StataCorp Stata 17 (Revision 18 Jul 2023)

1. Online help and the search index have been brought up to date for
Stata Journal 23(2).

2. collect get with estimation results from mixed incorrectly flagged all
interaction coefficients with factor variables as empty when they
should have been identified as base. This has been fixed.

3. cnsreg, when specified with option vce(cluster clustvar), incorrectly
determined the residual degrees of freedom based on the sample size
instead of the number of clusters; thus, the residual degrees of
freedom was too large. This resulted in an incorrect value posted in
scalar e(df_r) and p-values that were typically smaller than they
should have been. This has been fixed.

4. estat sd has the following fixes:

a. estat sd, when used with results from bootstrap: mixed, reported
standard errors computed using the delta method applied to the
model-based VCE, when it should have used the delta method applied
to the bootstrap-based VCE. This has been fixed.

b. estat sd, when used with results from jackknife: mixed, reported
standard errors computed using the delta method applied to the
model-based VCE, when it should have used the delta method applied
to the jackknife-based VCE. This has been fixed.

5. etable with suboption attach(_r_ci) in option stars() failed to show
the stars labels. This has been fixed.

6. isid, when not specified with using filename and when a string
identifier began or ended with a blank space, did not retain the sort
order of the data in memory. This has been fixed.

7. In Mata, after using st_framecurrent() to change the current frame,
st_view(V, real matrix i, rowvector j, scalar selectvar) specified
with a valid variable name in argument selectvar sometimes incorrectly
exited with the error "selectvar not found". This has been fixed.

8. The 08mar2023 update introduced a bug in mixed that broke support for
putdocx table tablename = etable. This has been fixed.

9. mlogit and mprobit have the following fixes:

a. mlogit and mprobit failed to include the base outcome equation in
matrix e(gradient) so that it is conformable with e(b). This has
been fixed.

b. mlogit and mprobit, when specified with a matrix in option from()
and that matrix contains an equation for the base outcome, will now
ignore that equation without requiring suboption skip.

10. proportion, when specified with option citype(exact) and more than one
constant variable, incorrectly exited with an unhelpful error message.
It now produces the requested proportion estimates.

11. table, when specified with option markvar(), incorrectly exited with
error message "varname not found", where varname is a temporary
variable name like __000001. The reported table and collected results
were not affected by this error; the only thing lost was the scalar
result r(N). This has been fixed.

12. (Windows) The home directory might not be set properly in Stata if the
user's account name contained Unicode characters. This has been
fixed.

13. (Windows) When entering certain Unicode characters in the Do-file
Editor, the autocomplete feature for autocompleting braces and quotes
could mistakenly insert an autocomplete character such as a right
single quote. This has been fixed.

14. (Unix) The 16may2023 update introduced a bug in the Data Editor that
could possibly lead to a crash. This has been fixed.

15. (Unix) Using the keyboard shortcut for copy or paste in the Data
Editor always copied or pasted from the data grid even if the keyboard
focus was set to a text entry field. This has been fixed.
