Also, the changes in current CVS are summarized as follows: - Fix for ADF-GLS test with missing values - Fix for detection of unit-diagonal matrix (oops!) - Add $fcast and $fcerr accessors for use with fcasterr - Autocorrelation test: use Kiviet's original 1986 formula for the LMF statistic - system command: enable naming of systems in the manner "sysname <- system" - system command: several other changes (write this up when done) - remove obsolete commands: fit, multiply - consolidate the commands corc, hilu and pwe into one new command with options: ar1 - merge with fcasterr command with fcast - Fix for the case of graphing 6 time series together - Fix bugs 1908139, 1909469 - Fix documentation of $stopwatch - Move handling of strings into "genr" - Fix sub-sampling bug (which was new in 1.7.3) The changes to commands mentioned above (ar1, fcast) should mostly be user-invisible: I've kept the old forms (e.g. "corc", "fcasterr") as aliases for the present. The exception is "multiply", which struck me as very ad hoc and which is gone altogether. The new handling of string variables may require changes to some scripts but it's definitely an improvement.
