I just committed the final(?) update to the German translation for
1.6.6. As always, it would be nice if another snapshot could be provided
before release, to see if I broke anything.
On a completely unrelated issue, it looks as if I will soon have a
MacOSX system to play with. Some time ago it was indicated that you
could need help with building on Mac, and starting in December or
January I will hopefully be in the position to do that.

OK, there's a new snapshot in place now.

I now have access to an intel Mac, but not a PPC one any more. If
it's worth supporting PPC for gretl >= 1.6.6 we'll have to try to
find someone who can build on that platform.
(There's also the possibility of building a "universal binary" on
either type of Mac platform, but having taken a quick look at the
docs on that I find the prospect daunting. If anyone else is less
daunted -- go for it!)

I still have a very old PPC Mac, but I'm not sure whether I will manage
to install OSX on it. We'll see, I want to try anyway.

No idea. Maybe it's easier in the new OSX version? Again, we'll see.

I think it may be easier in new OS X -- but I suspect the degree
of ease depends on whether or not one is building the given
program using Apple's "Xcode" IDE.
I have not even tried to use Xcode to build gretl, since I'm using
various auxiliary libraries installed via Fink (notably GTK), and
I have no idea how to bring those within the ambit of Xcode. Nor
do I have any notion of how to handle (if this is indeed possible)
multiple per-platform versions of such third-party libraries in
the context of an Xcode project.
In short, this is terra incognita to me, but if anyone else is
able to make progress, that's great.
Allin.
