Gnumeric 1.2.8 aka "Sweet 16 (lbs)" is now available.

This is a medium priority release. It works around a few cosmetic issues. Additionally we finally tracked down which theme (6nome) was crashing, and fixed that. Unfortunately that patch promptly broke Industrial/Gorilla forcing 1.2.7 to become 1.2.8. There was some work to tune the charting engine and support bubble plots, along with some improvement in xls import for embedded text boxes (XL95 and XP).

New development is continuing in HEAD based on the recently released gtk-2.4 (congratulations to Owen et all)

NOTE : release 1.2.6 was not announced to due general real life overload, it worked just fine
