Apologies to anyone receiving multiple copies of this message, but
the
gretl 2020e release is now available at
http://gretl.sourceforge.net/
It offers the following list of new features and fixes:
Actually I believe the changelog missed one cool new feature for hansl
scripters, namely the very handy short form of the defbundle function.
(I think this was maybe present already in 2020c or 2020d but was
"secret" until now.)
Try this arbitrary example in recent gretl:
bundle quickb = _(level=5, method="ols")
print quickb
You saw right, there's just an underscore before the parentheses. It's
now duly documented as part of the full "defbundle" reference. Check it
out! This also enables something very similar to having named arguments
in functions. (Of course the formal argument type of the relevant
function still has to be a bundle, and the quasi-named stuff must be
wrapped inside. But I'm getting lost in details...)
Thanks to Allin and Jack for that!
