My guess is that we'll release 1.7.5 quite soon to incorporate in the official version the bug fixes we've accumulated so far, plus a few extra features. If you look at the Changelog at http://gretl.sourceforge.net/ChangeLog.html, you'll see there's a hefty amount of stuff already. What I'd like to have in before releasing 1.7.5 are 1) we're working on an "ODBC connector", which enables gretl to fetch data from DBMSes like Oracle, MySQL, Postgres etcetera. The basic infrastructure is already in CVS: the missing bits are (a) documentation (b) thorough testing (c) a reasonable GUI interface. IMO, chances are this can be done within the end of May and the ODBC facility (marked as "experimental") can be included in 1.7.5; 2) I haven't had time to look at geno's anova patch (sorry, geno!), but it seems likely that it shouldn't take long to incorporate it into CVS. IMO, once this is done we may release 1.7.5 and concentrate on kalman + quantile regression (and more).
