[Gretl-devel] current CVS changes

[Allin Cottrell]

As I try to get 1.6.0 ready, I'm also keeping an eye on the 
changes that will come with 1.6.1, in particular a big change in 
the way "genr" works internally.

With this in mind, I've recently changed a few things 
pre-emptively, so there's not so much to be altered after the 
1.6.0 release.  Probably the most relevant change to date is 
that, for random filling of matrices you now use

muniform(rows, cols)
mnormal(rows, cols)

The point is that under the new scheme these functions, which 
return matrices, will have to be distinct from normal() and 
uniform(), which return series.  This is because genr will be 
more flexible with regard to the handling of variant types, 
on which more later...

Allin.
