Known bugs present in the current stable version

This page documents known bugs in Dynare stable.

• The mh_initialize_from_previous_mcmc did not work if estimation was conducted with a different prior and the last draw in the previous MCMC fell outside the new prior bounds (bug fixed in aad5c360)
• When specifying a generalized inverse Gamma prior, the hyperparameter computation would erroneously ignore the resulting mean shift (bug fixed in 8f735646)
• When using the mh_recover-option, the status bar always started at zero instead of showing the overall progress of the recovered chain (bug fixed in 53b57da8)
• The model_diagnostics-command failed to check the correctness of user-defined steady state files (bug fixed in 1b4fb46c)
• GSA: LaTeX output did not work as expected (bug fixed in 59c9f70a, 701afd2c, fca782f8)
• Forecasts and filtered variables could not be retrieved with heteroskedastic_shocks (bug fixed in de152a3d)
• The OccBin smoother would potentially not display all smoothed shocks with heteroskedastic_filter (bug not yet fixed, see 983d0b82)
• LaTeX output under Windows failed to compile for plot_priors and Brooks/Gelman convergence diagnostics (bug fixed in e7184023 and 37f747bb)
• shock_decomposition: the plot was too big, making the close button inaccessible (bug fixed in 701afd2c)
• Theoretical moments at order=2 with pruning do not contain unconditional and conditional variance decomposition (regression from 4.6; fixed in 41ac891f and c063d536; not backported to 5.x)
• Forecasts are only based on the DSGE-model, not the DSGE-VAR (bug not yet fixed; see #819)
• The bvar_irf command would ignore the SquareRoot option and instead employ a Cholesky decomposition (bug fixed in 14634946)
• The contemp_reduced_form-option of the sbvar-command is broken (bug not yet fixed, see #1716)
