[Liviu Lalescu]

I added this in the TODO, because I cannot do it right now.

Hi. Is it possible to have the english version of this custom FET ?  Please.

[Liviu Lalescu]

Hello! Sure, it is in English by default. Otherwise go to Settings->Language.

Either with teacher(s)/students (set) activity tag max hours daily, or adding min days between activities consecutive if same day = true; in this case FET won't put more than 2 activities on the same day.

I mean, there is a maximum of 2 lessons per subject in a class.
Teachers can teach more than 2 periods in all class, but each class can only teach up to 2 periods per day.

I talked to saladv on Facebook and TeamViewer, we need to add some dummy activity tags, mark for each teacher the activities for each students set with a different tag, and use the constraints teacher(s) activity tag max 2 hours daily for all the dummy tags. It seems to work.

I've just compiled FET MA for Mac—the direct download link is here.

Hello and thanks for always developing this fantastic tool
I only want to know which one is faster using FET on MAC or WINDOWS?

[Volker Dirr]

It is mainly only depending on the cpu.
If you run FET on MAC OS or Winodws on the same cpu, then it is mainly depending on the used compiler (and it's version); not the OS.

By default the Windows version is compiled with a mingw-gcc version, not with the microsoft c++ compiler.
I guess Darren use the clang compiler under mac os. In fact you can use the clang compiler also with other OS.

Might be intresting to do a comparison once again. Maybe you can run a benchmark and repot results?
If you have MacOS you might not need to install Windows for that. Just run the Windows FET version under MacOS in a tool like Crossover. It should be nearly the same speed as with a native Windows version.

Thank you very much, it worked

On Friday, 23 October 2020, I released a new FET-MA version, FET-5.27.3-MA11. From the ChangeLog:

- Generation: logic/theoretical improvement as in the official FET, if you are using constraints students early and students max gaps per week/day > 0.

- Warn if using <100.0% weight for max hours daily, as in the official FET

- Execute custom command at the end of the generation, as in the official FET.

- Max hours per day = 72 (as in official FET) - but this is not really important for FET MA.

Also, there is one new Algerian example input file, contributed by Benahmed Abdelkrim.

Dear FET-MA users, now I need to make a pledge for donations. I am alone, I get no financial help from nobody (apart from the kind past donations that I listed on the donations page). My situation is very difficult - or should I say desperate. Please spread the word that this project needs funding. Please help if you can!
