• Much faster simulation (SIM), both Gauss and Newton
• Faster model loading (MODEL statement), because known models are cached on the hard disk. A known model loads about eight times faster than before
• Model signatures (hash codes) are introduced. See SIGN command
• Model blocks are supported (can be used when doing 'Check residuals')
• Forward-looking models (endogenous with leads) can be solved with Fair-Taylor algorithm (many options to control this)
• New .tsdx format version 1.1. This version is binary, and about three times faster to load than version 1.0. Default databank format is now .tsdx instead of .tsd
• FOR loop improvements. You can now loop over DATEs and VALs, too
• IF statement improved to allow OR, AND and NOT, and with comparisons ('
