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.

Dear Dynare users,
the Dynare team is currently trying to gain insight into the user base and
the software environments its users are operating. This will allow us to
make better informed decisions about future development plans. We highly
appreciate your feedback. 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.
Please take some time to fill out the questionnaire.
Kind regards,
