I don't know what the release policy is, but I would tend to answer yes; the user dir problem should mostly affect existing gretl users, who will be quite puzzled why they can't get their old settings to work. In any case I personally would recommend that no new features are introduced until 1.6.5. If you don't want two releases in such a short time span, I can give you one or two more bugs that could be squashed in the meantime... ;-) ... > I've been assuming that CSIDL_APPDATA is the "correct" place to > put the gretl userdir, by default.

Apart from the fact that new bugs will be introduced by that switch... IMHO that would be a new feature, and it seems to me that gretl could use some time to stabilize all the new stuff that has been added in recent months. just my 2 €-ct (can you read the Euro sign in your encoding?) -sven _______________________________________________ Gretl-users mailing list Gretl-users(a)lists.wfu.edu http://lists.wfu.edu/mailman/listinfo/gretl-users
