Hi!
We're delighted to announce version 1.0.1 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.
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, so we think any advanced
spreadsheet user who's willing to take a few minutes to pick up some
basic IronPython will be able to do fun stuff with it :-)
This is primarily a performance enhancement and bugfix release, but
has a couple of features correcting the more egregious missing
features in version 1.0. We've put up a full change list, but the
highlights are:
* Many memory usage and performance fixes, in particular while
importing Excel-format spreadsheets.
* Updated to IronPython 1.1.1 (fixes socket bugs)
* Added UI to set the background color.
* Fixed defect 367 - Looking up cells by header row/col is slow
* Fixed defect 370 - Cut and Copy part of the text in a cell is
not handled correctly
If you want to download the non-commercial version of the software, or
to buy the commercial version, you can download it from our website
