We’re happy to announce the release of Resolver One 1.8! As always, you can download it here.

The big news in version 1.8 is that it supports IronPython 2.6. This not only supports the improved Python 2.6 syntax, but also adds some significant performance improvements, and makes the whole application much “snappier”. It’s well worth trying just for that, but we’ve also added a bunch of other useful features:

• A new workbook property RecalculateAfter, which if set in user code triggers another recalculation after the given number of seconds.
• Support for new statistics functions: NORMDIST, NORMSDIST, ERF and ERFC.
• A new GetExternalWorkbook function to import Microsoft Excel .xls files from user code.
• Various other functions that we were missing for compatibility with other spreadsheet applications.
• And, of course, a number of bugfixes and performance enhancements.

If you want more details, here is a full list of every change in this release.

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