Dear all,

this message is to inform the community about the activity in our function package repository: during the month of October 2025, 2 packages were updated to a new version and a new one was released. The updates were:

"heatmap", by Artur Tarassow (Heatmap, contour and 3D plots)

"color_xy", by myself (color xy plot for time series )

The new package is 

"FRED_get", again by myself, which allows you to download data from the FRED data repo (https://fred.stlouisfed.org/) if you have a valid API key.

I would especially like to mention the new featured in the "heatmap" package, that make it possible to produce hip stuff like the plot I'm attaching. 

Download and enjoy!
