+Announcement for Dynare 4.4.1 (on 2014-01-15)
+=============================================
+
+We are pleased to announce the release of Dynare 4.4.1.
+
+This release adds a few minor features and fixes various bugs.
+
+The Windows packages are already available for download at:
+
+ http://www.dynare.org/download/dynare-stable
+
+The Mac and GNU/Linux packages (for Debian and Ubuntu) should follow soon.
+
+All users are encouraged to upgrade.
+
+This release is compatible with MATLAB versions 7.3 (R2006b) to 8.2 (R2013b) and
+with GNU Octave version 3.8.
+
+* New features in the user interface:
+
+ - The syntax introduced in 4.4.0 for conditional forecast in a deterministic
+   setup was changed.
+
+ - Remove option `annualAverages' to `addTable' (use option `tableDataRhs' to
+   `addSeries' instead). Option `vlineAfter' to `addTable' now also accepts a
+   cell array.
+
+* Bugs and problems identified in version 4.4.0 and that have been fixed in
+  version 4.4.1:
+
