I'm thinking that we have now accumulated enough bug fixes (and
incremental feature improvements) to warrant releasing gretl
1.8.5. Probably best to do so before we're tempted to embark on
any major projects that might break things for a while.
To that end I've updated gretl.pot, so it's ready for translation
updates.
Any comments, not-yet-reported bugs that people want to see fixed
first?
I'm using this opportunity to point out the feature requests on the
tracker that are more than one year old. Here's a list with some
thoughts: (I just closed the VECM-related feature request, see my
comment there.)
* Improvement of logit regression modelling in gretl - ID: 1886339
E.g. multinomial logit -- this is of course a big thing and should just
wait I guess.
* access to the ranking() command from the GUI - ID: 1906097
IMHO there is no reason not to decide on what to do with it now, no? Is
there a plan to implement it (probably in the vicinity of 'add logs'
etc.) or should it be discarded?
* Saving rankings from difftest () to the data set - ID: 1906103
Not sure what the use case is. Would it be enough to implement the
previous feature? Actually if the previous feature is implemented I
guess it would be relatively easy to write a function package that
covers this request. So in that sense I would tend to close it, adding
an appropriate comment suggesting such a package.
BTW, in the test output I found some strings that are not yet marked for
translation:
string: (zero differences: 0, non-zero ties: 0)
string: Two-tailed p-value = 0.2
strings: value rank group
* gnuplot --loess-fit - ID: 2000792
more precisely, this is about getting date labels on the x-axis in
combination with --loess-fit. Here I would also tend to outsource it to
someone with sufficient gnuplot knowledge who could make a function
package for it. Or is this 'solution' too lazy and it really should be
done in gretl proper?
* $hausman should also access random vs. fixed effects test - ID: 2034862
well this is a request by myself, so of course I think it should be
implemented :-)
cheers,
