I'm thinking that it's probably time to put out gretl 1.9.0,
which, in light of discussions here a while back, will be the
first (and possibly the last, but we'll see) in a series leading
towards gretl 2.0. (And as such it will spit out warnings for
script constructions that are deprecated and will be removed in
2.0.)
Looking at the change log, we seem to have accumulated enough
fixes and features to justify a release:

I marginally updated the Changelog this morning; yeah, the list is long
and warrants IMO a new release.
Just to add to my 2 cents to the 1.9-leading-to-2.0 plan: there are still
some features that I'd like to be in 2.0 which don't have an
implementation in native code (of course my list is very personal and I'm
fully open to revise it). I suggest that once that is done, we name that
version 1.9.9 and we go into "feature freeze" mode (that is, only
bugfixes). After a reasonable time, we release 2.0.
