FET 5.13.0 FET is an evolutionary program (using a genetic algoritm) for automatically generating the timetable of a school, high-school or university. Features: * FET is free software (open source). You can freely use, copy, modify and re-distribute it, as GNU/GPL permits (but please consider a donation) * Localized to English, French, Catalan, Romanian, Malay, Polish, Turkish, Dutch, German, Hungarian and Macedonian (maybe incompletely) * Fully automatic generation algorithm, allowing also semi-automatic or manual allocation * Platform independent implementation, allowing running on GNU/Linux, Windows, Mac and any system that Qt supports * Powerful flexible modular xml format for the input file, allowing editing with an xml editor or by hand (besides FET) * Possibility to view the currently generated timetable without stopping the ongoing simulation * The resulted timetables are exported into xml and html formats * Very flexible students (pupils) structure, in years, groups and subgroups. FET allows overlapping years and groups and non-overlapping subgroups * Possibility to consider a weight (percentage) for each constraint * Maximum total number of hours (periods) per day: 30 * Maximum number of working days per week: 14 * Maximum total number of teachers: 700 * Maximum total number of subgroups (sets) of students: 5000 * Maximum total number of subjects: 1000 * Virtually unlimited number of subject tags * Maximum number of activities: 2000 (you can compile or ask the author a version with more activities allowed) * Maximum number of rooms: 300 * Maximum number of buildings: 100 * Maximum number of equipments: 300 * Adjustable duration for each activity (each activity can have duration of 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours or more) * Possibility of adding multiple teachers and students sets for each activity. That is, each activity can have specified at most 400 students subgroups (sets) and 100 teachers * Maximum number of time constraints: 3000 * Maximum number of space constraints: 3000 * A large and flexible palette of time constraints * A large and flexible palette of space constraints Whats New in version 5.13.0: * Updated to Qt 4.6.2. * For constraints students (set) min hours daily is now possible to allow empty days (in advanced usage) - suggested by Horatiu Halmajan and Catalin Maican. * Added a simple activity planning form, by Volker Dirr (see Advanced menu). * Now it is allowed to have 3 constraints of type interval max days per week for each students subgroup or teacher (it was maximum 2 previously). * Added export of active activities, by Volker Dirr. * Added Brazilian Portuguese translation (partial, incomplete yet), by Werner Bruns and Frank Martin. * Added Danish translation (partial, only the main form and a few other forms), by David Lamhauge. * Improved a bit the memory consumption. * The tables contain now an -x- (lowercase) if the teacher/students set/room is not available and -X- (uppercase) for a break (suggested by George Miliotis). Also, you can configure separately if you want breaks displayed and/or not available displayed. * Removed some useless messages, improving speed for some rare cases under GNU/Linux operating system and similar. * Added a few new sample files (by Christoph Schilling, Horatiu Halmajan and aliponte). * Changed default language/locale to en_US (instead of en_GB, which is non-standard).
