I'm very pleased to announce the release of a new version of GNU PSPP. PSPP is a program for statistical analysis of sampled data. It is a free replacement for the proprietary program SPSS.
Here are the compressed sources and a GPG detached signature[*]: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/pspp/pspp-0.8.2.tar.gz ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/pspp/pspp-0.8.2.tar.gz.sig Use a mirror for higher download bandwidth: http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html [*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the .sig suffix) is intact. First, be sure to download both the .sig file and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this: gpg --verify pspp-0.8.2.tar.gz.sig If that command fails because you don't have the required public key, then run this command to import it: gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys C6648E90 and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command. This release was bootstrapped with the following tools: Autoconf 2.69 Automake 1.11.6 Gnulib v0.0-7913-g5191133 Changes from 0.8.1 to 0.8.2: * Charts are now rendered with colours from the Tango palette instead of fully saturated primaries. * Support for new system file variants: - PSPP can now read and write ZCOMPRESSED system files, which compress data much more effectively than older "compressed" files. (The older format is still supported.) - PSPP can now decrypt encrypted system files, using the new pspp-convert utility. The encrypted system file format is unacceptably insecure, so to discourage its use PSPP and PSPPIRE do not directly read or write this format. * Missing values for long string variables are now read from and written to system files in an SPSS-compatible fashion. (Earlier versions of PSPP that supported missing values for long string variables wrote them to system files in an SPSS-incompatible way. To fix the problem, read the system file with this version of PSPP and then save a new copy of it.) * pspp-convert, a new standalone utility for converting SPSS system and portable files to other formats, is now included. The initial version supports comma-separated value files as output format. pspp-convert can also decrypt encrypted system files. * Build changes: - zlib is now a required dependency. (Previously it was optional.) Please send PSPP bug reports to bug-gnu-p...@gnu.org.
