  • Add stan::model::model_base base class and and stan::model::model_crtp static adapter class for constructing models. (#2785)
  • Allow ts and t0 to be parameters, complete ode_test, and extend the integrate_ode_* stan models (#2791)

Other

  • Defer to Eigen's copy constructor now for assignment ( faster matrix assign ) (#2784)
