Please send PSPP bug reports to bug-gnu-pspp@gnu.org. + +Changes from 0.8.1 to 0.8.1.1: -Changes after 0.8.0: + * Charts are now rendered with colours from the Tango palette instead + of fully saturated primaries. + + * PSPP can now read and write ZCOMPRESSED system files, a new format + variant that compresses data much more effectively than the + previous form of compression (which is still supported). + + * Missing values for long string variables are now read from and + written to system files in an SPSS-compatible fashion. + + (Earlier versions of PSPP that supported missing values for long + string variables wrote them to system files in an SPSS-incompatible + way. To fix the problem, read the system file with this version of + PSPP and then save a new copy of it.) + + * pspp-convert, a new standalone utility for converting SPSS system + and portable files to other formats, is now included. The initial + version is only capable of converting to comma-separated value + files.. + + * Build changes: + + - zlib is now a required dependency.
