Re: [Quantlib-dev] QuantLibXL status

[Eric E. <eri...@re...>]

Hi Fabrice,

Many thanks for your understanding.  I am grateful for contributions to 
the old & new projects on the repos mentioned, on both of those repos I 
have received contributions which will be included in the next releases 
respectively.  I hope for the new build to supercede the old one, I set 
up regression tests to prove that the new build returns the same outputs 
as the old and so far those tests are ~80% successful.

Kind Regards,
Eric
