-Changes from 0.7.3 to 0.7.7:
+Changes from 0.6.2 to 0.7.7:
- * The QUICK CLUSTER command is now implemented.
+ * New commands:
- * The "pspp" program has a new option --batch (or -b) that selects
- "batch" syntax mode. In previous versions of PSPP this syntax mode
- was the default. Now a new "auto" syntax mode is the default. In
- "auto" mode, PSPP interprets most syntax files correctly regardless
- of their intended syntax mode.
-
- See the "Syntax Variants" section in the PSPP manual for more
- information.
-
- * The "pspp" program has a new option --syntax-encoding that
- specifies the encoding for syntax files listed on the command line,
- as well as the default encoding for syntax files included with
- INCLUDE or INSERT. The default is to accept the system locale
- encoding, UTF-8, UTF-16, or UTF-32, automatically detecting which
- one the system file uses.
-
- See the documentation for the INSERT command in the PSPP manual for
- more information.
-
- * The INCLUDE and INSERT commands now support the ENCODING subcommand
- to specify the encoding for the included syntax file.
-
- * The plain text output driver now properly supports multibyte UTF-8
- characters, including double-width characters and combining
- accents.
-
- * Strings may now include arbitrary Unicode code points specified in
- hexadecimal, using the syntax U'hhhh'. For example, Unicode code
- point U+1D11E, the musical G clef character, may be expressed as
- U'1D11E'.
+ - ADD FILES
+ - CORRELATIONS
+ - DATAFILE ATTRIBUTES
+ - DATASET ACTIVATE
+ - DATASET CLOSE
+ - DATASET COPY
+ - DATASET DECLARE
+ - DATASET DISPLAY
+ - DATASET NAME
+ - MATCH FILES
+ - MRSETS
+ - PRESERVE and RESTORE
+ - QUICK CLUSTER
+ - RELIABILITY
+ - ROC
+ - SAVE TRANSLATE to CSV and tab-delimited files
+ - UPDATE
+ - VARIABLE ATTRIBUTES
- See the "Tokens" section in the PSPP manual for more information.
+ * Changes to existing commands:
- * In previous versions of PSPP, in a string expressed in hexadecimal
- with X'hh' syntax, the hexadecimal digits expressed bytes in the
- locale encoding. In this version of PSPP, X'hh' syntax always
- expresses bytes in UTF-8 encoding.
+ - AUTORECODE has a new GROUP subcommand.
- See the "Tokens" section in the PSPP manual for more information.
+ - CROSSTABS has been re-implemented to fix numerous bugs.
- * The DO REPEAT command has been reimplemented. The most prominent
- change is that when a DO REPEAT block contains an INCLUDE or INSERT
- command, substitutions are not applied to the included file.
+ - DO REPEAT command has been reimplemented. Now, when DO REPEAT
+ contains an INCLUDE or INSERT command, substitutions are not
+ applied to the included file.
- See the "DO REPEAT" section in the PSPP manual for more information.
+ - HOST has been updated to use more modern syntax.
- * NPAR TESTS now supports the /KRUSKAL-WALLIS and /RUNS subcommands.
+ - INCLUDE and INSERT have a new ENCODING subcommand.
- * AUTORECODE now supports the /GROUP subcommand.
+ - MISSING VALUES can now assign missing values to long string
+ variables.
- * The MRSETS command is now implemented.
+ - NPAR TESTS has new KRUSKAL-WALLIS, SIGN, WILCOXON, and RUNS
+ subcommands.
- * SAVE TRANSLATE is now implemented, with initial support for saving
- data in comma-separated value and tab-delimited formats.
+ - SET and SHOW no longer have ENDCMD, NULLINE, PROMPT, CPROMPT, and
+ DPROMPT subcommands. The defaults are now fixed values.
- * The PRESERVE and RESTORE commands are now implemented.
+ - VALUE LABELS can now assign value labels to long string
+ variables.
- * The HOST command has been updated to use more modern syntax.
+ * Other language changes:
- * The SET and SHOW commands no longer support the ENDCMD, NULLINE,
- PROMPT, CPROMPT, and DPROMPT subcommands. The defaults are now the
- only supported values.
+ - The new DATASET commands replace the "scratch file" PSPP
+ extension, which is no longer supported.
- * The dataset commands DATASET ACTIVATE, DATASET DECLARE, DATASET
- CLOSE, DATASET COPY, DATASET NAME, DATASET DISPLAY are now
- implemented. These commands replace the "scratch file" PSPP
- extension, which is no longer supported.
+ - Strings may now include arbitrary Unicode code points specified
+ in hexadecimal, using the syntax U'hhhh'. For example, Unicode
+ code point U+1D11E, the musical G clef character, may be
+ expressed as U'1D11E'.
-Changes from 0.7.2 to 0.7.3:
+ See the "Tokens" section in the PSPP manual for more information.
- * Charts are now produced with Cairo and Pango, instead of libplot.
- Without them, the new graphing features will not work. If you do
- not have Cairo and Pango installed, you must run `configure' with
- --without-cairo.
+ - In previous versions of PSPP, in a string expressed in
+ hexadecimal with X'hh' syntax, the hexadecimal digits expressed
+ bytes in the locale encoding. In this version of PSPP, X'hh'
+ syntax always expresses bytes in UTF-8 encoding.
- * The new "cairo" output driver supports output in PostScript, PDF,
- and SVG formats. Its functionality is a superset of that of the
- "postscript" driver, which has been removed. You must have Cairo
- and Pango installed to build the "cairo" driver.
+ See the "Tokens" section in the PSPP manual for more information.
-Changes from 0.7.1 to 0.7.2:
+ * PSPPIRE graphical user interface improvements:
- * Updated Perl module interface.
+ - Added support for non-ASCII characters in strings, labels and
+ variable names.
- * Value labels for long string variables are now supported.
+ - A "Split Window" function is available, which makes it easier to
+ see different parts of a large data file.
- * Missing values for long string variables are now supported.
+ - Data files can now be opened by specifing their name as the first
+ argument. This means that on a properly configured desktop, double
+ clicking on an icon will open the file.
-Changes from 0.7.0 to 0.7.1:
+ * Output changes:
- * Added a perl module to facilitate reading and writing of pspp system
- files from perl programs.
+ - The new "cairo" output driver supports output in PostScript, PDF,
+ and SVG formats. Its functionality is a superset of that of the
+ "postscript" driver, which has been removed. You must have Cairo
+ and Pango installed to build the "cairo" driver.
-Changes from 0.6.2-pre6 to 0.7.0:
+ - Charts are now produced with Cairo and Pango, instead of libplot.
+ Without them, the new graphing features will not work. If you do
+ not have Cairo and Pango installed, you must run `configure' with
+ --without-cairo.
- * Custom variable and data file attributes are now supported.
- Commands VARIABLE ATTRIBUTE and DATAFILE ATTRIBUTE have been added
- for setting and clear attributes. Support for attributes has also
- been added to commands that read and write system files, such as
- SAVE and GET, as well as to the DISPLAY command.
+ - The plain text output driver now properly supports multibyte UTF-8
+ characters, including double-width characters and combining
+ accents.
- * Numererous improvements to the Graphical User Interface have
- made. Notable improvements include:
-
- - Non-Ascii characters in strings, labels and variable names are
- now supported.
-
- - A "Split Window" function is available, which makes it easier to
- see different parts of a large data file.
-

- clicking on an icon will open the file.

-
- * New statistical procedures:
- - CORRELATIONS
- - ROC
- - RELIABILITY

+ "batch" syntax mode. In previous versions of PSPP this syntax mode
+ was the default. Now a new "auto" syntax mode is the default. In

+ of their intended syntax mode.
- NPAR TESTS now supports the WILCOXON and SIGN subcommands.
+ See the "Syntax Variants" section in the PSPP manual for more

- The CROSSTABS command has been completely re-implemented to fix numerous bugs.
+ * The "pspp" program has a new option --syntax-encoding that
+ specifies the encoding for syntax files listed on the command line,
+ as well as the default encoding for syntax files included with
+ INCLUDE or INSERT. The default is to accept the system locale
+ encoding, UTF-8, UTF-16, or UTF-32, automatically detecting which
+ one the system file uses.
- * Three new commands to combine data files have been added: MATCH FILES,
- UPDATE and ADD FILES.
+ See the documentation for the INSERT command in the PSPP manual for
+ more information.
