Candidate 0.9.0 tarballs

Luigi Ballabio

Hi all,
        candidate tarballs for the 0.9.0 release are available from
<http://quantlib.org/prerelease/>. If you have a few spare cycles,
please test them out---if no showstoppers are reported, they will be
released in time for Christmas.

Thanks,
        Luigi

What types of issues are you expecting?  

I put two of the candidates (Nov 27 and Dec 12) into Debian, and they passed
on almost all arches, see the bottom of this page
        http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?pkg=quantlib
The small arm architecture 'timed out' during the final link for the Dec 12
try, it passed  for Nov 27.  I suspect this to be a simple issue of lacking
horsepower.

None, I hope...

deficiencies.

Understood :)  We don't plan to release that breaks -- so let me rephrase:
What changed since the last candidates were released?  I.e. if everything
that changed pertains to VC$whatever I won't bother getting into this as
Linux behaviour looked pretty spotless to me the last time around.

Hope this makes more sense,  Dirk

There were a couple of bug fixes (you can look at the svn log if you're
interested) which were present on all platforms, but for some reasons
didn't manifest on Linux---for instance, there was an out-of-bound
access in the FittedBondCurve example which the program survived
unscathed. Needless to say, I'd advise including the fix in the package
:)

Hello,
 
compiled tarballs with Visual Studio 2003. Got 6 errors with piecewiseyieldcurve.cpp. The errors are on the border of tolerance, but there should be now errors with the testsuite, right?

Yes, I saw them too.  I've increased the tolerance a bit...

Thanks,
