Late-breaking: I've been working to simplify and rationalize the output from the "hausman" command (panel-data diagnostics following estimation of pooled OLS) and I've changed several translatable strings. The changes are just simplifications (dropping some clauses, removing newlines) so hopefully it should be trivial to update translations. I mention this now because we're planning to put out a new release within about a week.

So why do we still need this misleading gretl message? The matrix-diff method for the Hausman test is still an option (for comparability with other software). But OK, we can trash the parenthetical clause in the above entry.
