Monkey Analytics Blog

Hi everyone!

We’ve been radio silent for a bit because we were heads-down developing and debugging a set of features which launched today.  So if you’re wondering what we’ve been up to – you can find out here!

1. Huge performance boost: in our performance discussion, we mentioned that round-trips between commands could take 5 seconds. Ouch! This is no longer the case – most commands now complete in < 1 second so that you feel almost as if you are developing locally. We always had an architecture in mind to deliver this, but it was far more complex to build than we expected. The end result is worth it – and we hope you love it as much as we do.

2. Plotting improvements: as part of this architecture upgrade, we’ve fixed our handling of Octave / Matlab and Python plotting – Python matplotlib plots now function correctly the majority of the time, and many more Matlab commands such as hold and gcf now function properly.

3. Rename your sessions: if you click on a session’s name in an open session or session info screen you’ll get a popup asking for your new session name – so if you didn’t like what you called your session to start with (or don’t like the “Default” we give you when you first sign in) feel free to change it!

Now that this huge change is launched, we look forward to getting back to our laundry list of smaller items that have been annoying us (as well as the next big item – 64 bit high memory machines as an option).  As always, if you find a bug we missed, let us know!

Thanks,
