Email: jhwh...@techwriteinc.com -----Original Message----- From: Pspp-users <pspp-users-bounces+jhwhite=techwriteinc....@gnu.org> On Behalf Of Ben Pfaff Sent: Wednesday, June 1, 2022 1:46 AM To: info-...@gnu.org; pspp-...@gnu.org; pspp-users@gnu.org; pspp-annou...@gnu.org Subject: pspp-1.6.0 released [stable] 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[*]: https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/pspp/pspp-1.6.0.tar.gz https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/pspp/pspp-1.6.0.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-1.6.0.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 85199DE8C6648E90 and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command. Changes from 1.4.1 to 1.6.0: * In the Kruskal-Wallis test, a misleading result could occur if the lower bound specified by the user was in fact higher than the upper bound specified. This has been fixed. * The DEFINE, MATRIX, MCONVERT, and MATRIX DATA commands are now implemented. * An error in the displayed signficance of oneway anova contrasts tests has been corrected. * Added Drag-N-Drop in output view. * The Explore GUI dialog supports the "Plots" subdialog. Boxplots, Q-Q Plots and Spreadlevel plots are now also available via the GUI. * The graphical user interface for importing spreadsheets has been improved. The new interface provides the user with a preview of the data to be imported and interactive methods to select the desired ranges. * The user manual, in its Info and HTML versions, now includes graphical output examples and screenshots. * New command SHOW SYSTEM to easily print system information useful in bug reports. * Build changes: - Perl is no longer required to build. - Build now requires Python 3.4 or later. (Building PSPP 1.4.0 also required Python, but it wasn't properly documented at the time.) - The Cairo and Pango libraries are now required. - gettext 0.20 or later is now required. - gtksourceview 4.x is now supported (3.x also remains supported). * Output improvements: - New drivers for output to TeX source files and to PNG files. - Table output styles may now be set with the new option --table-look and the new SET TLOOK command. - New driver option "trim" to remove empty space from PDF, PostScript, SVG, and PNG output files. - The PDF output driver now adds an outline to allow PDF viewers to display as a "table of contents" for the file. - The HTML output driver has a new option "bare". * New features in pspp-output: - New --table-look and --nth-commands options. - New get-table-look and convert-table-look commands.
