See http://gretl.sourceforge.net/ 2012-11-05 version 1.9.10 - Update translations - Major new command "join": this adds sophisticated procedures for assembling a dataset from multiple sources - New command "markers": manipulate observation marker strings - "delete" command: add a --force option to permit deletion of series in loops (to be used with caution!) - "data" command: allow this in loops - "open" command: rename the option for reading fixed format data from --cols to --fixed-cols; also allow use of this command in loops (gretlcli only) - "dpanel" and "arbond" commands: indicate in the model printout if the AR, Sargan or Wald tests failed - "gnuplot" command: add a --with-lp option to use linespoints - "modtest" command: support the autocorrelation option for ARMA models, using the Ljung-Box statistic - "boxplot" command: add a --matrix option (works in the same way as with the "gnuplot" command) - "freq" command: add a --matrix option to select a column from a named matrix instead of a series - "corrgm" command: make the $test and $pvalue accessors available for the Ljung-Box test at the maximum lag - "xtab" command: use string values of variables if available - Add three new functions: ghk(), halton() and isnan() - The mread() function now allows leading #-comment lines in the plain text file from which a matrix is read - Add two new accessors: $pi and $huge - Fix for ARMA forecasts: ensure that the dynamic portion starts as soon as possible when the --dynamic option is given - Switch to using libcurl for HTTP transaction support - Add two new element-wise matrix operators, ".>=" and ".<=", (greater than or equal, less than or equal) - Fix some buggy behavior in regard to empty matrices - Fix for use of "catch" (to trap errors) in loops - Fix GUI bug: lagged series could become invisible in the main window under some (unusual) conditions - Allow passing "null" as an argument for lists in user-defined functions - Enable indexing into named lists to get the ID numbers of series - Bivariate normal cdf: switch from Drezner(78) to a faster and more robust algorithm - randgen() function, gamma distribution option: switch to the fast Marsaglia-Tsang generator for gamma variates - GUI: add check for updated addons, such as gig - GUI icon view: enable copying of graphs and matrices - GUI graphs: in saving as PDF, remember the user's choice of font size for the duration of the session - MS Windows build: work around problems associated with the "Virtual Store" folder-redirection introduced in Windows Vista - Linux: add proper XDG support (mime types, icons) - OS X package: update the gmp, mpfr and fftw libraries - MS Windows and OS X: update gnuplot to version 4.6.1 -- Allin Cottrell Department of Economics Wake Forest University, NC
