We are pleased to announce the release of Resolver One, version 1.1. We’ve made quite a lot of changes, 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”.
• For the financial edition, we’ve added Thomson Dataworks Enterprise connectivity and a number of great enhancements to Bloomberg access.
• Better coverage of standard spreadsheet functions.
• Auto-indent in the code editor.
• Comments in cells.

We’ve put together a three-minute screencast outlining all these changes, and there is also a full list of every change in this release.

As always, you can download the software from our downloads page.

Don’t forget, we have forums to discuss and ask questions about Resolver One, and there is documentation too.

We’ve uploaded another screencast: Here, Tom Wright shows some of the more interesting things that can be done using Python lists in your spreadsheet.

This uses the new ContentRows property to be released in the latest version of Resolver One.

We’ve uploaded a new screencast, in which Christian Muirhead demonstrates how Resolver One’s user-defined python functions can be used to produce more adaptable spreadsheets.

You can view it on the Resolver Systems website here or on YouTube at a lower resolution,

We’re now moving toward a feature freeze for Resolver One 1.1. Here’s a foretaste of some of the changes you can expect to see:

• Major performance and memory usage improvements.
• Improved cut - when you cut and paste a block, formulae that refer to cells in the block are updated appropriately.
• Comments for cells.
• Simple auto-indentation in the code editor.
• For the financial edition, we’ve added Thomson Dataworks Enterprise connectivity and a number of great enhancements to Bloomberg access.
• ContentRows and ContentCols iterators on worksheets and cell ranges so that you don’t have to keep checking for the header.
• The CopyRange function can now sort the data as it copies.
• HLOOKUP, TODAY, ISNUMBER, ISBLANK, NOW, and ABS functions
• And lots of minor tweaks and bugfixes.

We’re looking forward to releasing it!
