Re: [DynareDev] AIM solver
by Michel Juillard 25 Mar '09

Hi George, 1) on which page of the Wiki is the faulty mexopt.bat? Chances are that I put it there, but at the moment I don't remember where it is. 2) What is the fix for spaces in the pathname? Where should be added quotes? Single quotes or double quotes? Thanks for you help Michel G.

I have fixed the problems with dynare_estimation_1, but running various tests, I'm still finding bugs we may not have seen before. I will let you know when I'm done. Best Michel

Re: [DynareDev] sensitivity toolbox
by Michel Juillard 19 Mar '09

Hi Marco, s sorry about that. This is an example of bad coordination of Dynare changes that we need to be more careful about in the future. 1) We are going to release (next week ?) version 4.0.3 that will be a bug fixing release of version 4.0.2 (Oct 2008) 2) We are going to release 4.1 in one or two months with new features and that will include everything that is now in the trunk of the SVN archive. So ideally, you should provide quickly a fix for version 4.0.2/3 as soon as possible and prepare a version working with current SVN in the coming weeks. I'm planing to incorporate the changes that you made in the last months to your functions on SVN to version 4.0.3, probably tomorrow. So maybe, you should wait that I have done it to work on your toolbox for version 4.0.3 What will become version 4.0.3 is kept in SVN as dynare/branches/4.0 What are the main changes in SVN trunk that broke your toolbox?

Dynare subversion server: migration complete
by Sébastien Villemot 19 Mar '09

19 Mar '09

Hi everybody, The migration of the Dynare subversion server is complete. Dynare subversion is now accessible at: https://www.dynare.org/svn/dynare We migrated the server to a secure connection (it is HTTPS and not HTTP !!); there should be no security warning, since we have bought an official digital certificate from Comodo. For committing changes, the user accounts and passwords are unchanged; however, for increased security, we should change every individual password in the future. We will do this in due time, when we find a way to securely exchange passwords. The new layout of the repository is the following: - trunk/: contains the version under development (formerly known as dynare_v4/) - branches/: containes the 3.x and 4.0 stable branches - tags/: contains official dynare releases You have to download a fresh working copy of the repository (for several technical reasons it is impossible to convert your already existing working copies; sorry for the inconvenience). With command-line subversion, you should issue the following command: svn checkout https://www.dynare.org/svn/dynare Please also note that Dynare++ is now in a separate repository, at address: https://www.dynare.org/svn/dynare++ The same remarks apply. Ondra: you can contact me if you want me to setup mail announcements for each changeset, as for the Dynare repository. Please also feel free to reorganize the layout of the Dynare++ repository, since for the moment it only contains a single dynare++ subdirectory. For the moment there is only a very rough web SVN browser, accessible at the same address than the repositories (type https://www.dynare.org/svn/dynare in your web browser). I will try to setup a more friendly web browser soon. All the best Sébastien
