Version 0.2.2 changes since 0.2.1:

  Bugs fixed:

    * Fix behavior of PRINT SPACE for negative arguments.

    * Fix reading some unusual system files.

    * Fix LIST problems with very long variables.  Thanks to Hankin
      <hankin@dunno.com> for this bug report.

    * Fix problems with some string format specifiers.

    * Fix use of $CASENUM in expressions.  Thanks to Dirk Melcher
      <BZN-mdksh@t-online.de> for reporting this bug.

    * Additional DATA LIST FREE and DATA LIST LIST fixes.  Thanks to
      Hankin <hankin@dunno.com> again on this one.

    * Sometimes you may encounter a PSPP script that has to be
      interpreted in interactive mode.  Now you can use the -i flag to
      do this.

    * Warnings for egcs 1.1.1 cleaned up.  (However you'll get lots of
      `unused variable' warnings under gcc 2.7.2.3, fixing this will
      take more effort.)

    * Tests fixed.

    * The files in gmp need the internationalization directory in
      their include path.  Thanks to OKUJI Yoshinori
      <okuji@kuicr.kyoto-u.ac.jp> for pointing this out.

Version 0.2.1 changes since 0.2.0:
  
  Bugs fixed:

    * Remember to include examples/ directory in distribution :-)

    * Fixed gmp compile problems for some non-i386 architectures.
      Thanks to Hans Olav Eggestad <olav@jordforsk.nlh.no> and others
      for reporting this.

    * DATA LIST FREE and DATA LIST LIST parsing of input files is now
      matches the documented behavior exactly, and error messages are
      more helpful.  Thanks to Mark H. Wood <mwood@IUPUI.Edu>.
