Known bugs present in the current stable version

This page documents known bugs in Dynare stable.

• Estimation: the check for stochastic singularity erroneously does only take estimated measurement error into account (bug fixed in da0ad673)
• 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 (bug fixed in 00757767)
• Conditional Forecasting: using one period only results in a crash (bug fixed in 33f19d35)
• First order approximation does not work with purely forward-looking models. (see #1641 (closed), bug fixed in 7a2d5d4f)
• The preprocessor does not allow for inline comments including macro statements (see @preprocessor#8 (closed), bug fixed by rewrite of macro processor: commits preprocessor@17e040f3 to preprocessor@15620163)
• Forecasts are only based on the DSGE-model, not the DSGE-VAR (bug not yet fixed; see #819)
• Using the STEADY_STATE() operator on exogenous variables leads to crashes in stochastic simulations (bug not yet fixed; see #825 (closed))
• moment_calibration: for autocorrelation functions, the x-axis labeling had the wrong order (bug fixed in 8713e46c)
• plot_identification: placement of white dots indicating infinite values was incorrect
• Automatic detrending does not always work properly (see #1389 (closed))
• smoother2histval does not keep track of whether previously stored results were generate with loglinear (bug not yet fixed; see #1407 (closed))
• The initval_file option does not yet support Dynare's translation of a model into a one lead/lag-model via auxiliary variables (bug not yet fixed; see #1004 (closed))
• Using use_dll + fast does not always recompile the model when the equations are changed (see #1661 (closed))
