Feedback on new release of quantlib

Tim Müller-Seydlitz

Hi,

I very much welcome the new 0.4.0 release. An impressive step has been made.
But it doesn't help to launch a firework in the cellar. Therefore, I think that
the marketing needs to be improved.

Here are some little things that should be changed:

- The main page quantlib.org does not hold any information on this important update.
- http://quantlib.org/reference/history.html does not contain the changes. So
- http://quantlib.org/download.shtml needs to be updated.
- Synchronization with quantlibxl? How are both projects synchronized? How are
versions compatible? What can be done in the mean time?

Regards
Tim

Thanks. Also, let me thank in turn all users and developers which made
it possible.

I agree---especially since we're planning to release version 1.0 by the
end of the year. I'll try and follow up on this shortly.

I'm aware of this. Unfortunately, Sourceforge had hardware problems and
was forced to shut down shell access since last week. Thus, it is not
possible for me to update the web site at this time. Hopefully, the
access should be back in a couple of days.

We branched for release at about the same time, so I guess Eric is
packaging QuantLibXL 0.4.0 as we speak. I'll let him answer this one
though.

Later,

I'm packaging QuantLibXL 0.4.0 as you speak :-)

Each QuantLib release is followed by a QuantLibXL release with the
same version number.  Different versions of QL/QLXL are not
compatible.

Eric
