[Gretl-users] Some new features in the next version

Hi again, let me put this information about new features in the development (= not yet released) version into this separate message. (And no, there's no schedule yet for when the next version will be released.) I'm not going to repeat the entire changelog which I linked to in the previous message; this is just about the stuff that might be most interesting for the end user: - A hansl (scripting) function distance(): "evaluate the distance between points on various metrics such as Euclidean, Manhattan, Hamming, Chebyshev, Cosine and Mahalanobis" - Also for scripting: you can now use the keyword "end" for indexing into multi-element objects, to denote the last entry or item. I'm not sure if this is already documented, by the way, but basically "end" can stand in for rows(x), cols(x), nelem(x), depending on the context. - Panel data time dimension: This handling has been much improved. For example, creating a new panel dataset in the GUI is now much easier, you can directly enter the wanted n and T dimensions. And restricting the sample in the GUI is now also possible in the time dimension. Again, this only concerns the next version (and current snapshots)! thanks sven
