Looks like yesterday they released a new stable version, currently 1.8.1
(previous stable was 1.6.3 two years ago).
Any idea approximately how long it takes for an RPM to appear? (I
already tried to move up to 1.7.91 by installing from source and
compiling but hit dependency hell. And goffice is merely the first step
I hit in that dependency hell.)

Free, Fast, Accurate -- Pick Any Three!
The Gnumeric Team is pleased to announce the availability of Gnumeric
version 1.8.1.
This is the first publicly announced version of the new stable 1.8 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.
It has been a little more than two years since the release of the 1.6
series and many
things have been improved:
* Improved Graphs
There are several new types of charts. Further, we now support
regression lines fully.
* New Print Engine
Gnumeric now uses the Gtk+ library's printing engine. This fixes a
number of printing
problems caused by the unmaintained Gnome Print library. That being said, it
appears that Gtk Print (and/or lower level libraries) still has
major issues on Win32.
* Improved Function Compatibility
In order to facilitate spreadsheet sharing for users of Gnumeric
with users of other
spreadsheets, we strive to make the sheet functions sematically
equivalent to their
Excel counterparts, insofar Excel has such counterparts. However, we do not
replicate bugs, inaccuracies, or arbitrary limits on for example
argument sizes.
To this end, we have improved and automated our test suite.
* Improved and Extended File Format Support
Most import and export filters have seen significant improvements.
For example,
the XLS loader now handles charts much better. We also now have a certain
level of support for ODF and OOXML import and export.

the Q.T. 'cause if it leaks to the V.C. he could become a M.I.A. and
then we'd all be put out on K.P.
