PSPP 0.10.5-pre3 released

I release PSPP 0.10.5-pre3. It should be available at https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/pspp/pspp-0.10.5-pre3.tar.gz soon. This release is primarily to get the bug fixes for CVE-2017-10791 and CVE-2017-10792 into a tarball for folks who find tarballs easier to deal with.

Recent versions of SPSS added new formats MTIME and YMDHMS. Would anyone who has SPSS mind making one or two .sav files that include variables with these formats, along with a description of the variables and their types (e.g. DISPLAY DICTIONARY)? Then I'll add support to PSPP. Thanks, Ben. __
