I’m very pleased to announce the release of a new version of GNU PSPP.  PSPP is a program for statistical analysis of sampled data.  It is a free replacement for the proprietary program SPSS.

Changes from 1.6.2 to 2.0.0-pre2:

  • The CTABLES command is now implemented.
  • FREQUENCIES now honors the LAYERED setting on SPLIT FILE.
  • AGGREGATE:
    • New aggregation functions CGT, CLT, CIN, and COUT.
    • Break variables are now optional.
  • ADD FILES, MATCH FILES, and UPDATE now allow string variables with the same name to have different widths.
  • CROSSTABS now calculates significance of Pearson and Spearman correlations in symmetric measures.
  • DISPLAY MACROS is now implemented.
  • SET SUMMARY is now implemented.
  • SHOW ENVIRONMENT is now implemented.
  • Removed the MODIFY VARS command, which is not in SPSS.
  • Building from a Git repository, which previously required GIMP, now requires rsvg-convert from librsvg2 instead.
  • The pspp-dump-sav program is no longer installed by default.
  • Improved the search options in the syntax editor.
  • Localisations for the ar (Arabic) and ta (Tamil) locales have been added.
  • Journaling is now enabled by default when PSPP or PSPPIRE is started interactively.  In PSPPIRE, use Edit|Options to override the default.

Please send PSPP bug reports to bug-gnu-pspp@gnu.org.
