Yes, that's true, for now (or you can use my nightly build for 32-bit Linux, if that's suitable for you). I assume that the usual folks who do builds will catch up after the holidays.
Like I said, for now the changes are probably not that obvious, but there's a lot of new infastructure that enables further improvements. I already have a hacky version that opens SPV files in PSPPIRE. On Tue, Jan 01, 2019 at 10:57:09PM -0600, Alan Mead wrote: > Ben, > > This is great news!
