Hello Pythonista's,

Just a short note to announce the 0.1.3 of SalStat, a relatively new 
package for scientific statistical analysis written entirely in Python 
and wxPython. It aims to be a little like SPSS or Statview, but has been 
written with the "nervous" user in mind (people not comfortable with 
statistics or computers) as I have taught SPSS to undergrads and seen 
their problems.

The main website is at http://salstat.sunsite.dk and source code is 
available from http://salstat.sunsite.dk/downloads.html. For the 
curious, screenshots are at http://salstat.sunsite.dk/screenshots.html. 
All code is released under the GNU GPL, and there is a mailing list at 
sourceforge for anyone interested.

This release consolidates previous releases - a number of tests have 
been added (such as the Point Biserial Correlation, Linear Regression 
and single factor between subjects anova), the GUI has been improved, 
and the output of the analysis (in html) is better formatted (with the 
anova output as a nice table).

SalStat currently runs on Linux and Windows, and (if the author can get 
his greasy paws on a nice new Mac) OSX possibly depending upon the 
status of the OSX port of wxPython. Way to go guys!
