To those who have been using Windows snapshots of gretl over the last week or so: my apologies, the bug-rate has been higher than usual. I've been working lately on trying to streamline and rationalize our handling of variant filename encodings (which is only an issue on Windows since everyone else uses UTF-8 these days). I wasn't expecting this to be easy but it has been even harder than I thought, and I'm afraid I have sprinkled quite a few bugs into the snapshots in the process. Anyway, I think that things have now stabilized. For anyone running a recent Windows snapshot, I would recommend updating to the latest iteration; see http://gretl.sourceforge.net/win32/ And of course, please speak up if you find anything wrong.

Thanks, Artur, that would be good, if you have time!

(Only the snapshots afterwards.) I'm asking because the tweet seems to suggest problems with the release 2018c.

Sven is right, the buginess crept in after 2018c.
