Hi,

I created the first Release Candidate for Dynare 4.3.0.

It is available in source form at:

http://www.dynare.org/sebastien/dynare-4.3.0-rc1.tar.xz

A Windows package is available at:

http://www.dynare.org/sebastien/dynare-4.3.0-rc1-win.exe

Please download and install this release candidate, and test it against everything you can think of (especially things which are not in the testsuite, like big or private models). Also, don't forget to test against Octave if you can.

For GNU/Linux and Mac users: I’d like you to download and compile the source tarball instead of using git, in order to ensure that no file is missing in the tarball and that everybody is testing the same version.

This testing phase is very important if we want to make a quality release. In the past, we have not always met that goal, so it is a good opportunity to change our bad habits :)

My objective is to make the final release by the end of the week. I may create new release candidates meanwhile if many bugs are discovered (and fixed!).

Best,
