-
-Changes since 0.8.5:
- * The graphical user interface uses Gtk+ version 3 instead of version 2.
- Accordingly, it has a somewhat different look and feel.
+Changes from 0.10.2 to 0.10.3:
+
+ * No changes yet.
+
+Changes from 0.10.1 to 0.10.2:
+
+ * CROSSTABS implements a new COUNT subcommand to round case or cell
+ weights.
+
+ * Help will be opened as HTML in default browser if yelp
+ is not available.
+
+ * When plotting scatterplots with only one dataset (the simple case)
+ the colour used for the dataset is now black. The previous default
+ from the Tango palette was too faint to see easily.
+
+ * The varible info dialog could previously only paste a single variable.
+ Now it can paste multiple variables.
+
+ * Bug fixes, including the following:
+
+ - T-test with independent samples GUI crashed with string
+ type variable as group variable.
+
+ - The variable info dialog showed the previous selected variable
+ superimposed with the currently selected one.
+
+ - The GLM command did not properly deal with missing values. This
+ has been fixed.
+
+Changes from 0.10.0 to 0.10.1:
+
+ * Bug fixes, including the following:
+
+ - A bug where certain dialog boxes could not be properly populated
+ has been fixed.
+
+ - Various commands have been hardened against errors when called
+ with invalid syntax.
+
+ * Translation updates. Thanks to our translators!
+
+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:
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.
+
Changes from 0.8.4 to 0.8.5:
* The FREQUENCIES and CROSSTABS commands can now generate barcharts.
