Gretl-Hansl "IDE" for Sublime editor
by Artur Tarassow
Dear all,
some weeks ago I've started to switch to the sublime editor
(https://www.sublimetext.com/) for writing gretl code.
Even though I like the simplicity of the gretl editor and its features
such as syntax highlighting and auto-itendation, it lacks some features
of modern IDEs such as "goto-anything", "goto-definition", custom
keybindings, fancy themes, git-implementation, snippets etc. which make
life much easier when working on larger projects. Don't get me wrong,
the gretl editor is great but was _never_ supposed to become a proper
software-development IDE but rather has another focus which is totally fine.
So I started to write the "Hansl-Gretl-Language" package for sublime
which includes the following features:
- 3 gretl build-systems (client mode, batch mode, and REPL mode) for
executing hansl code by means of sublime (plots are also working!)
- syntax-highlighting
- completion of gretl commands, accessors and keywords
- some snippet examples for speeding up coding
The project still has the following (known) issues:
- no auto-itendation (still have to figure out how this works)
- issues with some corner-cases which are not syntax-highlighted (regex
can become so hard!)
The package can be downloaded through sublimes package control system,
and can be found here:
https://packagecontrol.io/packages/Hansl-Gretl-Language
If somebody wants to participate on this project, check out the code on
my github repository:
https://github.com/atecon/Hansl-Gretl-Language
For those interesting in the sublime editor, check out "OdatNurd"'s
brilliant tutorials on youtube:

Enjoy the package,
Artur

gretl crashes on expanding/closing windows... but probably a MacOs problem
by Artur Bala
Dear gretl developers,
On my MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6, if I "maximize" an output window - be it a
graphic, a script output or a model window - and "close" it
eventually clicking on "x", gretl (2020e-git) crashes; all windows get
closed including gretl's main window. A long and detailed system error
report is also produced (if it can help I can share it with you).
Best,
Artur

the "coint2rec" package became "johansenrec"
by Sven Schreiber
Hi,
there's a package with a new name on the package download server:
"johansenrec" (.gfn)
But it's basically just the old package coint2rec with a new name,
following the name change of the gretl command from "coint2" to
"johansen". (From the help text: "This package provides stability tests
for the cointegrated vector autoregressive model based on recursive
estimation.")
So if you have any scripts that used coint2rec, you just need to change
your "include" line and the function calls accordingly. The earlier top
level function name was driver_coint2recur and received some criticism
for not being very intuitve, so that is now "johansenrec" as well.
But usage is unchanged!
The old package coint2rec will be retired from the server soon, but of
course if you have downloaded it to your local machines it will just
continue to work there.
thanks

questions about nonlinearity tests
by Sven Schreiber
Hi,
I was checking the status quo of specification tests for (or against...)
nonlinearity in gretl.
In the guide a quick search didn't reveal anything.
In the command reference for "modtest" I see two options labeled "--logs
(nonlinearity, logs)" and "--squares (nonlinearity, squares)". But the
description doesn't provide more information apart from being a LM-type
test. Is there more information somewhere?
Furthermore, it suggests that those tests only apply to ols estimation,
but my idea was to run a check after an ARMA model. Perhaps we could try
to implement something that works there?
thanks

I just tried this (using gretl's variable-selection arrow buttons
when sharing my entire desktop) on both Zoom and Jitsi and there's
no problem. So I guess this must be specific to Webex.

Hi Rocco, do you mean that you cannot click on them? Or do you use some
keyboard shortcut?

I did a gretl tutorial over Cisco Webex in the first lockdown/wave and
cannot remember any problems, but that is quite some time ago. I could
test again later.

Gretl & online teaching
by Stefano Fachin
Like Sven mentioned, conference programs like Meet, Teams and Skype have
the option of sharing the "desktop", which sends to the audience the
entire screen of the lecturer as seen by him/her (at least in Window, do
not know about Mac OS)

new margeff_el package version
by Sven Schreiber
Hi everybody,
here's a service announcement: A new version (0.7) of the margeff_el
contributed function package can now be found on the package server. The
package was invented by Oleh Komashko and makes it possible to calculate
marginal effects and elasticities for a range of models.
As always, access the contributed package repo from within gretl through
File/Function packages/On Server.
(Given the complexity of the internals it is likely that if the user
input is not 100% correct, then this may result in failures of the
package. It would be very useful if everybody could report those cases
here on the list such that those input errors can be caught and more
helpful error messages can be provided).
cheers
