 * New functions/methods:
    - remove_first() and remove_last() for lists
    - symmetrize_cyclic()
+   - decomp_rational()
 * Instead of just totally symmetric or antisymmetric, complex symmetries
   can now be defined for indexed objects. Symmetries are described by a
   tree of "symmetry" objects that is constructed with the sy_none(),
   sy_symm(), sy_anti() and sy_cycl() functions. The symmetry of a function
   with respect to its arguments can also be defined (this is currently
   only used for the Beta function).
-* color_trace() and dirac_trace() can be applied to a more general class
-  of expressions, e.g. using it on a relation will take the trace on both
-  sides etc.
 * Generalized map() to take a function object instead of a function pointer.
   This allows passing an arbitrary number of additional state to the
   function being called.
+* color_trace(), dirac_trace(), diff(), expand(), evalf() and normal() work
+  better with container classes, e.g. using color_trace() on a relation will
+  take the trace on both sides, using diff() on a matrix differentiates every
+  element etc.
+* diff() works properly with non-commutative products and indexed objects.
 * Supplement some (now deprecated) macros by inlined template functions:
   - is_of_type(foo, type) -> is_a<type>(foo)
   - is_ex_of_type(foo, type) -> is_a<type>(foo)
   - is_exaclty_of_type(foo, type) -> is_exaclty_a<type>(foo)
   - is_ex_exaclty_of_type(foo, type) -> is_exaclty_a<type>(foo)
   - ex_to_foobar(baz)  ->  ex_to<foobar>(baz)
+* rem(c, p[x], x) erroneously returned p[x] instead of c.
 
 0.9.0 (7 June 2001)
 * In the output and in ginsh, lists are now delimited by { } braces, and
