I just tried to upload a function package written by me to the gretl package server. But I got an error "couldn't parse current_fnfiles/GJR-garchm.gfn. GJR-garchm.gfn was what I tried to upload. What does this message mean? Is this becuase I use Chinese description? See the attached gfn file

I believe this issue is now fixed in CVS: it should now be possible to upload function packages containing any characters you like -- provided they are correctly encoded in UTF-8, but gretl should take care of that.  This took some changes on the server side as well as in gretl itself. I've done some basic tests, but I'd encourage others to test too, and let me know if there are any remaining problems.
