BOSS 1.7.0 is out!

This release introduces a major new feature to BOSS: including gradient observations in the user function. This can significantly reduce the number of iterations required to find the global optimum at the cost of longer execution time per iteration. Consequently you will get the most out of this feature when the user function is very expensive and calculation of the gradient comes at little to no extra cost. Checkout the new tutorial to learn how to use gradient observations.
