  - computation of irf now in C++
  - makes use of parallel computing via RcppParallel
  - additional argument with 'shockinfo'
- two new functions: get_shockinfo() and add_shockinfo() as helper function for designing shockinfo argument in irf computation
- introduction of 'expert' settings to reduce number of arguments in main functions (bgvar and irf)
- conditional predictions now possible within predict function
- synchronization of parameter names with accompanied paper
- minor bug fixes

Change in Version 2.1.4
- updated backends of new 'stochvol' package
