+- Fixes a bug in make_figs arising from the metadata argument being incompatible with jpg. [#1386](https://github.com/econ-ark/HARK/pull/1386)
+- Reverts behavior of the repr method of the Model class, so that long strings aren't generated. Full description is available with describe(). [#1390](https://github.com/econ-ark/HARK/pull/1390)

 - Adds `HARK.core.AgentPopulation` class to represent a population of agents with ex-ante heterogeneous parametrizations as distributions. [#1237](https://github.com/econ-ark/HARK/pull/1237)
 - Adds `HARK.core.Parameters` class to represent a collection of time varying and time invariant parameters in a model. [#1240](https://github.com/econ-ark/HARK/pull/1240)
 - Adds `HARK.simulation.monte_carlo` module for generic Monte Carlo simulation functions using Python model configurations. [1296](https://github.com/econ-ark/HARK/pull/1296)

 - Adds option `sim_common_Rrisky` to control whether risky-asset models draw common or idiosyncratic returns in simulation. [#1250](https://github.com/econ-ark/HARK/pull/1250),[#1253](https://github.com/econ-ark/HARK/pull/1253)
 - Addresses [#1255](https://github.com/econ-ark/HARK/issues/1255). Makes age-varying stochastic returns possible and draws from their discretized version. [#1262](https://github.com/econ-ark/HARK/pull/1262)

 - Updates `IndexDstn`, introducing the option to use an existing RNG instead of creating a new one, and creating and storing all the conditional distributions at initialization. [1104](https://github.com/econ-ark/HARK/pull/1104)

 - Reorganizes `HARK.distribution`. All distributions now inherit all features from `scipy.stats`. New `ContinuousFrozenDistribution` and `DiscreteFrozenDistribution` to use `scipy.stats` distributions not yet implemented in HARK. New `Distribution.discretize(N, method = "***")` replaces `Distribution.approx(N)`. New `DiscreteDistribution.limit` attribute describes continuous origin and discretization method. [#1197](https://github.com/econ-ark/HARK/pull/1197).
 - Creates new class of _labeled_ models under `ConsLabeledModel` that use xarray for more expressive modeling of underlying mathematical and economics variables. [#1177](https://github.com/econ-ark/HARK/pull/1177)
