getting some love. I have not checked on how to make a fancy shmansy installer just yet but here's a tarball of the necessary binaries and docs that patches some of the missing features in 1.7.10.
