Allin, not sure if you're already finished with the business of improving the handling of time and dates in the panel context, but on current git I'm seeing the following: - create new panel dataset with daily time frequency: when I enter a 5-digit pseudo-year, gretl silently ignores the input. I would expect some kind of error message.

- Again panel dataset with daily time: Trying out the new sample selection dialog, the time periods are apparently shown in epoch representation.

P.S.: Trying monthly time frequency for a new panel dataset: I enter 1971:01 in the GUI as the start date, and then gretl tells me the time range is 1971:01 to 1960:10, i.e. the end date isn't updated according to the user-supplied start date.

Ah, I see that's still a problem with a newly created dataset. Let me try again... (Supporting setting of the panel time dimension for a newly created dataset is a new thing as of today.)

(The sample selection seems to work fine now.) This is current git (master branch) on Linux. (The other issue about the un-adjusted end date also still applies.)
