\section faq_excel What's the difference between QuantLibXL and QuantLibAddin?
+ The name QuantLibXL was originally applied to an Excel addin which supplemented
+ QuantLib releases 0.3.3 through 0.3.8. That project was discontinued.
+
+ All %QuantLibAddin releases have included an Excel addin. Beginning with
+ %QuantLibAddin version 0.3.13, the QuantLibXL name has been resurrected and
+ given to the %QuantLibAddin build for the Excel platform. The
+ %QuantLibAddin/QuantLibXL projects are structured as follows:
+ - <a href="http://www.quantlibxl.org">http://www.quantlibxl.org</a> -
+ A compiled, documented Excel addin, for end business users
+ - <a href="http://www.quantlibaddin.org">http://www.quantlibaddin.org</a> -
+ Core project, for people who are interested in
+ - compiling %QuantLibAddin/QuantLibXL from source code
+ - implementations of %QuantLibAddin on platforms other than Excel, such
+ as OpenOffice.org Calc
+
+ The table below summarizes the differences between the old QuantLibXL project
+ versus the new %QuantLibAddin project, including the Excel addin which has taken
+ over the QuantLibXL name:
+
