– initial HANK support (not yet documented)
– the “steady” command now supports the “noprint” option

Partial Information: clean up codes

- Remove globals
- Remove unused code paths
- support steady_state_model
- support contemporaneous_correlation
- support TeX option

Since the lock was not assigned to a variable, it was a temporary value and
would thus be immediately released.

Problem detected through a warning produced by GCC 14.

various bug fixes and enhancements of occbin

See merge request Dynare/dynare!2306

use leads and lags in #declarations, as allowed by  4f6344e6 (see also #1929).

See merge request Dynare/dynare!2305

the error in reconstructing the k-step ahead forecasts with occbin smoother redux, should only occur in the first occbin smoother interation for non-stationary models (with diffuse filter), where tstart>1.

if k>tstart, the same simulation should have been done already in occbin.kalman_update, so it should never give an error

if k<=tstart, the simulation may crash, since we ignore OBC in the first (diffuse) steps and it may happen that, given the linear updated states, the occbin simulation does not converge.

Indeed, I never got a simulation failure in line 474, where this possibility is properly taken into account.

 selec_posterior_draws.m: correct index (bug introduced in dc9560e6)

See merge request Dynare/dynare!2307

- new option use_relaxation_tol_period (default=1): if new regime different from guess by more than use_relaxation_tol_period, relaxation is applied

- trap the case when the occbin simulation does not converge (should only happen when first_period_occbin_update>1)

added Irreversible_investment_leadlag.mod to testsuite and make comparison with Irreversible_investment.mod

provide alternative irreversible investment model that uses leads and lags in #declarations, as allowed by 4f6344e6 (see also #1929).
