# DSGE.jl v0.2.0 Release Notes

## New features

- Added the An-Schorfheide model, a simple three-equation New Keynesian model.
- Added Model 1010, an updated version of Model 1002.
- Added three optimization methods: `:simulated_annealing`, `:LBFGS`, and
`:combined_optimizer` (which alternates between simulated annealing and
LBFGS).
- Added the `PseudoObservable` type and the `pseudo_measurement` function, which
defines pseudo-observables (linear combinations of states which are not
observed) for each model, e.g. the output gap.
- Implemented the forecast step, a suite of functions that forecast using
estimated parameters and compute means and bands of the forecasted series. The
top-level functions are `forecast_one` and `means_bands_all`; see the
[forecasting](http://frbny-dsge.github.io/DSGE.jl/latest/forecast.html) and
[means and bands](http://frbny-dsge.github.io/DSGE.jl/latest/means_bands.html)
for more details.

## Breaking changes

- Added the `Observable` type; replaced the `data_series` and `data_transforms`
fields in the model type definitions with
`observable_mappings::OrderedDict{Symbol, Observable}`, which is initialized
in `init_observable_mappings!`.
- `kalman_filter` has been broken out into
[StateSpaceRoutines.jl](https://github.com/FRBNY-DSGE/StateSpaceRoutines.jl).
- `estimate` now saves only parameter draws, not the associated state-space
matrices or the last filtered states for each draw.


# DSGE.jl v0.1.5 Release Notes

## New Features

- Added Model 1002, an updated version of Model 990.
- Added documentation for Model 1002 at docs/DSGE_Model_Documentation_1002.pdf.
This pdf includes an overview of the economic theory underlying the model, a

and more.

## Deprecation Fixes

- Optim.jl's `MultivariateOptimizationResults` type requires `f_increased` field
- `MersenneTwister` must be constructed with a seed


# DSGE.jl v0.1.4 Release Notes

## New Features

- Gensys no longer throws an error when system is indeterminate;
instead, a warning is printed to the screen.

## Bug Fixes

- Fix `OptimizationTrace` constructor according to Optim v0.6. See #6.
