Reduced the dimension of the problem in the unitary test for cycle_reduction and logarithmic_reduction routines.
Renamed tests/ep/linear.mod as tests/ep/linearmodel.mod to avoid conflict with matlab's system identification toolbox.
Bug fix (max function not yet implemented for dseries objects).
Fix bug introduced in 8b1e76a1bfcca7908ad78efebde6dfb1480da4cd.

The unitary tests file was renamed, but his output file wasn't.
Fix test/Makefile.am following 8f8bfe6c.
Update README.md
Remove spurious executable permission
Minor fix to release announcement.
Transposed the definition of the innovations in (stochastic) extended path routine, so that, for a given state of the random number generator, stochastic simulations obtained with extended_path and stoch_simul commands consider the same innovations (when the number of shocks is greater than one). Otherwise the stochastic simulations cannot be compared.
ms-sbvar: submodule update
ms-sbvar: add confirm_recursive_rmdir
parallel: add local switch to confirm_recursive_rmdir
clean up file

* remove comment as rmdir with 's' option is Octave (not Windows) specific
* remove val as it's not used
* take confirm_recursive_rmdir out of for loop to avoid unnecessary resetting of the value
Fixed bug (options_.subdraws does not exist).
Use options_.prior_draws in posteriorIRF.
Closes #567.
Document default for new option posterior_max_subsample_draws.
Fix bug in deterministic conditional forecast.

The type of the first shock was not set according to the user request.
Concretely, it would be random, and almost always a perfect foresight shock.
Added new option for perfect foresight simulations (sim1 routine, available only with stack_solve_algo==0).

Try to reduce the size of the nonlinear system of equations by skipping the (last) periods for wich the residuals are
already (almost) zero. The number of periods is not constant during the Newton, the effective number of periods for
each iteration of the Newton is available in oo_.deterministic_simulation.vperiods.
Document new option (endogenous_terminal_period).
