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 1.5.3: + + * 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. + + * 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. + + * 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. @@ -14,16 +102,17 @@ Changes from 1.2.0 to 1.3.0: * Plain text output is no longer divided into pages, since it is now rarely printed on paper. - * pspp-convert: - - - New support to decrypt encrypted viewer (SPV) files.
