pomp version 3.5 has been released to CRAN and will be available soon at a mirror near you. The main feature upgrade concerns the reproducibility functions bake and stew, which cache calculation results. In previous versions, if the calculation was modified, or if any of its dependencies changed, it was necessary to manually delete the cache file to force recomputation. In the new release, these functions now now silently cache information about the calculation and its dependencies. If these are modified, recomputation is triggered. In addition, the user now has more control over the information that is returned. See the package manual for more details.

This release also fixes a bug in bsmc2 and upgrades the partrans function to make it easier to use with objective functions.

See the package NEWS for full details.
