# bimets 4.0.1

Jun. 2024

* added support to forward-looking rational expectations models, i.e. `TSLEAD` function now available for use in `MDL` model description
* added new indexing methods, see `BIMETS Indexing` in reference manual
* improved `print.BIMETS_MODEL` and `summary.BIMETS_MODEL`
* improved verbose management in `SIMULATE`, `STOCHSIMULATE`, `OPTIMIZE`, `RENORM`
* fixed bug in `LOAD_MODEL` in case of duplicated coefficient name in `MDL` linear restriction
* added global attribute `BIMETS_VERSION`: models built with an outdated `bimets` version must be re-created via the `LOAD_MODEL()` function
* fixed bug in `SIMULATE` with `BackFill` active and `BIMETS_CONF_CCT` set to `XTS`
* added `ConstantAdjustmentRESCHECK` output attribute in `SIMULATE` of type `RESCHECK` 
* fixed bug in `MDL` equations' LHS syntax check and in related error messages: having multiple but similar LHS functions in the same equation now throws an error in `LOAD_MODEL`
* added `ignoreNA` argument in `MOVAVG`, `MOVSUM`, `CUMSUM`, `CUMPROD`
* optimized compliance check and reduced execution time in `SIMULATE`
* fixed bug in `SIMULATE` in `JacobianDrop` argument error message
