Data loading speedups
Orange has been loading data faster since the end of February, especially if there are many attributes in the file. Quick comparisons between the old new versions, measured on my computer: adult.tab (32561 examples, 15 attributes): old version = 1.41s, new version = 0.86s. DLBCL.tab (77 examples, 7071 attributes): old version = 2.72s, new version = 0.93s. GDS1962.tab (104 examples, 31837 attributes): old version = 33.5s, new version = 6.6s.

Biolab retreat Februar 2011
From Wednesday, 2nd February 2011, to Saturday, 5th February 2011, we have been on working retreat at Lake Bohinj. The whole Bioinformatics Laboratory of the Faculty of Computer and Information technology has temporary moved to a nice house just few meters from the lake, enjoing the nature and without any distractions. Plan: working on the next version of Orange, Orange 2.5 and documentation rewrite. Orange 2.5 will have a better and restructured Python scripting interface along with great and shinny documentation.

Debian repository lives!
We have made still-experimental-but-probably-working Debian repository with daily built Orange packages. Currently without add-ons. To get access to those packages just add those two lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list (this file contains a list of repositories with packages): deb http://orange.biolab.si/debian lenny main deb-src http://orange.biolab.si/debian lenny main And then you can install Orange with this command: aptitude update aptitude install orange-svn Packages are not signed as they are made automatically so you will probably be warned about this.
