Thanks for all the feedback on the first PSPP 0.6.1 pre-release,
which made it clear that a second pre-release was necessary.
I've made such a PSPP 0.6.1 pre-release available at:
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/pspp/pspp-0.6.1-rc2.tar.gz
In the hope that no further changes will be necessary before
release, it also unpacks itself into a directory named
pspp-0.6.1.
I believe that I incorporated everyone's feedback from email into
rc2, and even some feedback that I received only via IRC. Please
let me know if I missed anything.
I've pushed the changes to a branch named pre-0.6.1 at savannah.
I made the following changes from rc1 to rc2:

Update NEWS for 0.6.1-rc2.

Add ".sav" or ".por" suffix to filename when saving with Save_As
Closes bug #23137
(This is a cross-port of commit 169887f6d6d7bf5c10d5b05786aa3fd252040c93
from the master branch, originally authored and committed by John
Darrington.)

Only use -fgnu89-inline if the compiler actually supports it.
Jason Stover pointed out that we were using -fgnu89-inline even when the
compiler didn't support it. Obviously that's not good.

Also warn about missing prerequisites as we encounter them (bug #24445).
It can happen that configure bails out in the middle due to some issue
that PSPP cannot directly control; for example, AC_CHECK_SIZEOF exits
unconditionally if it fails. If this happens then, before, we would fail
to warn about missing required prerequisites that could well have been
the actual cause of the failure, because we only warn about these at
the end of the run.
Now, we warn about missing prerequisites both at time of detection and
in a summary at the end, to head off this problem.
Thanks to Jim Orr for allowing me to notice the problem.

Add note to INSTALL explaining how to use libraries from /usr/local.
Several users have had trouble building PSPP with self-built GSL, etc.
that were installed to /usr/local. Explain how to do it here to be
more friendly to Unix novices.
Thanks to Jim Orr for making me realize that this was important.

Add pspp-dev.dvi to CLEANFILES.
Automake does not seem to clean this file automatically. (Is this an
Automake bug?)

Append $(EXEEXT_FOR_BUILD) to output file name when building q2c.
Thanks to "Michel Boaventura" <address@hidden> for reporting
this problem and to John Darrington for assisting with the solution.
The changes from 0.6.0 to 0.6.1-rc1 were:
* Bug fixes. At least the following bugs were fixed:
- Report correct standardized regression coefficients in linear
regression output (bug #23567).
- Work around bug in GSL that prevented build with recent GCC
versions without manually adding -fgnu89-inline to CFLAGS.
- Make it possible to reopen the output window on Windows (bug
#24033).
- Avoid crash with pie charts (bug #24014).
- Don't append % to count totals (bug #24003).
- Don't crash on bad input (bug #24031).
- Don't crash if "end data." is not left aligned (bug #24115).
- Change default workspace value to 64 MB, to avoid unnecessary
disk accesses on modern machines.
- Distribute necessary files to allow users working from the
distributed tarball to configure with --enable-gui-tools.
- Remove poor German translations.
* GSL 1.8 or later is now required.
