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! -- ------------------------------------------------------- Riccardo (Jack) Lucchetti Dipartimento di Scienze Economiche e Sociali (DiSES) Università Politecnica delle Marche (formerly known as Università di Ancona) r.lucchetti(a)univpm.it http://www2.econ.univpm.it/servizi/hpp/lucchetti -------------------------------------------------------
