new version of two software for SVM

[Chih-Jen Lin]

Dear Colleagues:

We announce the new version of two software for 
support vector machines.

1. LIBSVM 2.0
http://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~cjlin/libsvm

Not only for large classification, LIBSVM now solves regression, 
and two variants: nu-SVM and one-class SVM.
Like version 1.0, the new release is still a simple
and easy-to-use tool. All different SVMs are implemented 
in one short file (1000-line C++ code). Graphics interfaces 
for different SVMs are also provided.

2. BSVM 1.1
http://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~cjlin/bsvm

The main improvement is on solving the optimization
sub-problem of the decomposition method. This makes the 
use of larger working sets possible. Unlike the previous
version which was implemented by combining C and Fortran
programs, BSVM 1.1 uses only C and the code is simpler. 

Any comments are very welcome.

Sincerely,
