 What's new
 ----------
 
-### BloomR Casta Diva (1.4.*)
+### BloomR Lakmé (1.5.*)
 
-Improvements over Turandot version:
+New edition system: Core, Lab, Studio 
 
-This release is a major update with significant changes.
+Added a mini Perl to improve the cropping.  
 
-Now both Bloomberg and Thomson Reuters Eikon are supported.
+Switched from Thomson Reuters to Refinitiv Eikon.  
 
-Bloomberg interface is now based on Rblpapi.   
-BloomR comes in two versions *BloomR Core* and *BloomR BRemacs*. The latter implements an editor based on Emacs.  
-
-
-__read.xlx__
-
-`read.xlx` joins the family. With this function you can read Excel xlsx workbook sheets into R data frames.  Some features are:
-
-* It can import all, one, or a selection of sheets, where specific sheets are requested by means of their name.
-* Instead of importing all the sheets' cells, it can import only those comprised in a named range.
-* It can distinguish between cells formatted as numbers, percent, text and dates,
-* Date cells are recognised  whatever the language locale. 
-* Blank (visual) lines are detected and automatically removed from the data frame, unless you want to keep them.
-* The filter is not based on any external engine and does not requires Excel to be installed at all. It's pure R code, so you can read xlsx files on Linux systems. 
-
-See xlx.help.html, or [xlx.help.pdf](https://github.com/AntonioFasano/BloomR/blob/master/xlx.help.pdf?raw=true) user manual for more.
