1.0.8 was released to fix what I hope are the last of the problems handling broken locales.

1.0.9 was just released to polish a few of the importers. Excel now parses all of our test workbooks smoothly, lotus had some problems with relative references, and applix was not requiring a respan at start up.

New development procedes nicely. libgsf is now used for all import mechanisms, and the ole exporter is good enough to supplant libole2 entirely.

Jukka Pekka is a back with a vengance, adding lots of new functions, and I've been poking along adding features like

- a quattro pro importer

- hyper links (import from xls, and activation, no ui yet)

- constructed ranges (eg A1:index(B3,2,3))

- SheetView is finally in place

- I've even started support for implicit iteration

All in all there are lots of new toys coming up. We'll probably do a 1.1.6 release as soon as the zipfile support lands in libgsf.
