    Hi,

    I am considering to start use Blitz++ in my current software project. I see that the latest released version is quite old, but there seems to be quite a lot of development activity. Is there a new release planned soon? What is the current status of the development version?

    Dear Magnus,

    we are glad that you considering to use blitz++ in your project. For now, please use the CVS version; until we release a 0.10 version, which should be out in the next 2 months.

    Hi!

    Your two months are up!

    Just kidding, of course! :-p

    Anyway, it seems that users of 0.9 are often (and rightly) advised to upgrade to the Mercurial version. However, Debian has 0.9, so that will keep many at 0.9. If there is not soon a 0.10, perhaps it is a good idea to ask the Debian maintaners to package a Mercurial version? I could submit a wishlist report at Debian asking for the Mercurial version, if you want?

    Then that would probably "trickle down" to Ubuntu, because it seems that they are using the Debian package as a basis for theirs.

    It looks like the last code commits were in 2012. Is this project orphaned? If so, would you suggest any alternatives? Thanks.

      try the Armadillo C++ library: http://arma.sourceforge.net

    This is a little late of a reply. I would recommend suing blitz++. The project doesn’t have much activity, but the baseline that is present is stable and functional. There are also a number of small patches posted to the blitz-support mailing list.
