Folks,
Quantian 0.4.9.6 is now available on the U of Washington site at
http://www.analytics.washington.edu/downloads/quantian/ The U of Wisconsin
machine is currently out of commission but expected to be back in a few
days.
Changes in 0.4.9.6 are
-- Added parallel computing toolkits Lam (lam4, lam4-dev, lam-runtime) and
Mpich (mpich, libmpich1.0, mpich-common)
-- Added LaTeX support packages prosper, pdfscreen, and preview-latex
-- Added the lua language (lua50, liblua50, liblua50-dev, liblualib50)
-- Updated R and CRAN packages to the newest pre-1.9.0 snapshots
-- To make room, purge kdevelop, kdevelop-data and qt3-designer
-- Fixed /etc/ld.so.conf which has /lib, /usr/lib, /usr/local/lib entries
which majorly confuses Atlas library loading --- now SciPy passes all
regression tests which is nice.
Unless we find show stoppers, this could well be the final 0.4.9.* release
which we'd then release as 0.5 as well. Things should get vert exciting
with the new Knoppix 3.4 in a few weeks
I'll make a proper (longer) announcement this evening.
Dirk
