Also: since we plan to shift future development from C to hansl as much as possible, the upcoming release will also contain a short tutorial for hansl (available under the "Help" menu). We already incorporated several valuable suggestions from early readers (whom we thank), but that is very much work in progress too, so 1.9.99 also means "let's put the hansl primer into good shape for 1.10".

I also support gretl 2.0. I think 1.10 is being a bit too modest on your part. MPI alone deserves a big number change. Not to mention all the other improvements since gretl 1.0 and (sorry...can't resist) 1.10 < 1.99 ;-)
