Dear all,
I have just pushed a first beta release of 4.5.0. The package is available here:
http://www.dynare.org/beta-release
Things that remain to be done:
+ Update the NEWS file (I am almost done with the first draft, I should push it on Monday).
+ Update the reference manual.
+ Open a new page for the bugs in 4.5.x.
+ Update the microsoft code signature.
+ Check that the binaries are not detected as virus by the most common anti-virus (we had this issue with release of 4.4.0).
+ Fix the Octave bugs (those which can be fixed quickly).
I want to relase 4.5.0 for the summer school (12th of June). So it is likely that important bugs, related to block/bytecode, will remain in this release (Ferhat is already working on this). I think we will have to release 4.5.1 before the Summer holidays (end of July for me).
For the 4.5.x bug page (and also the New features page, 4.6-unstable) I propose to do it on Github (Wiki) instead of DynareWiki, the Markdown syntax (Github) is more elegant than moinmoin, and also this would greatly reduce the cost of updating the NEWS file.
Best, Stéphane.
