ffnet-0.8.3 has been released. In this version we switched to LGPL. Only minor updates in code are performed, no API changes are made. Along with this version, new graphical user interface ffnetui-0.8.3.x is released under GPL-3 licence. ffnetui needs python-2.7.

ffnet version 0.7 has been released and is available for download at https://sourceforge.net/projects/ffnet. This release contains couple of important changes:

  • neural network can be trained now using the power of multi-processor systems (see example mptrain.py)
  • attributes which are necessary for calculation of network derivatives are now generated only on demand;
  • data normalization limits are not changed when retrainig with new data set; net.renormalize = True have to be set first;
  • compatibility with newest versions of numpy, scipy and networkx is enhanced;
  • support for export to java and drawing network with drawffnet is dropped.

Basic API is left almost untouched. Exactly the same trainig scripts as for older versions should work without problems.

ffnet version 0.6.2 is released and is available for download at https://sourceforge.net/projects/ffnet/files. This release contains minor enhancements and compatibility improvements:

  • ffnet works now with >=networkx-0.99;
  • neural network can be called now with 2D array of inputs, it also returns numpy array instead of python list;
  • readdata function is now alias to numpy.loadtxt;
  • docstrings are improved.

New release of ffnet is coming. It will resolve, among others, compatibility problem with the newest versions of networkx. Until then (if you run into this compatibility problem) you can try to download and install ffnet from its svn repository. Direct link to the trunk:

ffnet 0.6.1 released! Source packages, Gentoo ebuilds and Windows binaries are available for download at:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffnet

This is mainly bugfix release.

New features:

  • added ‘readdata’ function (simplifies reading training data from ASCII files)

Changes & bug fixes:

  • fixed bug preventing ffnet form working with scipy-0.6
  • importing ffnet doesn’t need matplotlib now (really)
  • corrections in fortran code generators
01/10/2007
The maintance release 0.6.1 is planned in the nearest feature, as the new version of scipy (0.6) has been released. Unfortunately new scipy has one, but important, incompatibility with ffnet. Currently, if you need ffnet fully working with scipy-0.6 you need to download svn version.
22/03/2007

ffnet 0.6 released! Source packages, Gentoo ebuilds and Windows binaries are now available for download at:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffnet

Changes since 0.5 version:

New features:

  • trained network can be now exported to fortran source code and compiled
  • added new architecture generator (imlgraph)
  • added rprop training algorithm
  • added draft network plotting facility (based on networkx and matplotlib)

Changes & bug fixes:

  • fixed bug preventing ffnet form working with networkx-0.33
  • training data can be now numpy arrays
  • ffnet became a package now, but API should be compatibile with previous version

Documentation:

  • docstrings of all objects have been improved
  • docs (automatically generated with epydoc) are avilable online and have been included to source distribution
