Re: GNU PSPP 0.6.2-pre6 now available

[John Darrington]

If I'm not wrong, then all of these problems a) also exist in 0.6.1; and b) 
have been 
fixed in 0.7.x.

As I understand it, the purpose of this release is to fix serious bugs in 0.6.1 
where 
possible.  I think that the issues you have raised are missing features rather 
than
bugs.  So it's not appropriate to backport the patches from master.

Ultimately, this of course is Ben's decision.

     Thank you John. It works with the tarball.
     
     Now I've found three new issues.
     
     The first one is relative with encoding, so I think that it can't be
     fixed. If I use
     words with non-ascii chars on psppire, everything goes fine. But when this
     words are
     used on variable sheet, the non-ascii chars appears with problem. Take a
     look at this
     picture: http://www.cecaps.ufmg.br/pspp/files/problem.png.
     
     The type should be "Num??rico", which is the Portuguese word to "Numeric".
     I think that
     the best solution, at least for now, is to remove the non-ascii chars from
     some words.
     
     The second issue is that I can't remove a variable. If I right click on
     the variable line at
     the variable view, nothing happens.
     
     The last issue is that if I call "psppire.exe some_file.sav", psppire
     doesn't open it. AFAIR,
     this was fixed, but only on master branch. The fix could be implemented on
     stable to?
