GNU libavl 2.0.3 released

2007-08-27 Thread Ben Pfaff
GNU libavl 2.0.3 is now available from ftp.gnu.org.  The source
distribution may be retrieved as:
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/avl/avl-2.0.3.tar.gz
Pre-formatted copies of the libavl book in various formats are
also available:
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/avl/avl-2.0.3.html.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/avl/avl-2.0.3.pdf.gz
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/avl/avl-2.0.3.text.gz

libavl is a library in ANSI/ISO C for the manipulation of binary trees
and balanced binary trees.  libavl is written using a literate
programming system called TexiWEB.  By way of TexiWEB, libavl is as
much a textbook on binary trees and balanced binary trees as it is a
collection of code.

Changes for version 2.0.3:

  Previously, all of libavl was under GPL version 2.  Now, the libavl
  book is under the GNU Free Documentation License (version 1.2 or
  later), the libraries under the GNU Lesser General Public License
  (version 3 or later), and programs under the GNU General Public
  License (version 3 or later).  Refer to README for details.

  Fix incompatibility between libavl and recent versions of Texinfo.
  libavl now recommends Texinfo 4.8.

  BST_MAX_HEIGHT, AVL_MAX_HEIGHT, RB_MAX_HEIGHT were fixed to use the
  maximum, not minimum, height of a tree, and to have reasonable
  values for 64-bit systems.  The lower bound on the number of nodes
  in an AVL tree was fixed also.

  Fixed the spelling of referenced paper author Quentin Stout's name.

  Fixed a few minor typographical problems.

  Updated INSTALL to explain the intended use of libavl.

  The PDF version of libavl is now generated with pdftex, instead of
  using dvipdfm.

  libavl now has a dedicated mailing list for reporting bugs:

PSPP 0.4.0.1 released

2007-08-27 Thread Ben Pfaff
GNU PSPP 0.4.0.1 is now available at ftp.gnu.org:
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/pspp/pspp-0.4.0.1.tar.gz

PSPP is a program for statistical analysis of sampled data. It
interprets commands in the SPSS language and produces tabular output
in ASCII, PostScript, or HTML format.

Compared to PSPP 0.4.0, only one change has been made in PSPP
0.4.0.1: the license has been upgraded from GPLv2 (or later) to
GPLv3 (or later).  For substantial improvements over PSPP 0.4.0,
stay tuned for PSPP 0.6.0, which should be released within the
next few months, or try PSPP from CVS for a preview.

GNU PSPP 0.6.0 released

2008-06-09 Thread Ben Pfaff
-implemented to obtain better
  results.  Support for the UNSELECTED, DIGITS, and TYPE
  subcommands has been added.

* For compatibility, PRINT now inserts a space at the beginning of
  every output line, even lines that would otherwise be blank,
  when OUTFILE is specified.  (The behavior of WRITE is
  unchanged.)

* For compatibility, PRINT EJECT now inserts the digit `1' at the
  beginning of each line that should begin a new page.

* For compatibility, WRITE now outputs the system-missing value as
  a field filled with spaces.  Binary formats are an exception.
  (The behavior of PRINT is unchanged.)

  Documentation:

* Input and output format descriptions have been rewritten.  They
  now precisely describe what is accepted on input and written on
  output.

* The descriptions of the PSPP system and portable file formats
  have been extensively revised and improved.

  For developers, the build system now requires Autoconf 2.60 and
  Automake 1.10.

pspp-0.6.1 released

2008-10-10 Thread Ben Pfaff
Version 0.6.1 of GNU PSPP, a program for statistical analysis of
sampled data, is now available.

This is a bug fix release.  The notable changes relative to 0.6.0 are
as follows:

  * Statistical bug fixes:

- Report correct standardized regression coefficients in linear
  regression output (bug #23567).

  * Bug fixes that affect PSPP and PSPPIRE:

- Avoid crash with pie charts (bug #24014).

- Don't append % to count totals (bug #24003).

- Don't crash on bad input (bug #24031).

- Don't crash if "end data." is not left aligned (bug #24115).

- Change default workspace value to 64 MB, to avoid unnecessary
  disk accesses on modern machines.

  * PSPPIRE bug fixes:

- Add ".sav" or ".por" suffix to filename when saving with Save_As
  (bug #23137).

- Make it possible to reopen the output window on Windows (bug
  #24033).

- A POSIX regular expression library is now included and used
  automatically if the host does not have one or has one that is
  inadequate.

  * Build fixes and changes:

- Work around bug in GSL that prevented build with recent GCC
  versions without manually adding -fgnu89-inline to CFLAGS.

- Also warn about missing prerequisites as we encounter them (bug
  #24445).

- Distribute necessary files to allow users working from the
  distributed tarball to configure with --enable-gui-tools.

- Append $(EXEEXT_FOR_BUILD) to output file name when building
  q2c, fixing build problems on Windows.

- GSL 1.8 or later is now required.

- Build errors with --enable-relocatable were fixed.

  * The German translations were removed, since native German speakers
found them too poor to be useful.

Here are the compressed sources:
  ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/pspp/pspp-0.6.1.tar.gz   (3.1MB)

2009-10-11 Thread Ben Pfaff

GNU PSPP 0.6.2 is now available.  Version 0.6.2 is a bug-fix
release for the PSPP 0.6 branch.

PSPP is a program for statistical analysis of sampled data.

Here are the compressed sources:
  http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/pspp/pspp-0.6.2.tar.gz   (3.3MB)

Here are the GPG detached signatures[*]:

[*] You can use either of the above signature files 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-0.6.2.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 2.64
  Automake 1.10.2
  Gnulib v0.0-2677-g8bd1168
  Libtool 2.2.6
  Gettext 0.17

Changes from 0.6.1 to 0.6.2:

  * New translations:

- Dutch, thanks to Harry Thijssen.

- Brazilian Portuguese, thanks to Michel Boaventura.

Thanks for translations are also due to the coordinators at
translationproject.org.

  * Statistical bug fixes:

- REGRESSION: Report correct standard error of the estimate (bug
  #25677).

- T-TEST: Report correct significance of paired sample T-test in
  the common case (bug #26936) and corner cases.  Thanks to Mike
  Griffiths and Matej Cepl for reporting these bugs.

  * Build fixes and changes:

- Fix build with GTK+ 2.17.4 and later.

- Make running "make" after running "configure" with different
  settings reliably rebuild version.c.

- Cygwin and MinGW build fixes.

- Fixes for building with recent gnulib.

- The Makefile now honors two new variables, PSPP_LDFLAGS and
  PSPPIRE_LDFLAGS, that affect linking of the PSPP and PSPPIRE
  binaries, respectively.  This makes building easier for some
  packagers.

- Fixes for "configure --enable-relocatable" (bug #25508).

  * Data file bug fixes and changes:

- Fix reading text data files that contain a mix of white space
  and commas.  Now "a ,b" is treated as two fields containing "a"
  and "b"; previously it was treated as three, with an empty field
  in the middle.

- Fix writing corrupted .sav files on Windows.

- Fix writing variable labels longer than 252 bytes to save files.
  Thanks to Robert Westlund for reporting this bug.

- Fix writing corrupted .por files (bug #26034).

- Fix reading .por files whose initial lines are not padded out
  with spaces as expected.

- PSPP will no longer issue warnings about some .sav file records
  or values that it does not understand.  These warnings were
  harmless, but needlessly alarmed some users.

- Fix crash reading empty string fields from PostgreSQL databases.

  * Bug fixes that affect PSPP and PSPPIRE:

- Users may now control precision of output statistics.  Instead
  of hard coding the width and decimals of output numbers, respect
  the default format in most instances.  Counts are now normally
  displayed with the format of the weight variable, if any.

- Fix crash when an INSERT command specifies the name of a file
  that does not exist (bug #24569).

- Fix crash when CROSSTABS specifies a long-string variable (bugs
  #24557 and #26131).

- Fix crash drawing pie charts with many segments.

- Fix crash when NUMERIC specifies an invalid format.

  * PSPPIRE bug fixes and changes:

- On Windows, write the output file to the user's home directory
  instead of the current directory, to better match user
  expectations.

- Some data editor fixes.

  * Documentation:

    - Fix typo in BINOMIAL section of user manual (bug #25892).

NEWS

Changes from 0.6.2 to 0.8.0:

 * New commands:

   - ADD FILES
   - CORRELATIONS
   - DATAFILE ATTRIBUTES
   - DATASET ACTIVATE
   - DATASET CLOSE
   - DATASET COPY
   - DATASET DECLARE
   - DATASET DISPLAY
   - DATASET NAME
   - LOGISTIC REGRESSION
   - MATCH FILES
   - MEANS
   - MRSETS
   - PRESERVE and RESTORE
   - QUICK CLUSTER
   - RELIABILITY
   - ROC
   - SAVE TRANSLATE to CSV and tab-delimited files
   - UPDATE
   - VARIABLE ATTRIBUTES

 * Changes to existing commands:

   - AUTORECODE has a new GROUP subcommand.

   - CROSSTABS has been re-implemented to fix numerous bugs.

   - EXAMINE: /MISSING=LISTWISE is now the default.

   - DO REPEAT command has been reimplemented.  Now, when DO REPEAT
 contains an INCLUDE or INSERT command, substitutions are not
 applied to the included file.
  
   - FILE HANDLE has a new ENDS subcommand to select CR or CRLF new-lines.

   - HOST has been updated to use more modern syntax.

   - Most commands that work with data files now support a new
 ENCODING subcommand.

   - MISSING VALUES can now assign missing values to long string
 variables.

   - ONEWAY: the POSTHOC subcommand is now implemented.

   - The following new subcommands to NPAR TESTS have been implemented:
 COCHRAN, FRIEDMAN, JONCKHEERE-TERPSTRA, KENDALL, KRUSKAL-WALLIS, 
MANN-WHITNEY, 
 MCNEMAR, SIGN, WILCOXON, and RUNS

   - SET and SHOW no longer have ENDCMD, NULLINE, PROMPT, CPROMPT, and
 DPROMPT subcommands.  The defaults are now fixed values.

   - SHOW now has a JOURNAL subcommand, to show the location of the
 journal file.

   - VALUE LABELS can now assign value labels to long string
 variables.

 * Other language changes:

   - The new DATASET commands replace the "scratch file" PSPP
 extension, which is no longer supported.

   - Strings may now include arbitrary Unicode code points specified
 in hexadecimal, using the syntax U''.  For example, Unicode
 code point U+1D11E, the musical G clef character, may be
 expressed as U'1D11E'.

 See the "Tokens" section in the PSPP manual for more information.

   - In previous versions of PSPP, in a string expressed in
 hexadecimal with X'hh' syntax, the hexadecimal digits expressed
 bytes in the locale encoding.  In this version of PSPP, X'hh'
 syntax always expresses bytes in UTF-8 encoding.

 See the "Tokens" section in the PSPP manual for more information.

 * PSPPIRE graphical user interface improvements:

   - Added support for non-ASCII characters in strings, labels and
 variable names.

   - A "Split Window" function is available, which makes it easier to
 see different parts of a large data file.

   - Data files can now be opened by specifing their name as the first
 argument.  This means that on a properly configured desktop, double
 clicking on an icon will open the file.

   - Foreign formats, such as Gnumeric, OpenDocument and CSV can be imported
 via using an "intelligent" application assistant dialog.

 * Output changes:

   - The new "cairo" output driver supports output in PostScript, PDF,
 and SVG formats.  Its functionality is a superset of that of the
 "postscript" driver, which has been removed.  You must have Cairo
 and Pango installed to build the "cairo" driver.

   - Charts are now produced with Cairo and Pango, instead of libplot.
 Without them, the new graphing features will not work.  If you do
 not have Cairo and Pango installed, you must run `configure' with
 --without-cairo.

   - The plain text output driver now properly supports multibyte UTF-8
 characters, including double-width characters and combining
 accents.

   - Output to OpenDocument format is now supported.

   - The HTML output is much improved.

 * The "pspp" program has a new option --batch (or -b) that selects
   "batch" syntax mode.  In previous versions of PSPP this syntax mode
   was the default.  Now a new "auto" syntax mode is the default.  In
   "auto" mode, PSPP interprets most syntax files correctly regar

   - Syntax windows now parse syntax in "auto" mode, which in practice
 should mean that both "batch" and "interactive" syntax now works,
 instead of just "interactive" syntax.

   - The variable pane of data windows now include a Role column.

 * Notable bug fixes:

   - System files written by IBM SPSS 21 are now read without warnings.

   - System files written by "VOXCO INTERVIEWER 4.3" are now read
 without warnings.

   - PSPPIRE should now more gracefully handle syntax files that contain
 errors.

  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.

 pick an encoding for reading a system file that does not identify
 its own encoding

   - SYSFILE INFO now accepts an ENCODING subcommand to specify the
 character encoding of string data in the system file.

   - Variable labels over 255 bytes long are now accepted without
 truncation (bug #41863).

   - System files that contain duplicate variable names may now be
 read successfully (bug #41475).

 introduced in 0.8.2.)

   - CROSSTABS now correctly computes all of the measures that it
 offers.  Some measures have been removed because they were not
 computed correctly.

   - The NPAR TESTS calculation of significance for the RUNS
 subcommand has been corrected.

   - Planned comparisons in ONEWAY ANOVA now correctly handle negative
 T-values.

   - Conformance fixes to Open Document output format.

pspp-0.8.5 released [stable]

2015-06-20 Thread Ben Pfaff
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-0.8.5.tar.gz
  ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/pspp/pspp-0.8.5.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-0.8.5.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.

Changes from 0.8.4 to 0.8.5:

 * The FREQUENCIES and CROSSTABS commands can now generate barcharts.

 * The FACTOR command can now perform PROMAX rotations.

 * SPSS/PC+ system files are now supported on GET and other commands
   that read SPSS system files.  The pspp-convert program can now read
   SPSS/PC+ system files.  Writing the obsolete SPSS/PC+ system file
   format is not supported.

 * SYSFILE INFO can now read SPSS/PC+ system files and SPSS portable
   files.

 * FREQUENCIES: A bug was fixed where an assertion failure occured
   when an empty dataset was presented.

 * The GRAPH command is now available.  Initially it supports
   scatterplots and histograms.

 * The RND operator in expressions now supports additional operands
   for rounding to values other than integers and to indicate a level
   of rounding fuzz.  The default rounding fuzz may now be controlled
   and displayed with SET FUZZBITS and SHOW FUZZBITS, respectively.

pspp-0.10.0 released [stable]

2016-03-26 Thread Ben Pfaff
I'm very pleased to announce the release of a new version of GNU PSPP.

free replacement for the proprietary program SPSS.

  ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/pspp/pspp-0.10.0.tar.gz.sig

[*] 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

then run this command to import it:

  gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys C6648E90

and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.

Changes from 0.8.5 to 0.10.0:

 * The QUICK CLUSTER command has a  /PRINT subcommand which shows
   the initial cluster centres and the final cluster membership of
   each case.  The clustering algorithm has also been updated, so
   as to produce better separated clusters.

 * A Russian localisation has been contributed.

 * The GRAPH command now has a /BAR subcommand to draw barcharts.

 * If the DECIMAL character is set to COMMA then the ',' character
   will not be treated as a separator by DATA LIST.

 * The graphical user interface (psppire) has been changed as follows:

   - It now uses Gtk+ version 3 instead of version 2.  Accordingly, it has a 
 somewhat different look and feel.

   - There is now a Graphs menu to access the GRAPH command.

   - The status of dialog box widgets are now preserved between calls
 to the same dialog box for the same dataset.

   - The dialog box for the Logistic Regression command will now
 infer that string variables or any varible with a "measure"
 of Nominal or Ordinal are to be treated as categorical variables
 and will generate syntax accordingly.

 * The pspp-convert utility can now decrypt encrypted syntax files.
   The encrypted syntax file format is unacceptably insecure, so to
   discourage its use PSPP and PSPPIRE do not directly read or write
   this format.

 * New commands:

   - SORT VARIABLES.

 * The following functions for transformation expressions are new:

   - REPLACE, for search-and-replace of one string with another.

   - STRUNC, to truncate a string and trim trailing spaces.

   - MEDIAN, to compute the median of its arguments.

   - The TRUNC function in expressions now supports additional arguments
 for truncating to values other than integers and to indicate a level
 of rounding fuzz.  The default rounding fuzz may now be controlled
 and displayed with SET FUZZBITS and SHOW FUZZBITS, respectively.

 * Bug fixes, including the following notable ones:

   - The correlation coefficient in the paired samples t-test
 procedure is now correctly calculated when presented with
 weighted data.

   - The ESCAPE subcommand has been removed from GET DATA /TYPE=TXT.
 For compatibility, the behavior that ESCAPE enabled is now the
 default and only supported behavior.

   - Rendering of the variable and data sheets in right-to-left locales
 now works properly.

   - The Mann-Whitney test, when run on a dataset containing values
 of the group variable, other than those defining the test groups,
 would incorrectly calculate the ranks.  This has been corrected.

 * The IMPORTCASES subcommand on GET DATA is now ignored, for
   compatibility.

pspp-1.0.0 released [stable]

2017-08-20 Thread Ben Pfaff
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.

PSPP has been in development, as part of the GNU project, since about
1996, although development has sometimes been very slow.  That entire
time, the version number has been less than 1.0.  Now I am increasing
it to 1.0 for several reasons.  First, I no longer feel that PSPP must
be "complete" before it can be 1.0; instead, I think that it only
needs to be useful.  Second, the common ways of numbering software
releases have drifted over the years, so that many projects now simply
increment the major version on each release, or use the year and month
of release as the version number.  Third, every time I make a release,
RMS asks me when 1.0 is coming ;-)

and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.

Changes from 1.2.0 to 1.4.0:

 * The file pspp-mode.el (the pspp-mode for Emacs) is no longer distributed
   with PSPP.  Instead, it can be installed directly in emacs and is available
   from https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/pspp-mode.html

 * The Find dialog box, when searching for numeric values, will match only
   to the precision of the variable's print format.  This avoids behaviour
   which is suprising to some users.

 * PSPP now supports the SPSS viewer (.spv) format that SPSS 16 and later
   use to save the contents of its output editor:

   - PSPP and PSPPIRE can write output to .spv files.

   - The new utility pspp-output can convert .spv files to other formats.

   - The pspp-convert utility can now decrypt encrypted .spv files.  The
 encrypted viewer file format is unacceptably insecure, so to
 discourage its use PSPP and PSPPIRE do not directly read or write
 this format.

 * A bug where the Data|Select Cases|Random Sample menu would generate
   invalid syntax has been fixed.

 * FREQUENCIES will emit a warning if one or more weight values are missing.

 * Plain text output is no longer divided into pages, since it is now
   rarely printed on paper.

 * pspp-convert improvements:

   - New "-a", "-l", "--password-list" options to search for an
 encrypted file's password.

   - New "--keep" and "--drop" options to output only selected variables.

   - New "--recode", "--no-var-name", "--labels", "--print-formats",
 "--decimal", "--delimiter", and "--qualifier" options to control
 CSV output.

 * Improvements to SAVE DATA COLLECTION support for MDD files.

 * Bug fix for CVE-2018-20230.

 * The /RENAME subcommand in SAVE TRANSLATE et al. has been extended
   to support the syntax also accepted by other software.

 * The EXAMINE command will now perform the Shapiro-Wilk test when
   one or more plots are requested.

 * The REGRESSION command now supports the /STATISTICS=TOL option which
   outputs tolerance and variance inflation factor metrics for the data.

 * The QUICK CLUSTER command now supports the /SAVE option which can
   be used to save the cases' cluster membership and/or their distance
   from the cluster centre to the active file.

 * The MEANS command has been re-implemented.

 * The GUI now has a sub-dialog for post-hoc tests of the oneway
   anova test.

 * Gtk+3.22.0 or later must now be used when building.

 * GRAPH: Categorical barcharts displaying percentages now show the
   sub-category as a percentage of the primary category instead of the
   total.

 * The Syntax Window now has a Find function to perform simple text
   searching.

 * AUTORECODE:

   - The PRINT subcommand is now implemented.

   - Many bug fixes.

Either way, afterward, rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.

Changes from 1.6.0 to 1.6.1:

 * The SET command now supports LEADZERO for controlling output of a
   leading zero in F, COMMA, and DOT format.

 * Bug fixes and translation updates.




pspp-1.6.2 released [stable]

2022-07-02 Thread Ben Pfaff
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-1.6.2.tar.gz
  https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/pspp/pspp-1.6.2.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-1.6.2.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 
C2D1AB061656AAC54B5E975485199DE8C6648E90

or obtain the project members' keys directly from Savannah:

  wget -q -O- 
'https://savannah.gnu.org/project/memberlist-gpgkeys.php?group=pspp&download=1' 
| gpg --import -

Either way, afterward, rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.

Changes from 1.6.1 to 1.6.2:

 * Bug fixes.

The GNU project does not release official PSPP binaries.  For links to
locations where third parties offer binaries, please visit:
  http://www.gnu.org/software/pspp/get.html
It might take hours or days before binaries for a new release become
available.

Changes from 1.6.2-pre2 to 2.0.0:

 * The CTABLES command is now implemented.

 * FREQUENCIES now honors the LAYERED setting on SPLIT FILE.

 * AGGREGATE:

   - New aggregation functions CGT, CLT, CIN, and COUT.

   - Break variables are now optional.

 * ADD FILES, MATCH FILES, and UPDATE now allow string variables with
   the same name to have different widths.

 * CROSSTABS now calculates significance of Pearson and Spearman
   correlations in symmetric measures.

 * DISPLAY MACROS is now implemented.

 * SET SUMMARY is now implemented.

 * SHOW ENVIRONMENT is now implemented.

 * Removed the MODIFY VARS command, which is not in SPSS.

 * Building from a Git repository, which previously required GIMP, now
   requires rsvg-convert from librsvg2 instead.

 * The pspp-dump-sav program is no longer installed by default.

 * Improved the search options in the syntax editor.

 * Localisations for the ar (Arabic) and ta (Tamil) locales have been
   added.  Other translations have been updated.

 * Journaling is now enabled by default when PSPP or PSPPIRE is
   started interactively.  In PSPPIRE, use Edit|Options to override
   the default.
