[Gretl-users] Workaround for packages missing from menus in 2019d (multivariate time series)

Hello to all gretl users working with contributed function packages about multiple time series! It turns out there is a small incompatibility of the new gretl 2019d with some packages which prevents them to show up in the multivariate time series submenu. The underlying reason is a small menu reorganization. (This affects the packages DFM, johansensmall, SVEC_GUI, vecmI2, and coint2rec.) Scripting usage is not affected and should work normally. As a workaround for menu-driven / GUI usage, a package's main dialog window can also be launched from the list of installed packages. (Click on the "fx" button in the toolbar at the bottom of the main gretl window. Then right-click on the respective package name and choose execute or run.) Sorry for the inconvenience. The issue will be automatically fixed in the next gretl version (2020a). Happy new year's eve! sven
