[Gretl-devel] bug/requests collection

Hi, the list has been busy recently with bug reports (and also some feature requests), and it's absolutely understandable that not all bugs could be fixed right away. (It still continues to amaze me that a sizeable proportion of bug reports are addressed immediately by Allin.) So here's a list of what may still be open issues. After clarification and discussion I will transfer the remainder of this list into the bug tracker and feature requests databases. thanks, sven -------- * icon for "code view" in the function package list window: change from cogwheel to something more intuitive * icon of function package list window (and others) in taskbar is only generic (non-gretl) on linux (self-compiled cvs) -- actually, i don't get any icons for menu items on linux (as opposed to windows), I suppose that's a bug of my setup? * the help about invcdf() says P(X<x), but shouldn't it be P(X<=x)? * the command 'include myfilenamewith.dots' fails even if 'myfilenamewith.dots.inp' exists (and is in the right place/dir), apparently because gretl interprets .dots as a filename extension * variable is being treated as discrete should be made optional rather than automatic (I thought it was already the case after a discussion some months/years ago) * function namespace bug; see http://lists.wfu.edu/pipermail/gretl-devel/2009-December/002286.html * Estimating one equation with 7 variables and 3 lags with OLS produces a glitch with one of the variable names: Instead of 'Yield_10yr_1' the name 'd_Yield_10yr' is printed. (Maybe it has to do with the underscores in the name?) * The command 'rmplot' is defined only for the GUI. I (=Ignacio) think it would be very good if we could use it also in scripts. * script accessors ($test etc.) for bootstrapped test results * the exogenous variables in a Johansen test setting aren't reported; and a warning should be printed that the critical values and p-values are in general only appropriate in the case without exogenous variables
