I should add that I find it hard to decide when to look at bug
reports! I need to do a
better job of keeping up with them.

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:
