#46: Update examples on the website

Most MOD files examples distributed on the website don't work with Dynare
4. They were designed for Dynare 3. We regularly get posts on the forum by
newcomers to Dynare who don't understand why these examples fail.
We should update them to Dynare 4.

#74: Variance decomposition gives dummy results in the presence of non-
stationary vars
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------

In the attached MOD file, the variance decomposition is clearly bogus:
some lines don't sum to 100% (some percentages are even negative).
The problem does not occur with Dynare 4.0.4. This is probably related to
the fact that this model contains a non-stationary variable. The file
{{{th_autocovariances.m}}} has changed between versions 4.0.4 and 4.1.0
with respect to the treatment of stationary variables.
Also note that the problem does not come from the fact that some shocks
are switched off (with a zero variance) in the attached MOD file.
Activating all the shocks still gives dummy results.

#32: Report MATLAB crashes on Linux/64 to Mathworks
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------

Component: Core M-files | Version:

On Linux, the 64-bits version of MATLAB crashes on some models with
Dynare. The crash seems to occur with rather big models. It is
reproducible, in the sense that the same code will always trigger the bug;
but a small change in the code can sometimes make the crash disappear.
Note that the crash is only triggered by M-files (no MEX).
See the attached "plouf.m" and "plouf_static.m". They are derived from
preprocessor-generated files with the EAGLE model. The script "plouf.m"
calls the function "plouf_static.m". Attached is the crash dump of MATLAB.
The crash is reproducible on MATLAB Linux/64, versions 7.5, 7.6 and 7.8.
But it does not occur on MATLAB for Linux/32, Windows/32 and Windows/64.
As can be seen from the displayed marks which I have inserted, MATLAB
crashes around line 131 of "plouf_static.m". More precisely, it seems to
crash just after having computed the expression there. I can't understand
exactly what's going on.
We need to report this to Mathworks.

if one writes wrongly
histval;
y = 1;
end;
instead of
histval;
y(0)=1;
end;
there is no error message with the line number where the error occurs
Note also that the reference manual is missleading because the (lag)
doesn't appear in the syntax

#81: bicgstab function does not exist in Octave 3.0

bicgstab function exists in both MATLAB and Octave 3.2, but not in Octave
3.0.
This break option stack_solve_algo=3 under Octave 3.0.
The fix is probably to backport the function from Octave 3.2 to Octave
3.0, and add in the matlab/missing/ subdir.

#76: Under Octave/Windows, with USE_DLL, Dynare should not require "cygwin" or

The fix is easy: in ModFile.cc, use MATLAB's error() command instead of
exiting the preprocessor when neither "cygwin" nor "msvc" is specified
under MATLAB/Windows.

Only theoretical hp filterd moments are available in the current version.
We need to add a general function for hp filtering time series and call
this new function when displaying simulated moements (with option hp
filter).

Hi,
The migration to Git is complete, the wiki page has been updated with
installation instructions:
http://www.dynare.org/DynareWiki/GitMigration
The procedure has been tested on both Linux and Windows and works
smoothly (though it is possible that the documentation still needs some
clarifications).
You need to send me an SSH key (as described on the page) to get write
access to your personal public repository.
As you have seen, a new mailing list has been created for receiving
information about changes merged in the central repository.
Have a nice week-end,
