I see it now, thanks Ray!

 AFAIK the background to this is to draw a distinction between save
 (largely loss-less preservation of the spreadsheet's structure) and export
 (which can involve significant loss of structure or information - formulas
 don't survive text export ).

Makes sense.  They probably should have mentioned the change in NEWS.
Is it work adding to README.Debian?

Bug#702401: gnumeric: text export is missing

[Drew Parsons]

Package: gnumeric
Version: 1.12.0-1
Severity: important

The Save As dialog is supposed to have a Text export (configurable)
option among the File types.  It's still mentioned in the 1.12 docs
Exporting Text Files. It used to be there.

But today there is no Text export option. There are only 10 options,
in alphabetical order from ECMA 376 1st edition (2006); [MS Excel™
2007] to ODF 1.2 strict conformance (*.ods).  Text export should
should come after that, but it's not there.

Text export is a highly used function, so this bug makes gnumeric
fairly non-functional.
