Update/Release Schedule??
After a flurry of activity, the new version releases seemed to have settled in the last month or so. Is there any intended schedule for releases and what functions you plan to include in them? This could even be on a very broad basis such as Month & Year or Quarter & Year.
I'm particularly interested in hearing of any progres on the economic utility maximization function that's been mentioned in the Monte Carlo forum as far back as a year ago.
Any insight you can provide would be appreciated.

Joe,
The utility maximization is on hold pending funding. There are a few small features due out "real soon now", mostly things like the ability to specify the sex of individuals, e.g., same sex couples or singles, time varying inflation, etc. Nothing too major. The other reason that you haven't seen a whole lot of updates is that there haven't been a whole lot of problems reported and those that have been have been fixed. We don't have a formal update cycle, typically we repair bugs and release updates as quickly as possible which implies (generally), no problems not many updates.
Best,
Dick Munroe
