DEAP release 1.0.0

[Félix-Antoine Fortin]

Dear ECers, 

After more than 4 years of development, we are proud to announce the 

release of DEAP 1.0.0. You can download a copy of this release at the 

following web page. 

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/deap

DEAP (Distributed Evolutionary Algorithms in Python) is a novel evolutionary 

computation framework for rapid prototyping and testing of ideas. Its design 

departs from most other existing frameworks in that it seeks to make algorithms 

explicit and data structures transparent, as opposed to the more common black 

box type of frameworks.

To get to know more about DEAP and the current release, we invite you

to read the most recent article on DEAP published in SIGEvolution volume 6, 

issue 2, pp. 17-26.

http://sigevolution.org/

An IPython notebook version of the article is also available.

This release includes:

    - Major overhaul of statistics computing and logging;

    - Ability to do Object Oriented Genetic Programming (OOGP);

    - Symbolic regression benchmarks for GP;

    - New tutorials and better documentation;

    - Several new examples from diverse fields;

    - and several other changes.

Every changes of this release are detailed in the documentation.

To help users translate code from 0.9.x to 1.0.0, we have also written

a new porting guide that details every change required to use DEAP 1.0.

Thought I would let any Gentoo users out there know that recently DEAP
made it into Gentoo's main portage tree. I contacted the maintainer and
he bumped the version AND added a SCOOP ebuild, and all that has made it
into the main tree sometime earlier today...

Cheers! Good work!!!

Can you please expand upon your bullet on the "Ability to do Object Oriented Genetic Programming (OOGP);", I am unable to find anything on it in the 1.0.0 documentation.

Thanks!

Jason

We replaced the string definition of type in GP by classes. This gave us the ability to check for subclassing when applying type constraints. So it is now possible to have a primitive or a terminal that returns a float be the argument of another primitive which takes an argument of the class object.
