May 2007 Release (rev 8298)

The most notable new features in this release is:

• Shared Workspace, allow groups of people to work together in a common environment. Spreadsheets in a shared workspace are co-owned by all the workspace members. (#4028)
• New spreadsheet sharing interface. The previous three paged “Share to Public”, “Share with Password” and “Share to Users” interface are combined into one with a more intuitive workflow. (#6481)
• More scalable backend architecture. We can now handle a lot more concurrent users with more predictable response time.

Other new features include:

• Support fetching data from a password protected spreadsheet web fetch through web-fetch (see the forum discussion) (#6674)
• A new “remove all” button in remote data dialog (#6747)
• Added hyperlink function “=hyperlink(href,text)” (#6652)
• A tooltip to notify users of new features. You should have noticed that we’re using it to promote our Shared Workspace feature already. (#5974)

Also fixed in this release are:

• Freeze-pane not properly exported in XLS format (#5204)
• Phantom editing of unauthorized sheets (#5901, #6661)
