1 This file records noteworthy changes.
4 * Important interface changes:
10 * Some algorithms in class matrix (notably determinant) were replaced by
11 less brain-dead ones and should now have much better performance.
12 * Checks were completely reorganized and split up into three parts:
13 a) exams (small regression tests with predefined input)
14 b) checks (lenghty coherence checks with random input)
15 c) timings (for coherence and crude benchmarking)
16 * Behaviour of .evalf() was changed: it doesn't .evalf() any exponents.
17 * Expanded expressions now remember they are expanded to prevent
18 superfluous expansions.
19 * Small bugfixes and improvements in the series expansion.
21 0.5.3 (23 February 2000)
22 * A more flexible scheme for registering functions was implemented,
23 allowing for remembering, too.
26 0.5.2 (16 February 2000)
27 * Mainly fixes a bug in the packaging of release 0.5.1.
29 0.5.1 (14 February 2000)
30 * Fixes a small number of bugs.
32 0.5.0 (7 February 2000)
33 * Expressions can be written ("archived") to files and read therefrom.
34 * Addition of GiNaC-cint, which lets you write complete programs in
35 an interactive shell-like manner in your favoured programming
38 0.4.1 (13 December 1999)
39 * Series Expansion of Gamma function and some other trigonometric
40 functions at their poles works now.
41 * Many more evaluations of special functions at points where
43 * info_flags::rational doesn't return true for complex extensions
44 any more---use info_flags::crational for the old behaviour.
45 info_flags::integer and -::cinteger work similarly, the same
46 holds for types like info_flags::rational_polynomial.
48 0.4.0 (26 November 1999)
49 * First public release.
