See the end for copying conditions. Please send PSPP bug reports to bug-gnu-pspp@gnu.org. +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. + + * 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.
