Publisher's description:
FET is an evolutionary program (using a genetic algoritm) for automatically generating the timetable of a school, high-school or university.
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

What's New in This Release:
* Updated to Qt 4.5.2
* Converted all dialogs to Qt 4 Designer files - suggested by George Miliotis. Compilation time is now shorter and intermediary and executable files are smaller.
* Added constraint teacher(s) min days per week (suggested by several users).
* Added constraint teacher(s) or students (set) for an activity tag maximum hours daily (suggested by several users). It is not perfect and must be enabled from settings menu.
* Added constraint students (set) max gaps per day. It is not perfect and must be enabled from settings menu.
* Very rare crash bug fix (reported by Marco Barsotti).
* Constraint room not available times permits now multiple constraints for the same room (so, you can use multiple constraints with different weights and preferences for the same room).
* In add/modify activity and modify subactivity dialogs, the students are displayed in a tree-like structure (suggested by George Miliotis).
* In all constraints dialogs, added a nice filter (suggested by daviodan).
* Changed name of constraint: MinNDaysBetweenActivities becomes MinDaysBetweenActivities.
* Added a count for activities list and constraints list.
* The constraints with tables now contain an X (nicer look), also centered nicely, and they have colors (which can be enabled in settings)
* The timetables view forms now center text in cells.
* Many other minor interface improvements.
* Rewritten the Catalan translation by Silvia. It is very complete, check it out.
* Added a new Greek sample file, by George Miliotis.
* Updated and improved Persian translation by sally sat.
* Dropped !DOCTYPE FET tag in the .fet files - following general recommendations, and changed FET tag to fet tag. Of course you can open older files.
* Improved activities simple description (suggested by Massimo Mancini and alfaromeo).
* Added possibility to save the highest stage timetable (suggested by alfaromeo, pinco and Massimo Mancini).
* Added a new Romanian sample file, by Horatiu Halmajan.
* Updated translations: Russian, German, Romanian, Italian, Spanish.
* The timetable view dialogs now have resizeable widgets (you can drag the sections with the mouse) - suggested by Ben Bauer.
