3166 standard
- Add new function hyp2f1(): Gauss hypergeometric function
- cdemean() function: add option to standardize in addition
to centering
- boxcox() function: accept a matrix argument
- psdroot() function: add option to check for positive
semidefinite status of matrix argument
- cdf() function: add support for logistic (code "lgt")
- "install" command: replace with new "pkg" command (but the
old form still works until further notice)
- "levinlin" command: add a --verbose option and fix some
bugs
- "arima" command with --x-12-arima option: enable the $vcv
accessor
- "dpanel" command: add --keep-extra option to enable access
to the GMM weights and instrument matrices after estimation
- Native arima: improve the scaling of dependent series
when necessary
- Line plots via gnuplot: show gaps for missing values

- Matrix power (A^k): support fractional and negative powers
for positive-definite matrices
- Fix bug: out-of-bounds writes to matrices were not being
caught under all conditions

result in a crash
- Fix bug: the $ylist accessor was giving the wrong series
ID in the case of "arima"
- Fix bug: VECM forecast failing in some cases
- Fix bug: panel plot, boxplots by group, was failing when the
sample range begins at a positive offset
- Fix bug: "bundle-plot" mechanism for function packages in
the GUI broken after the first invocation
