Release of Dynare 4.6.1
by Sébastien Villemot 13 Mar '20

13 Mar '20

Dear Dynare users, We are pleased to announce the release of Dynare 4.6.1. This maintenance release fixes various bugs. The Windows, macOS and source packages are already available for download at the Dynare website. All users are strongly encouraged to upgrade. This release is compatible with MATLAB versions ranging from 7.9 (R2009b) to 9.7 (R2019b), and with GNU Octave versions 5.2.0 (under Windows) and 4.4.1 (under macOS). Here is a list of the problems identified in version 4.6.0 and that have been fixed in version 4.6.1: Installation on macOS would fail if the GCC compiler was supposed to be installed and www.google.com was not reachable or blocked Dynare++ was missing the dynare_simul.m file The parameter vector M_.params would not be correctly updated after calls to stoch_simul and discretionary_policy if parameters had been modified in a steady state fileThe stoch_simul command with both the nograph and TeX options would crash The stoch_simul command with the noprint option would crash The prior moments command would crash if the used parameter vector triggered an error code In case of problem, the discretionary_policy command would crash instead of aborting with a proper error code Computing of prior/posterior statistics would not work in parallel Closing of parallel estimation on GNU/Linux could crash The histval command would not work in combination with the predetermined_variables command Ramsey optimal policy with multiple instruments would crash if a steady state file returned complex values, instead of providing an error message The model_diagnostics command would not correctly update the parameter vector if the latter was set in a steady state fileThe model_diagnostics command would ignore the nocheck steady state flag As a reminder, the list of new features introduced in the 4.6.x series can be found in the release notes for 4.6.0.

The survey is available at https://www.survey3.uni-koeln.de/index.php/569733?lang=en and should only take a few minutes to complete. It is anonymous.
