+Version 0.10.0.dev1  
+Release Notes  
+
+# Introduction
+
+This document contains the release notes for the 0.10.dev1 version of HARK. HARK aims to produce an open source repository of highly modular, easily interoperable code for solving, simulating, and estimating dynamic economic models with heterogeneous agents.
+
+For more information on HARK, see [our Github organization](https://github.com/econ-ark).

+## Changes
+
+### 0.10.0.dev1
+
+Release Date: 04-12-2019
+
+#### Major Changes
+
+* Adds [tools](https://github.com/econ-ark/HARK/blob/master/HARK/dcegm.py) to solve problems that arise from the interaction of discrete and continuous variables, using the [DCEGM](https://github.com/econ-ark/DemARK/blob/master/notebooks/DCEGM-Upper-Envelope.ipynb) method of [Iskhakov et al.](https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.3982/QE643), who apply the their discrete-continuous solution algorithm to the problem of optimal endogenous retirement; their results are replicated using our new tool [here](https://github.com/econ-ark/REMARK/blob/master/REMARKs/EndogenousRetirement/Endogenous-Retirement.ipynb). ([226](https://github.com/econ-ark/HARK/pull/226))
+* Parameters of ConsAggShockModel.CobbDouglasEconomy.updateAFunc and ConsAggShockModel.CobbDouglasMarkovEconomy.updateAFunc that govern damping and the number of discarded 'burn-in' periods were previously hardcoded, now proper instance-level parameters. ([244](https://github.com/econ-ark/HARK/pull/244))
+* Improve accuracy and performance of functions for evaluating the integrated value function and conditional choice probabilities for models with extreme value type I taste shocks. ([242](https://github.com/econ-ark/HARK/pull/242))
+* Add calcLogSum, calcChoiceProbs, calcLogSumChoiceProbs to HARK.interpolation. ([209](https://github.com/econ-ark/HARK/pull/209), [217](https://github.com/econ-ark/HARK/pull/217))
+* Create tool to produce an example "template" of a REMARK based on SolvingMicroDSOPs. ([176](https://github.com/econ-ark/HARK/pull/176))
+
+#### Minor Changes
+
+* Moved old utilities tests. ([245](https://github.com/econ-ark/HARK/pull/245))
+* Deleted old files related to "cstwMPCold". ([239](https://github.com/econ-ark/HARK/pull/239))
+* Set numpy floating point error level to ignore. ([238](https://github.com/econ-ark/HARK/pull/238))
+* Fixed miscellaneous imports. ([212](https://github.com/econ-ark/HARK/pull/212), [224](https://github.com/econ-ark/HARK/pull/224), [225](https://github.com/econ-ark/HARK/pull/225))
+* Improve the tests of buffer stock model impatience conditions in IndShockConsumerType. ([219](https://github.com/econ-ark/HARK/pull/219))
+* Add basic support for Travis continuous integration testing. ([208](https://github.com/econ-ark/HARK/pull/208))
+* Add SciPy to requirements.txt. ([207](https://github.com/econ-ark/HARK/pull/207))
+* Fix indexing bug in bilinear interpolation. ([194](https://github.com/econ-ark/HARK/pull/194))
+* Update the build process to handle Python 2 and 3 compatibility. ([172](https://github.com/econ-ark/HARK/pull/172))
+* Add MPCnow attribute to ConsGenIncProcessModel. ([170](https://github.com/econ-ark/HARK/pull/170))
+* All standalone demo files have been removed. The content that was in these files can now be found in similarly named Jupyter notebooks in the DEMARK repository. Some of these notebooks are also linked from econ-ark.org.  ([229](https://github.com/econ-ark/HARK/pull/229), [243](https://github.com/econ-ark/HARK/pull/243))
