This allows some simplifications that weren't possible before, + like eps~a.b~c~d*X.a*X~b -> 0 and X.a~a-X~a.a -> 0. +* Implemented relational::subs(). +* Fixed bug in simplify_ncmul() for clifford objects. + +1.0.8 (31 March 2002) +* Improvements in memory usage of the expand() methods. + +1.0.7 (18 March 2002) +* Fixed LaTeX output of indexed and matrix objects. +* Fixed matrix::pow(n) for n==0 and added helper functions to create unit + matrices "ex unit_matrix(unsigned, unsigned)". + +1.0.6 (4 March 2002) +* "(x+1).subs(x==x-1)" now returns the correct result "x" instead of "x-1". + +1.0.5 (27 January 2002) +* (l)degree(s), coeff(s, n) and collect(s) were extended to accept expressions + of any class (except add/mul/ncmul/numeric) for "s". They should even work + if "s" is a "power" object, as long as the exponent is non-integer, but with + some limitations. For example, you can "collect(a*2^x+b*2^x, 2^x)" to get + "(a+b)*2^x", but "degree(2^(3*x), 2^x)" yields 0 instead of 3). +* Fixed a small output bug. + +1.0.4 (24 January 2002) +* Speedup in expand(). +* Faster Bernoulli numbers (Markus Nullmeier). +* Some minor bugfixes and documentation updates. + 1.0.3 (21 December 2001) * Fixed a bug where quo() would call vector::reserve() with a negative argument.
