2016-07-06 version 2016c
- Add Ukrainian translation
- Major revision of the user interface to the Kalman filter
and state space modeling
- New function dropcoll() to expunge collinear terms from a
list of series
- lags() function: accept a vector for the first argument
- New variable under the "set" command: "force_qr" forces
the use of QR decomposition in the "ols" command
- Add new --band option to the "gnuplot" and "plot" commands,
for plotting confidence bands and the like
- "gmm", "mle" and "nls" commands: document the previously
hidden "param_names" keyword
- "nls" command: add --no-gradient-check option, as in "mle"
- "append" command: add --fixed-sample option: restricts the
operation to "sideways" appending of new series
- "data" command, --compact option: add new mode, "spread"
- Writing and reading files via commands and functions: ensure
that the gretl "working directory" is respected if an
absolute path is not given
- Fix spurious "no numeric conversion" message emitted by
some plot editing operations
- Lags button for exogenous variables in VARs: ensure it's
sensitive when it's supposed to be
- Add Nile flow dataset to the package, plus a sample script
that estimates the Local Level model
- Function package DTD: make "tags" element mandatory; plus
add offline tags list to GUI package editor
- Fix bug: crash on malformed "genr" expression with only a
type name
- Fix bug: crash with the "mpols" command when the dependent
variable is a constant
- Fix bug: gnuplot error on selecting "loess fit" via the
GUI plot editor when the plot already has a fitted line
- Fix bug: the transpose-multiply operator (') now respects
right-associativity
- gig: add variance forecasting (only residual-based for APARCH
so far)
- Miscellaneous smaller bug fixes
