Hi all
it has been quiet on the list, even if there has been a huge number of
commit into the cvs repository. I understand that having 6 active
developers in RiskMap have trapped many design discussions inside our
office, and I commit to have a more open approach in the following months.
QuantLib probably needs more frequent releases, but the problems
experienced with Sourceforge stopped the release process. We plan a new
release by the end of March, which will include all the latest works.
I hope the new release will significantly enlarge our user base.
We're doing some consulting for an Italian bank: their quants are the only
non-RiskMap users I know of.
If you're using QuantLib (or plan to use it), please get in touch.
We at RiskMap will try to summarize in the next weeks all the new addition
and improvements of the last months, and we will provide updated documentation.
Many people subscribed to the list (we reached 50 subscribers): I urge all
interested people to use this list to make proposals, requests,
suggestions, etc.
I will try to be as responsive as possible.
In the last months the development has been focused mainly on basic
building blocks, anyway as Patrick Henaff suggested it would be useful to
publish a white paper describing the object model for trades, instruments,
market data and models.
I still have to do my homework (starting with few chapters of Martin
Fowler's book, "Analysis Patterns"), but if someone as a proposal please
submit it.
ciao -- Nando
