Version 0.3.0 of the Watchmaker Framework for Evolutionary Computation is now available for download. The release includes several refinements to the API, one major bug fix (for Roulette Wheel Selection), and a new example program based on the first exercise in An Introduction to Genetic Algorithms.
This release can be considered the first stable release of the framework. There ought to be no major bugs and it is unlikely that any changes will be made to the API that will break backwards compatibility prior to the 1.0 release.
There are more features to be added (including support for GP and distributed fitness evaluations) before the framework is ready for its 1.0 release.
As always, I’m keen to receive suggestions for improvements and new features.
