[Gretl-users] Recent updates of some packages

Hi all, I just want to inform you about some recent updates of some of my packages: "ADMBP": I know that some of you have waited for an update of this package fixing a few things. Hopefully that's done with this new version. Version 0.99 (March, 2021) - fix bug with the 'const' operator and many more bugs - enforce decimal points for plotting - replace deprecated sprintf command by function equivalent - make use of r/cnameset() - minimum gretl version required is 2020b "PairPlot" Version 0.6 (March 2021): - New API for PairPlot() -- backward-incompatible - update help text - enforce decimal point when print numerical data to gnuplot file - internal refactoring and clean up - gain of speed "CategoryEncoders" Version 0.4 (March 2021): - Fix bug with 'const' operator for a list of series in function pca_encode() - Clean up of internals - Avoid using "smpl" command by exploiting boolean mask operation instead. - Make formerly internal functions stats_by_group() and impose_by_group() public - Minimum version increased from 2018a to 2020b "RollingStats" Version 0.9: (April 2021) - Changed user-interface: replace rolling_ts() function by the new functions moving_stats() and moving_stats_array(), respectively. - Remove first unnecessary argument of rvec2series() function. - Internal improvements - New version required is 2020c "holidays" v0.3, (April 2021) - remove unnecessary second argument from the get_list_of_holidays() I also know that some people are waiting for an update of the "cointARDL" package. Quick fixes for it should come, hopefully, at the end of the week. Also, you always can get an overview of recent updates of packages either (1) here http://ricardo.ecn.wfu.edu/gretl/cgi-bin/gretldata.cgi?opt=SHOW_FUNCS or (2) via the GUI: File -> Function packages -> On server... -> Sort the packages by Date.
