Hi -

This is currently being addressed in our Math library. See https://github.com/stan-dev/math/issues/2474 for the issue and https://github.com/stan-dev/math/pull/2583 for the attempt to upgrade. Once we have all our existing tests passing we will update

@WardBrian Do we have any target date for this 3.4 upgrade? Thanks.

WardBrian commented 2 years ago

@RajalakshmiSR No, we do not have a target date. It will be upgraded as soon as we are able to integrate it without existing behavior changing. At the moment this means it will not be upgraded until one of the developers is able to volunteer the time needed to find the remaining issues.
