1998-09-29  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx>

	* src/xml-io.c: Changed the formatting of it to be like the rest
	of Gnumeric.

	* src/fn-math.c, src/fn-date.c: Simplify routines to use
	value_float and value_int.

	* src/expr.c (value_float, value_int): New utility functions to
	create values of type integer and float.

	* src/sheet.c (sheet_set_text): Use the matching engine on entered text

	* src/cell.c (cell_set_text_simple): New function.  Does not queue
	cell computations nor queue any redraws
	(cell_content_changed): New function: Queues recomputations for
	cells that depend on the contents of the argument.
	(cell_set_format_simple): New routine, like cell_set_format but
	does not render the value nor queues a redraw.

	* src/xml-io.c: Use workbook_recalc_all instead of workbook_recalc

	* src/fn-math.c (gnumeric_log10, gnumeric_log, gnumeric_log2):
	Range check fix was wrong.  The valid range does not include
	zero.  Thanks to Morten Welinder for noticing this.
	(gnumeric_cosh): Call cosh, not cos.
	Reordered this file to have the help always before the function
	that defines it.
	(callback_function_or): Bug fix: any non-zero value is considered
	to be TRUE.
	(gnumeric_fact): Use exp (lgamma (n+1)) to compute large
	factorials (this only applies to factorials over 40).

	* src/about.c (dialog_about): Stop using gnome_dialog_set_modal.

* Added plugins/perl/Makefile to the list of files to generate.

	* src/number-match.c (format_create_regexp): Small bug fix.  I was
	making 'mm' be parsed as 'mmm'.  Support 'mmmm'.

New:

	- Excel-like magic on strings works.  This means that everytime
	  a string appears in an expression, it will be tried to match
	  against all of the stock formating codes in Gnumeric to see
	  if there is a match (basically, the inverse to format.c).
	  If there is one, then the input is converted to a float using
	  the format rules and the format for the cell is set to the
	  matching format.

	  This basically means, you can do stuff like:
		="1/1/1997"+200 and get "7/20/1997"

	  It also works for hours and also lets you input in your own
	  language (if the locale provides proper translation), ie,
	  you can input:

		="15 pesos" + 10

	  And get the result.

	- Made another autogen.sh hack to shutup the noisy libtool during
	  final link stage.

	- Abbreviated months and days now include an asterisk at the
	  beginning to let translators provide unambiguated strings
	  (like, may->may).

Miguel.

1998-09-29  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx>

	* src/fn-date.c (gnumeric_now, gnumeric_date, gnumeric_today):
	Note that jannuary 1st is day 1, not day zero.

	* src/format.c (append_month): Fixed handling: tm_mon is zero based.
	(split_time): Fixed silly mistake I did last time I looked at this code

	* src/cell.c (cell_set_formula): Try to set the cell style if the
	style is General.

	* src/parser.y (return_symbol): Try to match the input with the
	format matching engine.

	* autogen.sh (PKG_NAME): Another hack to get rid of the annoying
	extracing symbols list, which, slows down my link time :-)

1998-09-28  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx>

	* src/number-match.c (compute_value): New file:  Implements a
	smart way of parsing numbers:  From all of the registered formats,
	it creates regexps for matching at the time the user inputs data.
	If that data matches any of the regexps, then the input is
	converted into a float, and a display format is assigned to it.

	* src/format.c (append_day, append_month): Skip the -now included-
	start at the begining for internationalization purposes.
	(split_time): Fixed the hour and second renddering.
	(format_number): Fix:  hour_seen was not being set.

	* src/sheet-autofill.c (matches_list): Allow the lists to include
	an asterisk to be able to distinguish between abbreviations and
	full descriptions.

1998-09-28  Adrian Likins <adrian@gimp.org>

        * doc/gnumeric.sgml, autofil.sgml, worksheet.sgml: More docs.
	* docs/images/worksheet*.jpg: jpg's for the new worksheet
	  docs.

If someone wants to take a look at the worksheet docs, esp the
menu and buttonbar markup and let me know if i'm heading down the
right track, i'd appreciated it.

Moving stuff around a little.

I am preparing my matching engine on input, so that Gnumeric will
auto-convert stuff like "10/Jan" and "10:45am" into a serial number.

plugin. I didn't stick plugins/perl/Makefile into AC_OUTPUT for now because
libtool is barking at me that it can't link with a "non-libtool" library.

until I convince autoconf and automake to like me.

1998-09-28  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx>

	* src/sheet-autofill.c (matches_list): Allow the lists to include
	an asterisk to be able to distinguish between abbreviations and
	full descriptions.

	* src/clipboard.c (x_selection_to_cell_region): New routine.
	Creates a CellRegion of type text based on the selection provided
	by X.
	(paste_cell_flags): New function, decoupled from
	do_clipboard_paste_cell_region.   Handles new type in CellCopy.

	* src/sheet.c (sheet_selection_paste): Simplified as most of the
	work is now

	* src/clipboard.c (x_selection_received): Perform the paste
	operation, moved most of the logic from sheet.c.  This does both
	internal paste and paste from the X selection (and everything
	works the way the user expects it to behave).

	before passing to the canvas item.

	* plugins/python/python.c (init_plugin): Use the system
	installation directory to load the python scripts.

	* autogen.sh: Hack to make libtool add library dependcy
	information (it modifies the libtool file after it has been
	created).

	* src/workbook.c (workbook_set_filename): New routine to set the
	filename being edited of the workbook.

	* src/sheet-object.c (create_object): Swap arguments to the
	ellipse object to guarrantee we pass valid information.

	* src/render-ascii.c (cell_region_render_ascii): Ok, remove the
	leaks now.

* src/Makefile.am (gnumeric_LDFLAGS): Pass `-export-dynamic', so that
plugins can access symbols from the `gnumeric' binary.

* configure.in (GNOME_COMPILE_WARNINGS): New check.
(PYTHON_EXEC_PREFIX): Figure out `exec_prefix'
where python was installed.
(PYTHON_LIB_LOC): Use $PYTHON_EXEC_PREFIX instead of
$PYTHON_PREFIX.

* plugins/sample/Makefile.am (CFLAGS): Likewise.

* plugins/python/Makefile.am (CFLAGS): Comment out.
(libpython_la_LDFLAGS): Move $(PYTHON_LIB_LOC) here.

	  approriate tags for the images and examples. Restructed
	  to be a bit more logical.

New workbook routine to set the title
Hack in autogen.sh to sed the libtool script and allow library dependecies
Python plugin now loads its startup file from a system directory.

* The fix didn't...
