Please send PSPP bug reports to bug-gnu-pspp@gnu.org.
Changes from 1.2.0 to 1.3.0:
+ * 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: New "-a", "-l", "--password-list" options to search
- for an encrypted file's password.
+ * 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 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.
+
