Re: [Quantlib-dev] QuantLibXL status

[Fabrice L. <fab...@qu...>]

Hi Eric,

Many thanks for your quick reply.
No need to apologize, I know all too well that real life as a tendency to
get in the way and a big project like this one (let alone 2!) is no doubt
very time consuming.
I see indeed in your repositories that you have more advanced branches than
master, I'll have a look at those.
I don't have anything planned for now, but do you take in contributions for
those projects?
Also, do you foresee the new build to replace the old one, and ultimately do
you plan to stop support of the old one?

Regards,
Fabrice

Hi Fabrice,

Thanks for getting in touch, and apologies for the confusion.

The old build is indeed overdue for a release.  I will have some time free
to work on that next weekend and will try to get a release candidate out. 
Here is the repo for the old build:

https://github.com/eehlers/QuantLibAddin-Old

Work on the new build was about 80% complete then I had to put it on hold
because of real life.  I will have a few days during the Christmas vacation
to work on that and will try to push it over the finish line. Here is the
documentation for compiling the new build from a git clone:

http://quantlib.org/reposit/docs/latest/build_git_swig_windows.html

That document refers to the master branches of each of the relevant repos
but in fact the v1.8.x branches are more up to date.

Kind Regards,
Eric
