0.4.0rc5 is now available from
http://footstool.stanford.edu/~blp/pspp-0.4.0rc5.tar.gz
This is a big change from rc4. Even if you tested rc4 and found
it worked well for you, it would still be appreciated if you
would also try rc5.
Changes for rc5:
- Adopted use of gnulib for portability. This is a big source
change, but the source tree was seriously not doing well on
anything but GNU/Linux. Anyone checking out the CVS tree
now will also have to get a copy of gnulib. See the updated
README.CVS for details.
- Importantly, does *not* append -ansi to GCC command line.
Using -ansi changes the behavior of header files
significantly. It causes __STRICT_ANSI__ to be defined, and
some headers interpret that as cause to e.g. not use `long
long' or __attribute__. The former example is bad when off_t
is supposed to be `long long', and the latter prevents
-Wformat from working.
- Got rid of unused test.
- Tested on GNU/Linux/i386 and Solaris/Sparc and fixed all
problems found.
- Updated to gettext 0.14.5.
- Fix a few minor bugs found during above changes.
- Updated INSTALL.
Changes for rc4:
- Update FSF address in COPYING.
- Eliminated dependency on libgmp by writing own base-30
conversion routine.
- Updated README.
- Added support for "author" field in portable files.
- Fixed parsing of scientific notation in F input format.
- Fixed apparent failure of command/sysfile-info test under Cygwin.
Changes for rc3:
- Fix bug in MATCH FILES that manifested on Mac OS X.
Changes for rc2:
- Distribute pspp-mode.el.
- Fix flip.c for Mac OS X, for real this time (?).
- Fix command/sysfile-info.sh test for Mac OS X.
Thanks to John Darrington, Marshall DeBerry, P.C.J.G. Brunier, and Dr
Eberhard W Lisse <address@hidden> for feedback on rc1, rc2, and rc3.
