Re: [Gretl-devel] pre-release testing for gretl 1.8.0
1.8.0 is not the "big", "really" backwards-incompatible version that
has
been discussed on Jack's Wiki, right?
I am still planning to test the new restrict-for-gmm feature but
currently I really have very little time. Has anybody else taken a
(practical) look at that? (OTOH, since it's a new feature, it wouldn't
be so dramatic if there are still some bugs.)
Apart from that, I hope to get around testing a little whether the
reverse-chronological-CSV-importer broke anything that used to work. But
here it would be helpful if others try importing their csv files, too.
(Well I guess it's trivial, help is always useful.)
thanks,
sven

Hello all
(Sorry for the cross-posting to the two lists, but I wanted to
make sure I got everyone).
We're now close to the point of releasing gretl 1.8.0, having
assembled quite a few new features and a lot of bug fixes.
See http://gretl.sourceforge.net/ChangeLog.html .
But the most exasperating thing in this business is when you make
a new release and immediately get a report of a serious bug and so
have to make a further release right away.
In this regard, everyone can help. The Windows snapshot, at
http://ricardo.ecn.wfu.edu/pub/gretl/gretl_install.exe
and the OS X (Intel) snapshot, at
http://ricardo.ecn.wfu.edu/pub/gretl/gretl.dmg
are both up to date with gretl CVS as of January 12.
If you can find 15 minutes to run your favourite gretl scripts, or
try your favourute gretl GUI operations, then please do, and
report any problems on one or other of the mailing lists.
If any errors come up, we'll fix them tout de suite, then make
gretl 1.8.0 available. Also, if any translators have things they
want to update for the forthcoming release, please do that in the
next day or two. Thanks!
