As always, many thanks, Allin!
One immediate question relating to the changelog: At the bottom it says
update the Windows build to MS-MPI 10.1.3; does that mean it's not
necessary for the user to install the MPI distribution provided by
Microsoft? If so, I wasn't aware that it directly comes with gretl, is
that a new thing?
Ah, no, you still have to install MS-MPI (the DLLs and executables).
What I updated was the support files involved in the gretl build:
headers and the "import library".
While I haven't tested very rigorously (and don't really understand
how this would work), it seems this has speeded up MPI performance on
Windows quite substantially.
