+Changes from 0.7.3 to 0.7.7:
+
+ * 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 regardless
+ of their intended syntax mode.
+
+ See the "Syntax Variants" section in the PSPP manual for more
+ information.
+
+ * The "pspp" program has a new option --syntax-encoding that
+ specifies the encoding for syntax files listed on the command line,
+ as well as the default encoding for syntax files included with
+ INCLUDE or INSERT. The default is to accept the system locale
+ encoding, UTF-8, UTF-16, or UTF-32, automatically detecting which
+ one the system file uses.
+
+ See the documentation for the INSERT command in the PSPP manual for
+ more information.
+
+ * The INCLUDE and INSERT commands now support the ENCODING subcommand
+ to specify the encoding for the included syntax file.
+
+ * The plain text output driver now properly supports multibyte UTF-8
+ characters, including double-width characters and combining
+ accents.
+
+ * Strings may now include arbitrary Unicode code points specified in
+ hexadecimal, using the syntax U'hhhh'. 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.
+
+ * The DO REPEAT command has been reimplemented. The most prominent
+ change is that when a DO REPEAT block contains an INCLUDE or INSERT
+ command, substitutions are not applied to the included file.
+
+ See the "DO REPEAT" section in the PSPP manual for more information.
+
+ * NPAR TESTS now supports the /KRUSKAL-WALLIS and /RUNS subcommands.
+
+ * AUTORECODE now supports the /GROUP subcommand.
+
+ * The MRSETS command is now implemented.
+
+ * SAVE TRANSLATE is now implemented, with initial support for saving
+ data in comma-separated value and tab-delimited formats.
+
+ * The PRESERVE and RESTORE commands are now implemented.
+
+ * The HOST command has been updated to use more modern syntax.
+
+ * The SET and SHOW commands no longer support the ENDCMD, NULLINE,
+ PROMPT, CPROMPT, and DPROMPT subcommands. The defaults are now the
+ only supported values.
+
+Changes from 0.7.2 to 0.7.3:
+
+ * 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 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.
+
+Changes from 0.7.1 to 0.7.2:
+
+ * Updated Perl module interface.
+
+ * Value labels for long string variables are now supported.
+
+ * Missing values for long string variables are now supported.
+
+Changes from 0.7.0 to 0.7.1:
+
+ * Added a perl module to facilitate reading and writing of pspp system
+ files from perl programs.
+
+Changes from 0.6.2-pre6 to 0.7.0:
+
+ * Custom variable and data file attributes are now supported.
+ Commands VARIABLE ATTRIBUTE and DATAFILE ATTRIBUTE have been added
+ for setting and clear attributes. Support for attributes has also
+ been added to commands that read and write system files, such as
+ SAVE and GET, as well as to the DISPLAY command.
+
+ * Numererous improvements to the Graphical User Interface have
+ made. Notable improvements include:
+
+ - Non-Ascii characters in strings, labels and variable names are
+ now supported.
+
+ - 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.
+
+
+ * New statistical procedures:
+ - CORRELATIONS
+ - ROC
+ - RELIABILITY
+
+ NPAR TESTS now supports the WILCOXON and SIGN subcommands.
+
+ The CROSSTABS command has been completely re-implemented to fix numerous bugs.
+
+ * Three new commands to combine data files have been added: MATCH FILES,
+ UPDATE and ADD FILES.
+
+ * A tutorial chapter has been added to the user manual.
+
+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).
+
+Changes from 0.6.0 to 0.6.1:
+
+ * 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.
