Yes, we know:

edd@sonny:~/debian> ls -oh libquantlib0_0.3.2.20030727-1_i386.deb Ready/libquantlib0_0.3.1-1_i386.deb
-rw-r--r--    1 edd          556k Jan 28  2003 Ready/libquantlib0_0.3.1-1_i386.deb
-rw-r--r--    1 edd         1002k Jul 27 23:00 libquantlib0_0.3.2.20030727-1_i386.deb

Also caught me by suprise when I looked at the size of the example binaries:

edd@sonny:~/debian> ls -oh quantlib-examples_0.3.2.20030727-1_i386.deb Ready/quantlib-examples_0.3.1-1_i386.deb
-rw-r--r--    1 edd          245k Jan 28  2003 Ready/quantlib-examples_0.3.1-1_i386.deb
-rw-r--r--    1 edd          703k Jul 27 23:01 quantlib-examples_0.3.2.20030727-1_i386.deb

At first I thought I had them built statically :-) but it "merely" is a lot
of new code.

This will be a mighty fine release.  BTW, all the Debian packages on all the
architectures built fine for the golden master from last month:

-- QuantLib itself was built on ten additional architectures by July 29
   http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?pkg=quantlib

-- QL-Python and QL-Ruby, which I uploaded a few days later, also built fine:
   http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?pkg=quantlib-python
   (and I just re-uploaded these to make the python 2.2 -> 2.3 transition)
   http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?pkg=quantlib-ruby
   (this seems to have failed with a timeout on mips as the build daemon
   was too impatient)
