+ * 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.
+
+ * 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.
