Generalized Error distribution

are all zero
- logit/probit: correct ordering of estimates when the
constant is not first in the supplied list of regressors
- Reading gdt data files: don't stop if a denormalized tiny

locales with multi-byte characters

to change the position of a series in the dataset

regressors via right-click

correlation matrix option, give the user a chance to
insist on a uniform sample for the correlations

Mills ratio (probit, heckit)
- API documentation: take this a step further, though it's
still radically incomplete
