-0.8.2 (<date>)
+0.8.4 (<date>)
+* simplify_indexed() renames dummy indices so, e.g., "a.i*a.i+a.j*a.j" gets
+ simplified to "2*a.i*a.i".
+* Added canonicalize_clifford() function that can be helpful when comparing
+ expressions containing Dirac matrices.
+* Added a new function match() for performing pattern matching. subs() and
+ has() also accept patterns as arguments. A pattern can be any expression,
+ optionally containing wildcard objects. These are constructed with the
+ call "wild(<unsigned>)" and are denoted as "$0", "$1" etc. in the output
+ and in ginsh.
+* Fixed possible crash when calling subs() on expressions with non-commutative
+ products.
+
+0.8.3 (11 May 2001)
+* color and clifford classes are functional and documented.
+* New "spinidx" class for dotted/undotted indices.
+* Predefined spinor metric tensor (created by spinor_metric()).
+* Symbols can have a LaTeX name, e.g. symbol s("s", "\\sigma");
+* LaTeX output of indexed objects is much nicer.
+* Fix some build-problems (with recent libreadline).
+* Semantics of arithmetic operators now follows the C++ rules more strictly.
+
+0.8.2 (24 April 2001)
* degree(), ldegree(), coeff(), lcoeff(), tcoeff() and collect() work with
non-symbols as the second argument in ginsh.
* the argument to collect() can be a list of objects in which case the
result is either a recursively collected polynomial, or a polynomial in
a distributed form with terms like coeff*x1^e1*...*xn^en, as specified by
the second argument to collect().
+* Several bugfixes (including a nasty memory leak in .normal()).
+* class matrix: solve() doesn't call algorithms redundantly any more and
+ inverse() falls back to solve() which works in more general cases.
0.8.1 (16 April 2001)
* degree(), ldegree(), coeff(), lcoeff(), tcoeff() and collect() can now
