Some of you might not have noticed that we have a built-in #issue reporter in #NumeRe, so consider this a periodic reminder.

If you have a #feature request or experience some troubles, just use the "Report a problem or a feature request" (for you, the GUI will most likely in English) menu option in the help menu. That will open up a dialog window, where you can enter any details necessary for understanding your inquiry. Our bot will then create the issue for you right in our #Github repo

BTW: the #installers via #winget were redirected to #GitHub. This should enhance the download speed a lot.

The mirrors at @sourceforge were not reliable yesterday (only one was available) resulting in painful slow download speeds here in Europ. It is imperative that this is not acceptable one day after a new #release.

At least the standard #NumeRe #installer is now available via #winget.

There seem to be problems with the portable one, which we do not really understand, because the contents of both installers are identical, only the installation process is different with the standard one requiring elevation.

The publication of the #NumeRe #release to #winget takes again some time, as they seem to have problems with our installer - which should work perfectly fine - at least it does on our various testing machines.

Do you experience any troubles? Please let us know!

Using the new matrices in #NumeRe, some calculations are now also getting faster like the #flame #fractal below.

What are the major features in this release?

- We moved all matrix operations into the standard calculation and deprecated `matop`
- #NumeRe is now #Unicode aware and handles that by encoding all strings and files using #UTF8

WE DID IT!

Finally, after many months of waiting, we published a new #release of #NumeRe this morning: https://www.numere.org/home/releases#h.2zto4ol8vozo

The binary can be downloaded from Github or SourceForge. We comitted a new manifest to winget, but the PR has not been merged right now, so you need to be patient here.

With the next #release candidate of #NumeRe we will also ship three new example scripts showing

- how general binary files can be read

- how one can translate C file structures into NumeRe code during file import and

- how #JSON files can be traversed using DictStruct instances.

The next two days are reserved for #Nightly tests of #NumeRe on a non-dev machine. We're doing this to ensure that as much bugs are detected as possible

We all know that catching all bugs is not even remotely possible...

We just completed the tests regarding the new deeply integrated matrix calculation mode for #NumeRe (making `matop` obsolete).

The tests for a few new object methods are also completed so as the tests for standard maths functions.

One major change will be the total switch to UTF-8 encoding for all files. Note that this will affect you, if your used non-ASCII characters within your files.

We have a poll for your!

What do you prefer as update cycles?

How do you like the following outputs of matrices. Can you notice that one of the matrices is an higher-order tensor?

#NumeRe #Matrix #maths

@ataustin Don't think that's necessary. She will most probably use some nicely written #NumeRe code to analyze the data later 😉

@mirsadra we are writing #NumeRe in C++.

@hackaday #NumeRe is also a good alternative, much like GNU Octave and @LabPlot it comes with many features already built-in, but also provides a powerful programming language.

Fun fact, we've also written a blog post about when NumeRe is the better spreadsheet: https://en.numere.org/home/blog/when-numere-is-the-better-spreadsheet

@alternativeto mentiones some of the main new features brought to you with the current #release of #NumeRe called v1.1.7 "Chandrasekhar"

Take a look at: https://alternativeto.net/news/2025/8/numere-1-1-7-brings-new-array-email-and-encoding-functions/

The #Chandrasekhar limit does not influence this new #release of #NumeRe, besides being this version's namesake. It's only about the mass of white dwarfs.

Get the unlimited release via winget or directly at GitHub (https://github.com/numere-org/NumeRe/releases/tag/v1.1.7.2508) or SourceForge (https://sourceforge.net/projects/numere/files/v1.1.7.2508/)

We've made it! Find the current #release of #NumeRe v1.1.7 "Chandrasekhar" at https://github.com/numere-org/NumeRe/releases/tag/v1.1.7.2508

The upcoming #NumeRe #release will provide a lot of major changes. One notable addition will be the first built-in #objects to compose complex hierarchical #datastructures

And if you didn't follow us through the #beta and release candidate phase be prepared for a really huge set of changes.

Finally! We are close to releasing the new stable version v1.1.7 of #NumeRe. It will happen this month, this week and most probably in the next few days. Stay tuned!

Yesterday evening, we published a new #release of #NumeRe! The new release candidate brings more than 60 changes and a lot of improvements. Check it out here: https://en.numere.org/home/releases

Just a qick reminder that we've published another blog article about in which cases #NumeRe is the better #spreadsheet app:

https://en.numere.org/home/blog/when-numere-is-the-better-spreadsheet

@thibaultmol @libreoffice

We've published another blog article about in which cases #NumeRe is the better #spreadsheet app:

https://en.numere.org/home/blog/when-numere-is-the-better-spreadsheet

@libreoffice We still see people recommending Excel and throwing around those "Excel tools" (aka spreadsheets with some formulas).

Please stop endorsing spreadsheet apps for anything else than spreadsheets. Better use applications for numerical computations like #NumeRe or #R, which produce understandable, mainainable and debuggable solutions.

Cheers everyone! That's just a very early idea, but if we would set up a regular webinar focusing on and around #NumeRe, would you like to join it?

@OpenSciTwente @LabPlot We are responsible for our own solution #NumeRe. We are not using Labplot but we appreciate that those guys are considering our application as an inspiration. Thanks for that!

Quick reminder that you can now request features and report bugs directly in #NumeRe. Just use the corresponding menu item in the help menu. There is no need for a #Github account any more, but giving us a contact possibility is greatly appreciated. 😃

Random quick reminder: #NumeRe is still completely #AI bullshit free. It only features some sort of #machinelearning called usual #nonlinear #fitting

As we promised a few days ago: here is our new #release of #NumeRe! This time, it is an actual beta release due to the major internal changes, so be warned! A "full" release candidate will be published next year and the actual full release a little bit later.

https://github.com/numere-org/NumeRe/releases/tag/v1.1.7.2412

#MerryXMas, everyone! We wish you all the best and a good next year 2025!

A quick spoiler: there's still a #release of #NumeRe in the pipeline for 2024.

There are chances that you'll get at least an initial version of #conditional #breakpoints with the next #release of #NumeRe. Initial tests were successful, but we haven't already tested all relevant scenarios. **Fingers crossed**

We made our first try to #simulate an #Euler #fluid within #NumeRe. Runs pretty well and displays also the expected Kármán vortex street.
