Gnumeric 0.64 aka 'Do the Bartman' is now available. This is a release candidate for Gnome 1.4 and is therefore aimed at increased stability and improved functionality for existing features. Overall look and feel has been enhanced: most immediately, Almer introduced long-awaited live scrolling to augment the existing delayed approach. It does fix one memory problem and makes substantial improvements to the plugin architecture. Two individuals in particular will be dramatically affected by the release of "Mini-Morten," a cute little daughter process from Morten and Chen (Congratulations!). All the other changes are largely cosmetic polishing and improved handling of corner cases.
