+0.5.4 (?x?y?z?  March 2000)
+* Algorithms in class matrix (determinant and solve) were replaced by
+  less brain-dead ones and should now have much better performance.
+* Checks were reorganized and split up into three parts:
+  a) exams (small regression tests with predefined input)
+  b) checks (lenghty coherence checks with random input)
+  c) timings (for coherence and crude benchmarking)
+* Behaviour of .evalf() was changed: it doesn't .evalf() any exponents.
+
 0.5.3 (23 February 2000)
 * A more flexible scheme for registering functions was implemented,
   allowing for remembering, too.
