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:

If anyone knows of any show-stopper bugs that really should be
fixed before releasing 1.9.0, please speak up. And I'd be grateful
if people could find the time to beat on current CVS/snapshot
in case any recent changes have broken things.
