This page documents incompatibilities accross MATLAB versions. For each MATLAB release, it gives the main changes appearing in that release and that Dynare needs to handle.

Note that all changes are not documented, please refer to the official release notes for a full list: for releases up to 6.5.1 (R13SP1), and for releases since 7.0 (R14).

Dynare deals with these incompatibilities at three places:

  • in the configure script, via the various m4 macros for MATLAB

  • in the M-files, mainly through matlab/dynare_config.m

  • in the C++ source for MEX files, mainly through dynmex.h, dynblas.h and dynlapack.h in mex/sources
