Re: [Gretl-users] Some apocryphal commentary
So there is the "official Gretl version". Then there is the "current
snapshot". Both can be installed with a few mouse clicks, accommodating
non-technical persons like me.
And then, there is the Gig ("Gretl in git"). If I understand correctly
the Gig is something like the vision of the prophet that will soon come
true but for the time being it mainly gives hope and psychological
comfort to the believers?
Namely, "This now is fixed in git" translates into "And I saw Tomorrow,
and Tomorrow was bright and beautiful and peaceful, and generating
random variables as you need and hope it will" ?
The really comforting thing is that this Tomorrow usually does come...

Please check the date stamp of your Gretl snapshot for Windows. If
something is changed in git it does not automatically mean that a new
snapshot is already being offered. The only way to ensure that would be
to compile the source code yourself. (Which is something I don't
recommend just for this purposes, although I have successfully done it
on Windows, following the detailed instructions from Allin.)
