2017-06-21  Uwe Ligges <Uwe.Ligges@R-project.org>

	* DESCRIPTION: Version is 0.8-69
	* add more sophisticated test cases and new examples for read.spss

2017-06-20  Uwe Ligges <Uwe.Ligges@R-project.org>

	* R/spss.R: 
	 - fix for R >= 3.4.0 not allowing duplicated factor labels,
	   hence new arguments
	   'duplicated.value.labels' and 'duplicated.value.labels.infix'
	   that control whether to make factor labels unique or to condence 
	   all levels with identical factor labels into one level
	 - new argument 'add.undeclared.levels': Many files observed in the wild
	   have variables with one or more value labels and further 
	   non-missing values that have no value label. 
	   We cann now sepcify whether the other levels should be appended or sorted
	   into the declared labels, or not to convert to factor at all.
	   This fixes several issues, e.g. that values without labels were 
	   regarded as NA values before.

2017-06-19  Uwe Ligges <Uwe.Ligges@R-project.org>
	
	* R/spss.R: 
	 - allow to pass a "..." argument to as.data.frame,
	   add argument "sub" for substituting invalid chars rather than returning NAs and 
	   allowing for back compatibility
	 - now also auto-reencodes if R is ruinning in a latin-1 locale and sav file's encoding is not.
	* src/sfm-read.c: Update for format type 7 subtypes:
	 - more comments and restructured
	 - information from 
	   https://www.gnu.org/software/pspp/pspp-dev/html_node/System-File-Format.html#System-File-Format
	 - no longer warns for subtypes 12, 17, 18, 19, 20, 24 as these can be safely ignored
	 - more informative warning messages for subtypes 14, 21, 22 (long strings)

2017-06-12  Uwe Ligges <Uwe.Ligges@R-project.org>

	* R/spss.R: use iconv(..., sub=".") so that character labels/names/values
	  with invalid or non convertible chars are no longer silently coerced to NA

2017-06-09  Uwe Ligges <Uwe.Ligges@R-project.org>

	* src/sfm-read.c: Do not evaluate the write field for the format 
	  type any more as this produces errors and given 
	  https://www.gnu.org/software/pspp/pspp-dev/html_node/Variable-Record.html#Variable-Record
	  tells us on June 9, 2017:
	  "A few system files have been observed in the wild with invalid write fields, 
	  in particular with value 0. Readers should probably treat invalid print or 
	  write fields as some default format. "

2017-05-04  Uwe Ligges <Uwe.Ligges@R-project.org>

	* several bugfixes for writeForeignSPSS:
	  add/correct declaration of factors and ordered factors (nominal, ordered);
	  add/correct declaration of numeric (scale) variables;
	  calculate length of character variables correctly, even if 
	  all entries are NA and there is no longer a 255 char limit 
	  (since SPSS 13); 
	  data files are typically encoded in the current locale and not always ASCII;
	  variable name list must not exceed 251 chars for each line of code 
	  and had to be wrapped

2017-04-29  Uwe Ligges <Uwe.Ligges@R-project.org>

	* add maxchars = 32L argument to writeForeignSPSS
      in order to allow for longer variable names for SPSS versions > 12
	* bugfix in writeForeignSPSS for declaration of character variables by prefixed stars
	
2017-04-27  Uwe Ligges <Uwe.Ligges@R-project.org>

	* writeForeignCode.R: SET DECIMAL=DOT. in SPSS required if 
	  it runs in a locale with DECIMAL=comma
