- version update to 2025a
* kalman filter: fixes for variance of smoothed disturbances
and some documentation updates
* "meantest" and "vartest" commands: support more options and
expand their documentation
* "system" command, iterated variants: allow more iterations
(now 250) before declaring non-convergence
* aggregate() function; speed improvement in the matrix case
* hyp2f1 function: enhance the documentation
* document the $pmanteau accessor for VARs
* GUI, preferences dialog: add a tab specifically for plot-
related settings
* Fix bug: potential crash in the GUI when trying to forecast
from an ARIMA model without a constant
* Fix bug: "dataset addobs n" with panel data (and without the
*-panel-time option) was not respecting the documented
policy that 'n' refers to the number of cross-sectional
units to be added to the dataset
* Fix bug: "mpols" was not respecting the --simple-print
option, now it does
* Fix bug: the "join" command could overwrite some existing
data with missing values (contrary to the documentation) in
some cases
* Fix bug: the RESET test in the GUI was broken when the
"show all variants" option was selected (since 2024c)
* Function packaging: fix to allow a plot-checker function to
be private; documentation updates
* markdown parser: improve extraction of URLs
* minor code adjustments to comply with the C23 standard
* update sourceforge URLs to use https

Mon Mar 17 09:35:06 UTC 2025 - Atri Bhattacharya <badshah400@gmail.com>
- Update to version 2024d:
* "append" command: make the help text more explicit
* "pca" command: make a $result bundle available
* "square" command and square() function: don't skip dummy
variables when computing cross-products
* xmax() and xmin() functions; consolidate with max, min but
retain the "x" variants as aliases until further notice
* Fix possible incorrect behavior of "smpl" in some special
cases (inside a function, when the dataset is sub-sampled at
the caller level)
* nelem() function: ensure that it returns the number of bytes
in a string argument, as per the documentation
* Avoid false positives in detecting markdown in help text for
function packages
* dbnomics addon: don't fail on database IDs that contain '@'
(as some OECD identifiers now do)
* gretl_edit: use a scrollable window when displaying stderr
output, so it doesn't get truncated
* When adding a 1x1 matrix to a bundle via defbundle() or _()
don't automatically convert it to a scalar
* Tweaks for handling of empty matrices plus a little more
documentation
* GUI: support Ctrl + mouse-wheel to resize text
* GUI: fixes for breakage when resizing plots in some cases
* Documentation for addons: avoid collision with hyperref

dataset that is already subject to random resampling

list members, as in "list.vname(-1)"
