Prior Updates
July, 2010
Fix to allow the @subextract funtion to assign scalars into symmetric matrices. Adjustment to DF correction in long-run variance calculations with pre-whitening and a constant for symmertric kernels. Fix for long-run variance calculations to allow the "none" kernel setting. Fixes to graph templates. Extend the @elem function to allow @first and @last offset expressions. Fix equation string representation in tobit specifications. Fix invalid error message for the ordered estimator when there are no regressors other than the constant. Fix for a crash that occured when copying from one instance of EViews to another. Fix for a crash when importing from an invalid Excel sheet name. Fix to allow using of AUTOMDL in X12. Fix for a bug that incorrectly caused an Include statement to go to the EViews data directory rather than the running program directory. Fix for a strange error message that could occur when issusing certain commands regarding sample objects. Fix to the VAR lag length selection/test that could occasionally give a negative number error. Fix to allow Binary estimation to correctly calculated standardised residuals. Fix for Model stochastic simulation with coefficient uncertainty.
June, 2010
Miscellaneous other fixes. Fix so that "NAlabel" setting in Dated Data Tables is no longer ignored. Improvement to the Esc key in programs. Fix to allow long comments in programs. Fix for instrument summary in equations estimated by LIML. Fix for a bug that caused ordered estimation to stop working. Fix for bug that would cause inline division of a database series to fail. Fix for crash that occured when making derivatives from a linear equation estimated by list in panel workfiles. Fix for bug that caused system representations view to show the wrong values for coefficients.
May, 2010
Fix for a bug in the previous patch (May 11) that caused a number of statistical functions to issue erroneous error messages. Fix for a bug that would prevent the Chow and Quandt-Andrews tests from working in equations specified entirely from a group. Add new @datapath and @linepath functions. Increased the consistency in the way relative paths are treated in EViews. See the Whitepaper for more details. Fix for a crash that could occur with certain foreign data files. Change to the resample command to allow auto-series to be resampled. Various fixes to program subroutines.
April, 2010
Fix for a crash that can occur when opening an Excel file currently open in a copy of Excel on another computer. Fix for a bug that could prevent equations estimated with certain methods (count, binary, glm, censored) from forecasting properly. Change in the way that out of sample values were used in the calculation of kernels with pre-whitening in GMM models. Previously they were set to 0.0, now they're set to NA. Expanded the @recode and @iif functions to now work with scalars. Fix for DRIPRO. Note you must have Windows set to open new files in a new EViews session(Options->General Options->Windows Behavior) for DRIPRO to work. Fix for dialog sample issue in non-stationary regression in panel workfiles. Fix for home key not working in program editor when auto-indenting was set to off. Increase number of characters allowed for impulse response standard errors. Added new series.setconvert options ("v" - No down conversions, and "u" - No up conversions).
March, 2010
Fix for an obscure bug in graph shading. Fixed a bug caused by the 03/23 patch that added an option to DBCOPY. Added an option to DBCOPY to set the destination type. Fix for a bug that could cause some graphs saved as emf files to not display properly. Fix for a bug that could cause some graphs made from matrix objects to have incorrect freeze settings. Fix for a bug that could cause user-dialogs containing many radio buttons to behave strangely. Fix for a bug causing model compile errors with models containing named equations estimated by Ordered or Censored methods. Fix for a crash when opening certain graphs made in EViews 6. Modified behaviour when sending empty series to databases. Fix for a crash in certain model recompiles. Fix for a crash when estimating certain MA/SMA models. Fix for a bug the caused spreadsheet views to scroll inadvertently.
