Sorry for cross-posting, but this is very very important.
In the past few weeks, we have been working on a substantial rewrite of
the hansl interface to state space models.
The underlying computational engine is pretty much the same as before, but
the way a user can access it via hansl scripting has been completely
redesigned. The work isn't finished yet, but we're quite near completion
and we'll publish soon a document explaining the revised interface.
In fact, we're quite impatient to make the change for two reasons: (a) the
new style is WAY better than the old one under all respects: efficiency,
maintainability, generality, intuitiveness, you name it. (b) keeping both
approaches functioning at once is possible (in the git/snapshot version
you get just that, in fact), but very costly. Therefore, we'd like to drop
the old syntax as soon as possible.
Of course I hear you, Sven. This would be a MASSIVE backward-incompatible
change, much bigger than any we had in the whole history of the project.
For this reason, we'd like to have an idea of how many people out there
are using the "kalman" command in a "production" environment; that is,
hansl scripts that HAVE TO WORK. If it's just a few, we can arrange a
somewhat "ad personam" migration strategy. If there are hundreds of such
cases (but I doubt it), we'll have to find another solution.
So please speak up! The sooner the better.

I was teaching State Space Models some years ago, and you already know I
prepared some packages (BSMestim LLTestim) when there was still no
native commands for the Kalman filter in gretl. I have checked the
native commands some times, but I have not used them seriously. So don't
worry about me, backward incompatibilites will not cause me any problem.
I look forward to the changes and I am sure that the improvements in
these commands will contribute to facilitate the use of state-space
models in gretl.

I'd love to see the new state space environment.
The old was good, but too complex to manage.

I guess I'm sounding repetitive, but with gnuplot 5 and using the
compact inline data specification that you managed to get into gnuplot
it doesn't strike me as very difficult. It works for me when I do:
$testdata using 1:3:4 title "bands" w filledcurve
of course after having put the data in a suitable "$testdata" block.
But still, a nice feature of course.
thanks,
sven
