Please send PSPP bug reports to bug-gnu-pspp@gnu.org. -Changes from 1.2.0 to 1.3.0: +Changes from 1.4.1 to 1.6.0: + + * In the Kruskal-Wallis test, a misleading result could occur + if the lower bound specified by the user was in fact higher + than the upper bound specified. This has been fixed. + + * The DEFINE, MATRIX, MCONVERT, and MATRIX DATA commands are now + implemented. + + * An error in the displayed signficance of oneway anova + contrasts tests has been corrected. + + * Added Drag-N-Drop in output view. + + * The Explore GUI dialog supports the "Plots" subdialog. Boxplots, Q-Q Plots + and Spreadlevel plots are now also available via the GUI. + + * The graphical user interface for importing spreadsheets has been improved. + The new interface provides the user with a preview of the data to be imported + and interactive methods to select the desired ranges. + + * The user manual, in its Info and HTML versions, now includes + graphical output examples and screenshots. + + * New command SHOW SYSTEM to easily print system information useful + in bug reports. + + * Build changes: + + - Perl is no longer required to build. + + - Build now requires Python 3.4 or later. (Building PSPP 1.4.0 + also required Python, but it wasn't properly documented at the + time.) + + - The Cairo and Pango libraries are now required. + + - gettext 0.20 or later is now required. + + - gtksourceview 4.x is now supported (3.x also remains supported). + + * Output improvements: + + - New drivers for output to TeX source files and to PNG files. + + - Table output styles may now be set with the new option + --table-look and the new SET TLOOK command. + + - New driver option "trim" to remove empty space from PDF, + PostScript, SVG, and PNG output files. + + - The PDF output driver now adds an outline to allow PDF viewers to display + as a "table of contents" for the file. + + - The HTML output driver has a new option "bare". + + * New features in pspp-output: + + - New --table-look and --nth-commands options. + + - New get-table-look and convert-table-look commands. + +Changes from 1.4.0 to 1.4.1: + + * Bug fixes. + + * Translation updates. + + * HTML output is now HTML5 instead of HTML4.0 Transitional. + + * The HOST command has been reimplemented. It now supports TIMELIMIT. + +Changes from 1.2.0 to 1.4.0: + + * The file pspp-mode.el (the pspp-mode for Emacs) is no longer distributed + with PSPP. Instead, it can be installed directly in emacs and is available + from https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/pspp-mode.html + + * 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 surprising 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. @@ -30,16 +137,24 @@ Changes from 1.2.0 to 1.3.0: * The MEANS command has been re-implemented. - * A bug where the GUI would crash when T-TEST was executed whilst - a filter was set has been fixed. - * 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. + Changes from 1.0.1 to 1.2.0: * New experimental command SAVE DATA COLLECTION to save MDD files. @@ -162,7 +277,7 @@ Changes from 0.8.5 to 0.10.0: * The graphical user interface (psppire) has been changed as follows: - - It now uses Gtk+ version 3 instead of version 2.
