ObjectHandler and QuantLibAddin (and QuantLibXL)

[Ferdinando Ametrano-3]

Hi Eric

lately I haven't had time enough to catch up with your
ObjectHandler/QuantLibAddin development. I didn't have time to update
QuantLibXL for the 0.3.8 release, too.
I plan to catch up on both issues in January.

What would be your preferences for ObjectHandler/QuantLibAddin? Would it be
ok to plan for its first release? Could we have a January 0.3.8 release for
both QuantLibXL and QuantLibAddin?
[My opinion is that QuantLibAddin should replace QuantLibXL in the medium
term.]
We might even have an global 0.3.9 release in January

Are http://www.quantlib.org/quep/quep011.html and
http://www.quantlib.org/quep/quep012.html updated? Do you want me to
announce the QuEPs before any release of ObjectHandler and QuantLibAddin?

Let me know your preferences and let's get the ball rolling.

ciao -- Nando

I'm moving house next week, but will be working on this after that and
can have an ObjectHandler/QuantLibAddin release ready by the end of
January.

Cool!  I'm happy to help support QuantLibXL for as long as it's around.

I guess if that goes ahead then the first ObjectHandler/QuantLibAddin
release will simply be included in 0.3.9?

I've made some minor clarifications to the docs today and for me they're
done - please let me know if you want any further revisions.  You can
get all the html and images at
http://www.ehlers.plus.com/quantlib/quep11-12.zip
My preference would be for you to announce the docs and the release at
the same time once everything's ready.

yes this is my opinion.

ok, as long as it doesn't take too long. I think that early feedback could
help shaping the code...

Fair point - In that case I'm happy for you to announce/release
ObjectHandler/QuantLibAddin when you see fit.
