List Available IMF WEO Publications

Returns a data frame of the WEO publications this package knows how to download. The IMF releases the WEO database twice per year:

• Spring (April)

• Fall (October)

The list is maintained as a lookup table inside the package rather than detected online, because releases published on the IMF Data portal (October 2025 onwards) sit behind opaque per-vintage identifiers. A new release therefore only becomes available after a package update.
