— Bug fix: allow external functions in model local variables (also add corresponding
  integration test)
— JSON output:
  + do not append two underscores after model local variable names in their
    definition
  + when writing the model after computing pass, use TEF terms for (not
    derived) external functions
  + write model local variables in parsed model (modfile.json) (Closes: #1723)
— In the driver file, provide mapping between model local variables and indices
  in the temporary terms vector (Closes: #1722)

— add bi-annual frequency
— do not return NaNs if a variable is 0 in all periods
— fixed bug (dates member was wrong)

By the way, fix bug where oo_ was not modified by solve_one_boundary.

Also convert oo_.deterministic_simulations.status to a boolean in the block
routines, for consistency with the non-block case.

In 0c77f7e9, the supported Octave version has
been changed from the Homebrew binary to the standalone application.

However, the runtime check about the supported Octave version was not updated,
and was still pointing to the Homebrew version number.

Note that MSYS2 is in the middle of the transition from xz to zstd for
compressing its archives, so we have to handle both formats.

Ref. #1727

Rather use a single vector as in non-block mode.

By the way, change the order of output arguments in static functions, to be
closer to the dynamic ones.

This cas was omitted in previous commit.

Rather use a single vector as in non-block mode.

Those cases are handled by dynare_solve.

— allow solve_algo=9 without block nor bytecode
— allow solve_algo≥9 with block without bytecode
— test solve_algo=9

Ref. #1724

This is necessary if we want our signatures to remain valid after the
expiration of our certificate.

initval_file and hisvfal_file are now more flexible and have functionalities
similar to option datafile in estimation.

Closes: #1671

Bug introduced in previous commit.

— various refactoring and bugfixes in block decomposition
— small bugfix for PAC models

Closes: #1717

Ref. #1713

— Efficiency change. OCTAVE_VERSION is a builtin function in Octave
— Fix bug dseries#43
— Cosmetic changes
— Fixed subsasgn method (when calling merge)

Do not print the total computing time at the end of the driver evaluation.
