Please send PSPP bug reports to bug-gnu-pspp@gnu.org. - -Changes since 0.8.4: - * FREQUENCIES: A bug was fixed where an assertion failure occured +Changes since 1.2.0: + + * 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. + + * Improvements to SAVE DATA COLLECTION support for MDD files. + + * Bug fix for CVE-2018-20230. + +Changes from 1.0.1 to 1.2.0: + + * New experimental command SAVE DATA COLLECTION to save MDD files. + + * MTIME and YMDHMS variable formats now supported. + + * Build changes: + + - zlib is now a required dependency. (Previously it was optional.) + + - Gtk+3.18.0 or later must now be used when building. + + - The code implementing the sheet rendering has been removed. Instead we + use a third party library: spread-sheet-widget. + + * The "NOMISSING" keyword when generating syntax for piecharts in the + frequencies command was omitted. This has been corrected. + +Changes from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1: + + * Bug fixes, including fixes for CVE-2017-12958, CVE-2017-12959, + CVE-2017-12960, and CVE-2017-12961. + +Changes from 0.11.0 to 1.0.0: + + * Translation updates. + +Changes from 0.10.2 to 0.11.0: + + * The REGRESSION command now has a /ORIGIN subcommand to perform + regression through the origin. + + * The FACTOR command can now analyse matrix files prepared with MATRIX DATA. + + * The FACTOR command can now print the anti-image matrices. + + * The MATRIX DATA command has been added. + + * Some inappropriate properties in selection dialogs have been corrected. + + * A bug which could cause the HTML driver to go into a tight loop + has been fixed. + + * An error in the FREQUENCIES procedure, where the word "Mean" was + printed when "Variance" was appropriate has been fixed. + + * The ncurses library is no longer required or used. + + * A bug where the Mann-Whitney test would give misleading results + if run on multiple variables and MISSING=ANALAYSIS was specified + has been fixed. + + * Gtk+3.14.5 or later must now be used when building. + + * Graphical user interface changes: + + ** There is a new menu: Edit|Options + + ** The Non Parametric Statistics Menu has a new item: "K Independent Samples". + + ** Dialog boxes can now be canceled using the key. + + * The AUTORECODE command now accepts an optional / before INTO. + + * The short form of the VECTOR command can now create string variables. + + * Bug fixes, including fixes for CVE-2017-10791 and CVE-2017-10792. + +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: + + - 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. + + * The FACTOR command can now perform PROMAX rotations. + + * SPSS/PC+ system files are now supported on GET and other commands + that read SPSS system files. The pspp-convert program can now read + SPSS/PC+ system files. Writing the obsolete SPSS/PC+ system file + format is not supported. + + * SYSFILE INFO can now read SPSS/PC+ system files and SPSS portable + files. + + * FREQUENCIES: A bug was fixed where an assertion failure occurred when an empty dataset was presented. * The GRAPH command is now available. Initially it supports scatterplots and histograms. + * The RND operator in expressions now supports additional operands + for rounding 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. + Changes from 0.8.3 to 0.8.4: * Formatting of SYSFILE INFO output was made easier to read. @@ -31,6 +237,9 @@ Changes from 0.8.3 to 0.8.4: - Planned comparisons in ONEWAY ANOVA now correctly handle negative T-values. + - The COUNT command now correctly treats missing values as + documented. + - Conformance fixes to Open Document output format.
