[Gretl-announce] gretl-2022c released

As usual, see https://gretl.sourceforge.net/ Per the ChangeLog, here's what's new: 2022-11-01 version 2022c - substantial speed-up for hansl functions called from loops or other iterative contexts - lists and strings: support vector selection of elements - "printf" command: support a named string variable as the "format" argument - "ols" command with --jackknife option: make the output more specific, and complain when this option is not applicable - "panplot" command: add --single-yaxis option, and support the addition of "literal" supplementary gnuplot commands (but not when the --grid or --stack option is selected) - "append" and "join" commands: support the --frompkg option, as for the "open" command - toepsolv() function: add fourth argument for returning the determinant - flatten() function for arrays of strings: add the ability to specify a custom separator - strsub() function help: note that an array of strings can be given as the first argument - instring() and strstr() functions: add optional parameter for case-insensitive search - gretl_edit: enable auto-completion, add some specialized "developer" options, and add a "kill" button to stop script execution - script editor: add hide/show functionality for selected regions in a hansl script - script editor, "Help on command": disambiguate cases where we have a command and a function of the same name - regls addon: plotting enhancements; document GUI usage - geoplot addon: start adding support for encoded data - Clarify and properly enforce the case where the "const" property of a hansl function argument must be inherited - Fix and speed up reading of gretl's binary matrix files via Python (under gretl's "foreign" apparatus) - Fix bug: fail after first iteration when adding a string to an array of strings defined within a loop - Fix bug: corruption on extracting a "series" from a bundle as a matrix when the series contains NAs - Fix bug: the GUI option to purge all-missing rows from a daily dataset could go wrong; in addition make this option available for scripting use via the "dataset" command - Fix bug: some cases where an ARMA model can be estimated most efficiently via OLS were not being recognized - Fix bug: crash on trying to extract a submatrix of size zero via indexation - Fix some actual or potential memory leaks - gnuplot version requirement: raise from 5.0 to 5.2 - Update mechanisnm for uploading function packages, since sourceforge now requires use of https -- Allin Cottrell Department of Economics Wake Forest University
