GTK3 based gretl on Wayland
by Marcin Błażejowski
Hi,
I've been using GTK3 based gretl for years - without any problems.
Recently, I decided to move from the very old X11 graphics to Wayland
and I encountered the following two problems:
1. Drag-and-drop actions don't work (neither for scripts nor data).
2. Clipboard is one-directional: I can copy raw text from the operating
system to gretl, but I cannot copy enything from gretl to operating
system (scripts, results).
I checked GTK2 and everything is ok. I'm using current git version.

gretl(cli.exe) has problems removing temp files on Windows
by Sven Schreiber
Hi,
recently (?) I'm observing these kind of error messages on a Windows
shell, as the last message before the called gretlcli.exe program exits:
win32_remove 'prntmp.J1BKZ1': 'Der Prozess kann nicht auf die Datei
zugreifen, da sie von einem anderen Prozess verwendet wird.
'
( = Process cannot access file because it is in use by another process.)
One (but not the only) situation where this happens is when I call
'gretlcli.exe --makepkg mypkg.inp'. So far it seems that no actual
problems are caused by this error message; nevertheless it didn't happen
"before" and it's making me a little nervous.
My suspicion is that it may happen because usually when I call
gretlcli.exe I also have the GUI program running, and so maybe they both
try to do stuff in the dotdir?
thanks

tobit's --quiet flag to quite guiet
by Marcin Błażejowski
Hi,
when we perform tobit command with --guiet flag we sometimes get the
following message: "Warning: couldn't improve criterion (gradient =
6.04477e-06)", which /per se/ makes estimation not so quiet. So, the
question is: shall we leave current behavior or make 'tobit --quiet'
really quiet?
If the later, I wrote a simple patch which suppress any messages
(attached). Another possibility would be adding '--silent' flag, which I
could do either?
What do you think?

crash when clicking the "show windows" button
by Sven Schreiber
Hi,
just got a hard crash on Windows with a Jan-7th snapshot, when I clicked
the upper-right corner button that is supposed to show a drop-down
context menu with a list of open windows.
I'm not trying right now to reproduce it, and so fixing this may be
difficult, but I'll report the circumstances as I remember them.
- I had just run the regls sample script, opening it via the package
list window.
- The script editor was open in tabbed mode with a lot of tabs (more
than could fit horizontally).
- The console was swallowed.
Don't know what else was going on.
thanks

Hanl on Jupyter Notebook
by Federico Fiorani
Dear all,
I was thinking that having hansl on jupyter notebook would be a very useful
thing.
Has anything been implemented yet?
From what I've seen, creating a kernel for hansl with IPython shouldn't be
"too complicated" (or so it seemed to me).
What are your thoughts on this?

small error with modprint
by Sven Schreiber
Hi, not sure if the following is a bug per se, but the error message is
strange in any case:
<hansl>
open denmark
matrix dummymat = {3, 0.5; 2, 0.6; 4, 0.9}
strings somenames = defarray("ha", "ho", "he")
modprint dummymat somenames # works
extram = {-3}
somenames += "extra"
modprint dummymat somenames extram # works
modprint dummymat somenames {-3} # fails
</hansl>
So it looks as if the vector at the end of the modprint command cannot
be given as a literal. This looks like a bug to me, but not sure. The
error message, however, claims that the strings array before it is
causing problems, and I guess that's just wrong.

missing image files in git master?
by Sven Schreiber
Hi, I got errors on Linux at the "make install" stage because some
figure files were not present. I believe this is in relation to geoplot
changes.

stacked area chart needed?
by Sven Schreiber
Hi everybody, and perhaps Artur T. in particular,
I found an old script file with a plotting function "stackedarea" lying
around on my harddisk, and I'm attaching it in a slightly updated form.
I'm not sure if we currently have the functionality of producing a
stacked area plot somehow, although two or three times it was discussed,
I believe.
Any hints and comments welcome, especially on the question whether this
should be turned into a function package.
thanks

new crash recipe (with 'inject')
by Sven Schreiber
Hello again,
here's a fairly minimal example:
<hansl>
open denmark
system method=ols
equation LRM 0
equation LRY 0
end system
RR = defarray("[2 , 10] = 0b") # the "b" got shuffled around
restrict
inject RR
end restrict
</hansl>
Actually, the single-equation variant also "works" in producing a crash:
<hansl>
open denmark
ols LRY 0 LRM
RR = defarray("[2] = 0b")
restrict
inject RR
end restrict
</hansl>
But apart from such input errors, "inject" seems to work nicely!
thanks

about some syntax highlighting details
by Sven Schreiber
Hi, here's one or two questions about the specification of keywords and
such in gui/gretl.lang and the way it interacts with syntax highlighting.
I'm working with the relatively new way to specify restrictions in a
system, using the "inject" command inside a restrict block, introduced
in gretl 2021b. I'm noticing that "inject" is not syntax-colored. Would
it be correct to add a line "<keyword>inject</keyword>" in the section
<context id="commands" style-ref="command"> in the gretl.lang file?
Also, I'm seeing "TRUE" and "FALSE" in the $-accessor section
("internalvars"), although they are not such accessors. (I.e., $TRUE
doesn't work, and TRUE isn't syntax-colored.) Not sure how to solve
that. Maybe introduce a new section "internalvars2" that do not take a $
prefix?
thanks
