Automatically switch to k_order_solver if order>2. Use old mex file if
order==2 (since it seems unexpectedly significantly faster than
local_state_space_iteration_k, and because it can deal with pruning).
This field contains a string representation of the expression that the
auxiliary variable replaces.
It is non-empty for all auxiliary variables, except for Lagrange multipliers.

The “diff” operator was incorrectly replaced by its argument in the static
model, leading to an incorrect result for the steady state.
This is because the information contained in the “expr_node” field of the
auxiliary variables storage was not consistent across all types of auxiliary
variables: for a “diff()” operator, it would contain the argument of the
operator, instead of the full node. Hence it would not simplify to zero at the
steady state.
A similar inconsistency was also present for the “expectation()” operator,
though it was not leading to an incorrect static model.
In the absence of braces, the last “else” clause is always associated with the
closest “if”, which is not what was intended here. The indentation was
misleading.
– New “squeeze_shock_decomposition” command
— New “max_nrows” option to “plot_shock_decomposition” and
“initial_condition_decomposition”
— “plot_shock_decomposition” now returns oo_ as an output argument

Since commit 9c9e8f816f, it’s the information
from the original model which was in this field, which is not what is expected.
By the way, do not output this field (and the related M_.hessian_eq_zero) when
the Hessian is not computed by the preprocessor (i.e. in practice for perfect
foresight), since they would otherwise contain incorrect information.

Because MATLAB under Windows maintains a lock on the “+<basename>” subdirectory,
we use a workaround consisting in first renaming the directory, then deleting
it.
But this is not enough when the “ramsey_policy” command is used, because the
latter creates a “+objective” subfolder inside “+<basename>”, on which MATLAB
also maintains a lock.
The fix consists in recursively using the same workaround as for the top-level
directory: renaming before deleting.
Auxiliary equations appearing in set_auxiliary_variables.m and
dynamic_set_auxiliary_series.m need to appear in recursive ordering, since
those files are used for sequential evaluation.
Previously, the recursive ordering was guaranteed by a set of ad hoc rules and
workarounds, but that would not cover certain edge cases.
With this commit, the recursive ordering is systematically computed, using a
topological sort on the directed acyclic graph whose vertices are auxiliary
equations and whose edges are dependency relationships.
