Bugs that were present in 4.5.7 and that are fixed in 4.6.0
|
||||
-----------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
* Estimation: the check for stochastic singularity erroneously would only take
|
||||
estimated measurement error into account.
|
||||
* Estimation: if the Hessian at the mode was not positive definite, the Laplace
|
||||
approximation returned a complex number, but only displayed the real-valued
|
||||
part.
|
||||
* Conditional Forecasting: using one period only would result in a crash.
|
||||
* First-order approximation was not working with purely forward-looking models.
|
||||
* The preprocessor would not allow for inline comments including macro
|
||||
statements.
|
||||
* Using the `STEADY_STATE()` operator on exogenous variables would lead to
|
||||
crashes in stochastic simulations.
|
||||
* `moment_calibration`: for autocorrelation functions, the x-axis labeling had
|
||||
the wrong order.
|
||||
* `plot_identification`: placement of white dots indicating infinite values was
|
||||
incorrect
|
||||
* Automatic detrending would sometime refuse to detrend model despite the user
|
||||
having given correct trends.
|
||||
* Using `use_dll` + `fast` options would not always recompile the model when
|
||||
the equations were changed.
|
||||
* Under certain circumstances, the combination of `bytecode` and
|
||||
`stack_solve_algo=1` options could lead to crashes or wrong results.
