Please send PSPP bug reports to bug-gnu-pspp@gnu.org. -Changes since 0.8.4: +Changes from 0.8.5 to 0.9.0: + + * 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. + + * Bug fixes, including the following notable ones: + + - The correlation coefficient in the paired samples t-test + procedure is now correctly calculated when presented with + weighted data. + + - The ESCAPE subcommand has been removed from GET DATA /TYPE=TXT. + 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.
