Debian for Economists
by Sébastien Villemot 26 Feb '12

26 Feb '12

Hi, I finally made the first release my “Debian for Economists”, which is a virtual machine image of a pre-installed Debian system tailored for economists, and very easy to set up. It is available from: http://www.dynare.org/DynareWiki/DebianForEconomists I will make it public in a short while, after a little testing. Don't hesitate to give me your feedback.

dynare 5 parser
by Houtan Bastani 24 Feb '12

24 Feb '12

Hello, The *first* draft for the dynare 5 parser is done. You can check it out by doing the following: git clone ssh://houtanb@karaba.cepremap.org/home/houtanb/Dynare5/dynare5.git cd dynare5 python _ast_gen.py python dynYacc.py The output is an abstract syntax tree of the mod file (first.mod). Feel free to play around with it and tell me if you run into any problems, spot mistakes I've made or think anything should be changed. Best, Houtan

Rebuild of Dynare 4.2.4 for Windows
by Sébastien Villemot 24 Feb '12

24 Feb '12

For your information, I just rebuilt and uploaded a new version of the Windows installer for Dynare 4.2.4. The first reason for doing so is that the dynare++ binary was broken in the previous installer. The other reason is that I rebuilt against Octave 3.4.3. Note that Octave 3.6.1 has been released, but there is no graphical installer for Windows yet, so I preferred to recompile against 3.4. Also note that I am currently working on the official Debian package for Octave 3.6.1; it should enter Debian unstable soon.

Eigen library
by Sébastien Villemot 24 Feb '12

24 Feb '12

A Debian developer recently pointed me at this free C++ library for linear algebra: http://eigen.tuxfamily.org/index.php?title=FAQ Basically it is as fast as MKL (on a single thread, multi-threading support is still preliminary), and it has a very nice syntax. I regret I did not know it when we started implementing the Estimation DLL. I am not sure if it is worth switching now. But we should definitely consider the possibility.

Release goals for Dynare 4.3 + Bug squashing party
by Sébastien Villemot 24 Feb '12

24 Feb '12

Hi, In order to prepare the release of Dynare 4.3, I created a wiki page listing the release goals: http://www.dynare.org/DynareWiki/ReleaseGoals43 As explained on the page, the goal is to have that new version ready for June, which means that features must be implemented (and documented!) by May (in order to have some time for testing). Please complete the page by adding goals that may be missing and by indicating expected completion dates. I did not include all works in progress (e.g. accuracy checks, extended path, global methods, estimation DLL) because I am not sure they will be ready for the deadline, but feel free to add it if you think they will. Conversely, please remove any goal that is on the list but that won't be ready for the release. I also would like to organise a "bug squashing party" (BSP) in order to tackle the large number of tickets that we have in Trac. The idea is to get as many of us to work on the same day on fixing these tickets in a collaborative way. No need to meet in real life, we will coordinate online via iRC (Internet Relay Chat). The advantage of a BSP this is twofold: * it creates a commitment which forces us to allocate some time to fixing these (sometimes very old) tickets * many tickets require the interaction of several members of the team in order to get fixed, and a live discussion is much faster than email So please go the Doodle page that I set up, and indicate at which dates you would be available for that BSP: http://www.doodle.com/kcktgwpk57p7cwm2 We will choose the date which has the greatest number of positive answers.
