v0.38.10

DynamicPPL v0.38.10

Diff since v0.38.9

returned(model, chain) and pointwise_logdensities(model, chain) will now error if a value for a random variable cannot be found in the chain.
(Previously, they would instead resample such variables, which could lead to silent mistakes.)

If you encounter this error and it is accompanied by a warning about hasvalue not being implemented, you should be able to fix this by using FlexiChains instead of MCMCChains.
(Alternatively, implementations of hasvalue for unsupported distributions are more than welcome; these must be provided in the Distributions extension of AbstractPPL.jl.)
