[Gretl-users] Package Updates (November/December 2025)

Dear all, this message is to inform the community about the activity in our function package repository: during the months of November and December 2025, 4 packages were updated to a new version and a new one was released. (I'm putting two months together because last month I just forgot, hehehe) The updates were: "basis_functions", by myself (splines, fractional polynomials, Fourier series etc) "CSDpanel.zip, by Sven Schreiber and Jörg Breitung (test and estimators for panels with cross-section dependence) "season_plot", by Artur Tarassow (Buys Ballot plots) "hausman_taylor", by Allin Cottrell (Hausman-Taylor panel model) And some stats on 2025: we had over 24,000 downloads for our function packages.
