ANN: Resolver One 1.1 released

We're delighted to announce version 1.1 of Resolver One, a Windows
spreadsheet/IDE mashup that can be programmed in IronPython.

As you enter formulae on the grid, it writes the equivalent computer
program for you, using the IronPython language. As you add your own
IronPython code, the grid is updated. This allows you to build
applications that are much more complex but better-structured than a
traditional spreadsheet, much more quickly than you could if you were
using a regular programming language. You can then export the code
and re-use it elsewhere in your own programs.

There's a one-minute screencast about it here:



It's primarily targetted at heavy users of number-crunching software,
such as financial firms and the biotech industry, but we use it
internally for all kinds of tasks; we think any advanced spreadsheet
user who's willing to take a few minutes to pick up some basic
IronPython will be able to start creating better spreadsheets within
minutes.

For version 1.1, we’ve made quite a lot of the changes suggested by
our users, hopefully making the program more responsive and pleasant
to use - as well as adding cool new features. Some of the highlights:

* Significant improvements to performance and memory usage.
* Cutting and pasting is now more "spreadsheet-like".
* Auto-indent in the code editor.
* Better coverage of standard spreadsheet functions.
* Comments in cells.
* For the financial edition, we've added Thomson Dataworks
Enterprise connectivity and a number of great enhancements to
Bloomberg access.

We’ve put together a three-minute screencast outlining all these
changes:



It's free for non-commercial use (and quite cheap for commercial use),
so if you would like to take a look, you can download it from our
website (free registration required):



Best regards,

Giles
