Possible bug in yahoo.get (spanish)
by Cristián Arturo Ducoing Ruiz
Hi there,
I was trying to get data from Yahoo using the package yahoo_get and after
several attempts to get the data, I always got the same error message
("error de datos", data error in english). By default the configuration was
in Spanish.
I changed the preferences to English and using the same code, I got
immediately the data requested (MSFT)
include yahoo_get.gfn
series msft = yahoo_price("MSFT", 1)
MSFT imported ok
Generated series msft (ID 2)
Im using windows 11 and the latest gretl version (2024a)
Best regards

gretl release coming up
by Cottrell, Allin
We've fixed a number of gretl bugs lately, and although they're
unlikely to affect most users we'd rather not have them lingering on.
So we're going to make a new release, 2024b, sooner than we usually
would, probably early next week.
This is just to say that if anyone is thinking of updating
translations this would be a good time to do so. Plus, we'd be
grateful if people could try out the current snapshots -- they're up
to date as of today -- and report any issues they find.
Thanks,

Mankiw-Romer-Weil dataset
by Cottrell, Allin
A heads-up: the mrw.gdt datafile that's packaged with gretl has been
modified slightly. The series that was named "inv" (investment to GDP
ratio) has been renamed as "i_y". This avoids a collision with the
name of the inv() function (matrix inversion) which up till now has
produced a somewhat annoying warning message. The revised version of
mrw.gdt is now in gretl snapshots, and will be in the next (2024b)
release.
The gretl example scripts that use this dataset have been updated accordingly.
