Hi all,

I am considering migrating from QLNet to QuantLib-SWIG and I'm wondering if it would be a wise decision.  You may remember that I published NQuantLib64 on NuGet a few months ago (https://www.nuget.org/packages/NQuantLib64), and before I make this move I would like to ask a few initial questions.

- About what percentage of QuantLib is usable via QuantLib-SWIG?

- If QuantLib is not 100% usable via QuantLib-SWIG, what are the fully, partially, and zero implemented features?

- Is there active development for QuantLib-SWIG by the QuantLib team, or are new features only added by request and/or community support?

- What is the lag between QuantLib releases and QuantLib-SWIG releases?

I've written some simple test projects pricing fixed rate bonds using QuantLib-SWIG (NQuantLib64) and it worked out well!  The thing is I may need access to more features in the future, and QLNet is quite limited in this regard.  If QuantLib-SWIG is well supported and feature-full, I would surely migrate.

Thanks,

Grant
