How can I report a bug?
If you found a bug, you can report it on the TIKAPP project site at SourceForge.net using this formular.
What features will be included in the next release?
Currently TIKAPP is developed on demand. Features (visualization, training algorithms, ...) are included when someone needs them. There is no roadmap that says: Conjugate gradient method within the next six month. One way to get an impression of what the next release will really contain, is to have a look at the API-reference of the current development branch.
The next release will probably be 0.3.0 and will contain at least the following new features:
- The Quickprop training algorithm.
- A complete rewrite of the Backprop training class.
- A matrix class (as a template implementation) with basic support for matrix operation (so far: addition, multiplication and determinant calculation)
Why do you use qmake as buildsystem?
This has mainly historic reasons. Earlier TIKAPP was a Qt-GUI application and so it was logical to use qmake as buildsystem. During development all neural network simulator functionality was put into a seperate library that no long depends on Qt. qmake remained as build system, because there was no need to change it. But feel free to send the patch, when you converted the buildsystem to autoconf/automake.
Can I get anonymous CVS access to the latest development version? OR What code is in the SourceForge CVS repository?
Unfortunately, no you can't. The CVS repository at SourceForge contains only the code of the old simulator GUI. We stopped using CVS in favor of Subversion. Because SourceForge does not provide subversion repositories yet, we have to use a repository on a 'private' server that is not available to the public.
