gretl 1.7.6 released
by Allin Cottrell
See http://gretl.sourceforge.net
Mostly a bug-fix release, with incremental improvements in
functionality. In particular we have solved (we think)
several issues with saving/opening session files, and with
the use of list arguments to user-defined functions.
The enhancements include speed-ups and tweaks to the graphical
interface.
7/30/2008 version 1.7.6
- Fix bug: revise the way that list arguments to user-defined
functions are handled, to avoid potential namespace
collisions
- Add menu item: Variable/Normality test
- Add $xlist accessor: gets the list of regressors from the
last model
