The plan is to run it on an older version once a week. My ideal was to run it on the oldest version of Matlab that we support but I am having trouble installing it on Debian Jessie. I'll install the oldest version I can and run it there.

This is a change introduced after R2015a that I'm still using. That's why I couldn't understand what was going on.
I guess that we don't want to use this new feature despite its advantages because it breaks compatibility with Matlab versions that are not so old and what about Octave?
However, because it makes Matlab more permissive, maybe we should still run occasionally the testsuite with an older version of Matlab (once a week?)

Hi,
it's not a problem with the testsuite, but with Matlab's convention that you can subtract a conformable vector from a matrix, because Matlab expands the vector to a matrix. Simply try to run
eye(4)-[1 2 3 4]
and you will see that it returns
ans =
0 -2 -3 -4-1 -1 -3 -4 -1 -2 -2 -4 -1 -2 -3 -3
That's why no error was triggered here. Problems like these are very hard to detect, unless you know the correct answer of the computations and check for them. This might be a next step.
Best, Johannes

I don't undestand how the testsuite can pass test ./kalman_filter_smoother/algo4.mod and several other test cases because of issue https://github.com/DynareTeam/dynare/issues/1339 This test fails on my machine
If the testsuite isn't reliable, we have a major problem
