This year, I've spent most of the time that I can dedicate to PSPP
development on rewriting
PSPP in Rust. A big motivation for this is bugs: it is easier to write
reliable code in Rust than
in C, because of the way that the language is structured. Security issues
are closely related.

But I've been able to do some work in the Rust version that I had not done
in the C version.
Currently, I am working on support for displaying graphs that appear in SPV
files. This will
ultimately allow PSPP to produce graphs in the full generality that SPSS
supports. I'm
making good progress on this. My hope is that I'll be able to release this
feature in the
Rust version of PSPP by the end of the year.

I post about progress sometimes on my Mastodon account, which you can
follow at
https://framapiaf.org/@blp. I recently posted one example of progress on
PSPP graphs:

related posts that I've made there:
