Dear Dynare friends,
We are pleased to announce the release of Dynare 4.3.3.
This is a bugfix release.
The Windows packages are already available for download at:
http://www.dynare.org/download/dynare-stable
The Mac and GNU/Linux packages (for Debian and Ubuntu) should follow soon.
All users are encouraged to upgrade.
The new release is compatible with MATLAB versions ranging from 7.0 (R14) to 8.1 (R2013a) and with GNU Octave versions ranging from 3.2 to 3.6.
Here is a list of the problems identified in version 4.3.2 and that have been fixed in version 4.3.3:
- Estimation with measurement errors was wrong if a correlation between two measurement errors was calibrated
- Option `use_dll' was broken under Windows
- Degenerate case of purely static models (no leads/no lags) were not correctly handled
- Deterministic simulations over a single period were not correctly done
- The sensitivity call `dynare_sensitivity(identification=1,morris=2)' was buggy when there are no shocks estimated
- Calls to `shock_decomposition' after using `selected_variables_only' option fail
- Sometimes, only the last open graph was saved, leading to missing and duplicate EPS/PDF graphs
- Forecasting after maximum likelihood estimation when not forecasting at least one observed variables (`var_obs') was leading to crashes
- Some functionalities were crashing with MATLAB 8.1/R2013a (bytecode, MS-SBVAR)
- Sometimes only the first order autocorrelation of `moments_varendo' was saved instead of all up to the value of `ar' option
On behalf of the Dynare Team,
