Huge emails on dynare commit list
by Sébastien Villemot 27 Jan '11

27 Jan '11

I have created new repositories on our server for hosting code from Tao Zha and Dan Waggoner, and in the process huge emails where sent by accident on the dynare commit lists. Some of you will not receive them because of size limits on their mailboxes. I apologize to those who received it.

[Trac] #37: Automatic generation of _steadystate.m file from initval block
by Trac Dynare 26 Jan '11

#37: Automatic generation of _steadystate.m file from initval block --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: sebastien | Owner: sebastien Type: feature | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: Preprocessor | Version: Keywords: | --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- The idea is that the preprocessor would create a _steadystate.m file, using the (symbolic) initializations given in the initval block. This would be particularly useful for estimating models for which the analytical form of the steady state is known. -- Ticket URL: <https://www.dynare.org/trac/ticket/37> Dynare <http://www.dynare.org> The Dynare project

[Trac] #145: when cross-compiling, the host prefix is not added to "ar"
by Trac Dynare 20 Jan '11

#145: when cross-compiling, the host prefix is not added to "ar" --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: sebastien | Owner: sebastien Type: bug | Status: new Priority: trivial | Milestone: Component: Build system / Packaging | Version: 4.1.3 Keywords: | --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- When building a static library (as in preprocessor/macro), the build system will always use "ar" (instead of "i686-w64-mingw32-ar" for example). In most cases this is not a problem. The problem can happen if one has only the cross-compiling binutils, but not the native binutils, as for example in a Cygwin install where only the packages listed on the wiki page are installed. -- Ticket URL: <https://www.dynare.org/trac/ticket/145> Dynare <http://www.dynare.org> The Dynare project

modifications to the smoother
by Michel Juillard 13 Jan '11

13 Jan '11

I just uploaded to unstable an important modification to the code for the Kalman smoother. Re-factoring existing code, correcting some bugs for the diffuse smoother (nonstationary models), and eliminating specialization of the code meant to improve efficiency. In the future, we will expand the existing DLL for likelihood for the smoother and dealing with special cases. Please, report any problem that you could encounter with the new code. Best, Michel
