Hi everybody,
on SVN, I have created branches/4.0 to freeze version 4.0.0 Most changes
necessary to release version 4.0.0 have been done. There are a few
keywords/options that need to be added to the preprocessor and more
tests need to be done.
Please keep adding new features to the trunk (don't change anything to
your SVN setup).
If you want to test version 4.0.0, please check out branches/4.0 in a
separate working directory, then commit only bug corrections from this
working directory.
Best,
Michel

Here is the timeline:
* we finish Dynare 4.0.0 in the trunk (dynare_v4/)
* when we're done, we copy dynare_v4/ to branches/4.0 and tags/4.0.0
* we fix bugs in branches/4.0, creating new releases when we feel the
need (creating a release involves copying branches/4.0 to tags/4.0.x
where x is the minor release number)
* meanwhile, we add new features or restructure the code in the trunk
(dynare_v4/). Also note that many bug fixes done on the 4.0 branch
will also apply to the trunk
* when we think we can make a new major release (for example when
we've completed September 30 goals), we release 4.1.0 by copying
dynare_v4/ to branches/4.1 and tags/4.1.0
* we continue the parallel development of the trunk, the 4.1 branch,
and maybe the 4.0 branch (or we can decide to drop the 4.0 branch at
that point)
