[Gretl-users] yahoo_get package to be removed soon

Hi, as has been discussed on this list, the yahoo_get function package --which was a "Downloader of daily financial data from Yahoo"-- no longer works as intended, due to permanent server-side changes at Yahoo. Therefore that package will be removed soon from the function package repository, i.e. will not be downloadable from within gretl anymore. If for some reason the package is still useful for you (don't know why, but hey...) you should make a personal backup copy of it (that is, of the file yahoo_get.gfn). Note that the helper function gap_filler() from yahoo_get.gfn has been transplanted to the new package extra.gfn which was just published today. No need to keep yahoo_get around just for that, instead you would just do 'include extra.gfn'. thanks, sven
