For ten years, the Stata Technical Bulletin (STB) served as a means of distributing new commands and Stata updates, both community-contributed and “official”. After ten years of continuous publication, the Stata Technical Bulletin evolved into the Stata Journal.
One of the best features about the STB was the new commands it provided. Stata users—subscribers and nonsubscribers alike—can obtain STB programs over the Internet directly within Stata; see the instructions for Stata users.
