Release 1.6 (2006-06-19) adds various bug fixes, plus support for making
dimensions WITHOUT dimvars (coordinate variables), although I think this
is a bad idea in general. ALSO, the default behavior for put.var.ncdf
with unlimited variables and NO specified start and count parameters has
changed! Before, the default was to append to the end of the existing
variable. Now, the default is to assume a start of 1 along each
dimension, and a count of the current length of each dimension. This
really can be ambiguous when using an unlimited dimension. I always
specify both start and count when writing to a variable with an
unlimited dimension, and suggest you do as well. I make require this in
a future release, as it seems to cause people problems.
since they always need a C compiler, even when the source code is
completely in C++.
For some other packages, stated in the comment that a C compiler is
really not needed.
changes:
* Added support for constants e, log2(e), log10(e), ln(2), ln(10), pi,
pi/2, pi/4, 1/pi, 2/pi, 2/sqrt(pi), sqrt(2) and sqrt(1/2).
* Fixed bug with using global instead of evaluator specific symbol table
variable in evaluator_get_variables() function.
and add a new helper target and script, "show-buildlink3", that outputs
a listing of the buildlink3.mk files included as well as the depth at
which they are included.
For example, "make show-buildlink3" in fonts/Xft2 displays:
zlib
fontconfig
iconv
zlib
freetype2
expat
freetype2
Xrender
renderproto
* Correct bug in configure script: --enable-portable-binary option was ignored!
* Threads compilation fix on AIX: prefer xlc_r to cc_r, and don't use
either if we are using gcc.
* Updated FAQ to note that Apple gcc 4.0.1 on MacOS/Intel is broken,
and suggest a workaround. configure script now detects Core/Duo arch.
* Use -maltivec when checking for altivec.h.
set OVERRIDE_DIRDEPTH to find any libtool scripts deeper in the WRKSRC
tree unless they're named something other than "libtool".
SHLIBTOOL_OVERRIDE generally doesn't need to be specified either -- just
define it to the empty list and shlibtool-override will look for libtool
scripts.
C libraries *before* we throw the AC_LANG([C++]) switch. This makes
the generated configure script use the C compiler/linker instead of
the C++ compiler/linker when running tests. This avoids errors like
these based on not correctly getting the function signature correct:
conftest.cc:36: error: nonnull argument with out-of-range operand
number (arg 1, operand 2)
This error was causing the configure script to not detect *gettext()
routines and not building and installing the *.mo files. This fixes
the error noted in the bulk build results:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-bulk/2006/06/20/0000.html
Changes since 12.5.15:
Allow curly brackets ("{}") as parentheses.
Allow all taylor command input on the command line.
Add taylor command to tests.
Added -u option (Unbuffered mode). Previously output was always unbuffered.
Fixed compilation failure with some versions of GCC, when using readline.

Don't use __sighandler_t at all, it is not standard and at least on
DrgaonFly means something completely different. Also change the typedef
to match what signal actually expects. Fix some more minor glitches
for DragonFly.
This version contains several minor fixups and removes a couple of bad
bugs such as NA-handling of mean() for integer vectors.
Changes 2.3.0
This version contains several changes and additions, mostly incremental.
Xfractint draws a wide variety of fractals. Xfractint is a port of the
IBM PC program fractint. Xfractint has online documentation which
should be referenced for most operation information. Note that the
online documentation is from fractint, and does not always accurately
describe xfractint.
Add locale message for sv. Bump revision.
Fix configure to detect libintl correctly on NetBSD.
Don't remove the entry again, fix the script if necessary!
Changes:
- Excess variables cleanup of taylor command.
- Changed argument of push command from an equation number to an equation
number range.
- Added easy selection of equation spaces, just type the number at the
prompt.
- Allow flist command when Mathomatic is compiled as a library.
all PEAR packages to php?-pear-* and all Apache packages to ap13-* or
ap2-* respectively. Add new variables to simplify the Makefile
handling. Add CONFLICTS on the old names. Reset revisions of bumped
packages. ap-php will now depend on the default Apache and PHP version.
All programs using it have an implicit option of the Apache version
as well.
OK from jlam@ and adrianp@.
Changes:
A number of minor changes.
Fixes and improvements to the Mathomatic Command Reference.
Upgraded clear and set commands to accept more than one argument.
Gave real and imaginary commands a useful argument.
Fixed a sloppiness in command line parsing in function get_range().
Code cleanup.
* Performance improvements for Intel EMT64.
* Performance improvements for large-size transforms with SIMD.
* Cycle counter support for Intel icc and Visual C++ on x86-64.
* In fftw-wisdom tool, replaced obsolete --impatient with --measure.
* Fixed compilation failure with AIX/xlc; thanks to Joseph Thomas.
* Windows DLL support for Fortran API (added missing __declspec(dllexport)).
* SSE/SSE2 code works properly (i.e. disables itself) on older 386 and 486
CPUs lacking a CPUID instruction; thanks to Eric Korpela.
Cutting planes of two new classes were implemented: mixed cover
cuts and clique cuts. On API level this feature can be enabled
by setting control parameter LPX_K_USECUTS passed to the routine
lpx_intopt. In glpsol this feature is available through the
command-line options --cover and --clique. For more details see
the reference manual.
Now the routines lpx_read_mps and lpx_read_freemps support LI
bound type. It is similar to LO, however, indicates the column
as of integer kind.
Changes:
Improved matho-primes by making primes buffer variable size.
Added "set factor_integers" option.
Removed "simplify poly" option, it was rarely useful.
Code cleanup, commenting, and speed optimization.
Improved simplification, added the fixed problem ("tests/linear.in") to the tests.

** Added an error check to trap multifit calls with fewer observations
than parameters. Previously calling the multifit routines with n<p
would cause invalid memory access.
** Added the Debye unit to physical constants.
** Added cumulative distribution functions for the discrete
distributions, including binomial, poisson, geometric, negative
binomial, pascal and hypergeometric.
** Added the functions gsl_cdf_beta_{Pinv,Qinv} and
gsl_cdf_fdist_{Pinv,Qinv} for computing the inverse of the cumulative
beta and F distributions.
** Added the multilinear fit estimator function gsl_multifit_linear_est
for computing model values and their errors.
** Avoid division by zero in gsl_multimin_fdfminimizer_vector_bfgs
if the step-size becomes too small.
** Users on DEC Alpha systems will need to specify their desired IEEE
arithmetic options via CFLAGS when building the library, as these are
no longer added automatically.
** Added new random variate generators gsl_ran_gaussian_ziggurat
and gsl_ran_gamma_mt for the Gaussian and Gamma distributions based on
the Marsaglia-Tsang ziggurat and fast gamma methods.
** Improved the speed of the exponential power distribution
gsl_ran_exppow.
** Improved the speed of the Gaussian ratio method by adding quadratic
bounds in gsl_ran_gaussian_ratio_method.

* isodate(), localdate(), timestamp(), stamptodate() functions
* Fix show ending zeroes
* Fix prefixes with automatic simplification/factorization
* Approximate comparison
* ...and some more...
PKGLOCALEDIR and which install their locale files directly under
${PREFIX}/${PKGLOCALEDIR} and sort the PLIST file entries. From now
on, pkgsrc/mk/plist/plist-locale.awk will automatically handle
transforming the PLIST to refer to the correct locale directory.
Algorithmic changes
* Considerably improved performance of number input.
Changes 1.1.10:
Implementation changes
* Removed the vptr of modular integer and univariate polynomial
classes in order to fix some crashes in that sector of CLN. Code
using this needs to be recompiled.
* Many more operator signatures make the integration of CLN types with
float/double easier.
Other changes
* Several compilation fixes.
* Made it possible to cross-compile CLN.
RECOMMENDED is removed. It becomes ABI_DEPENDS.
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED.foo becomes BUILDLINK_ABI_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS.foo becomes BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS does not change.
IGNORE_RECOMMENDED (which defaulted to "no") becomes USE_ABI_DEPENDS
which defaults to "yes".
Added to obsolete.mk checking for IGNORE_RECOMMENDED.
I did not manually go through and fix any aesthetic tab/spacing issues.
I have tested the above patch on DragonFly building and packaging
subversion and pkglint and their many dependencies.
I have also tested USE_ABI_DEPENDS=no on my NetBSD workstation (where I
have used IGNORE_RECOMMENDED for a long time). I have been an active user
of IGNORE_RECOMMENDED since it was available.
As suggested, I removed the documentation sentences suggesting bumping for
"security" issues.
As discussed on tech-pkg.
I will commit to revbump, pkglint, pkg_install, createbuildlink separately.
Note that if you use wip, it will fail! I will commit to pkgsrc-wip
later (within day).

previous versions and the write_comment() method has been
temporarily removed. These issues will be fixed in later releases.
+ Changed the default Excel format to Excel 97.
+ Added support for strings up to 32767 character.
+ Added support for Unicode strings.

! Failed new() returns undef instead of croak()ing as per docs.
makeinfo if no native makeinfo executable exists. Honor TEXINFO_REQD
when determining whether the native makeinfo can be used.
* Remove USE_MAKEINFO and replace it with USE_TOOLS+=makeinfo.
* Get rid of all the "split" argument deduction for makeinfo since
the PLIST module already handles varying numbers of split info files
correctly.
NOTE: Platforms that have "makeinfo" in the base system should check
that the makeinfo entries of pkgsrc/mk/tools.${OPSYS}.mk are
correct.
developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
Changes since 12.5.8:
- Bug fix for nintegrate command. Result was correct but not fully reduced.
- Added "twin" option to "primes/matho-primes", removed "primes/matho-twin".
- Automatically determine the variable if none is specified
with the derivative and taylor commands.
- Increased the maximum variable length to 1000 characters.
- Enhanced factorization, with square free factorization of rational multivariate polynomials
- New simplification using the enhanced factorization
- Much more efficient determinant and matrix inverse calculation
- Greatly enhanced and reworked solving of equations and inequalities
- More efficient evaluation avoiding recalculations
- Generally enhanced and more correct algebraic functionality
- Faster calculation of powers with large exponent and base close to one
- Option to automatically simplify or factorize
- Option to warn about denominators assumed non-zero
- Fix negative exponents with lower-case e
- Fix fetching of exchange rates with gnome-vfs < 2.10
- Polynomial functions: coeff(), lcoeff(), pcontent(), degree(), etc.
- Fix ln(e^x)
- Display "x < 3 && x > 1" as "1 < x < 3"
- Display "&&" and "||" as "and" and "or" by default
- Fix display of fractions in "Decimal (Try Exact)" mode
- Compile without errors or warnings with -pedantic and -Wextra
- Unicode fixes
- ...and many more minor fixes and enhancements (and probably some new bugs)...
another "final release"
changes:
-__array_data__, __array_struct__ support
-some bugfixes
-Support array interface in objecttype function
-build system improvements
inofficial note:
The default indices of diagonal() and trace() changed, this causes
a selftest to fail. The default indices behaviour is documented, so
it seems that just the selftest is wrong. This only affects arrays with
more than 2 dimensions.
This update fixes various segmentation faults during "make test" (using
pari 2.1.6).
Pkgsrc changes:
- Removed files/Makefile.PL (not used anymore).
Relevant changes since version 2.010501:
========================================
- various 64-bit fixes
- extensive update ot test suite
Changes:
- Doubled the default max expression size. Display current size on
startup.
- Made solve_sub() return -1 for an identity.
- Speedup of the simplify command.
This is a major version release.
changes include:
-Undo/Redo
-support for objects (and indexes!) with more than 2**31 rows
-new datatypes
-improved HDF5 support
-compression support

A MIP presolver were implemented (currently incomplete). It is
used internally in the routine lpx_intopt (see below).
An advanced branch-and-bound solver (the routine lpx_intopt)
were implemented.
The routine lpx_check_int to check MIP feasibility conditions
was added.
The routine lpx_print_mip was changed to print MIP feasibility
conditions.
The built-in functions sin, cos, atan, and atan2 were added to
the MathProg language.
Some typos were fixed.
Thanks to Minh Ha Duong <haduong@centre-cired.fr> (CIRED, CNRS).
* Faster FFTW_ESTIMATE planner.
* New (faster) algorithm for REDFT00/RODFT00 (type-I DCT/DST) of odd size.
* "4-step" algorithm for faster FFTs of very large sizes (> 2^18).
* Faster in-place real-data DFTs (for R2HC and HC2R r2r formats).
* Faster in-place non-square transpositions (FFTW uses these internally
for in-place FFTs, and you can also perform them explicitly using
the guru interface).
* Faster prime-size DFTs: implemented Bluestein's algorithm, as well
as a zero-padded Rader variant to limit recursive use of Rader's algorithm.
* SIMD support for split complex arrays.
* Much faster Altivec/VMX performance.
* New fftw_set_timelimit function to specify a (rough) upper bound to the
planning time (does not affect ESTIMATE mode).
* Removed --enable-3dnow support; use --enable-k7 instead.
* FMA (fused multiply-add) version is now included in "standard" FFTW,
and is enabled with --enable-fma (the default on PowerPC and Itanium).
* Automatic detection of native architecture flag for gcc. New
configure options: --enable-portable-binary and --with-gcc-arch=<arch>,
for people distributing compiled binaries of FFTW (see manual).
* Automatic detection of Altivec under Linux with gcc 3.4 (so that
same binary should work on both Altivec and non-Altivec PowerPCs).
* Compiler-specific tweaks/flags/workarounds for gcc 3.4, xlc, HP/UX,
Solaris/Intel.
* Various documentation clarifications.
* 64-bit clean. (Fixes a bug affecting the split guru planner on
64-bit machines, reported by David Necas.)
* Fixed Debian bug no.259612: inadvertent use of SSE instructions on
non-SSE machines (causing a crash) for --enable-sse binaries.
* Fixed bug that caused HC2R transforms to destroy the input in
certain cases, even if the user specified FFTW_PRESERVE_INPUT.
* Fixed bug where wisdom would be lost under rare circumstances,
causing excessive planning time.
* FAQ notes bug in gcc-3.4.[1-3] that causes FFTW to crash with SSE/SSE2.
* Fixed accidentally exported symbol that prohibited simultaneous
linking to double/single multithreaded FFTW (thanks to Alessio Massaro).
* Support Win32 threads under MinGW (thanks to Alessio Massaro).

link to appear in the tools directory and be picked up and embedded in
one of the installed scripts. Since this package clearly uses gzip at
runtime add an explicit USE_TOOLS+=gzip:run and fixup the gzip path that
gets embedded. Fixes PR pkg/32218. Bump PKGREVISION.
Changes:
- Ported matho-primes, matho-twin, and matho-pascal to long doubles.
"make test" added in "primes" directory.
- Alphabetic case sensitive mode set by default.

- Code cleanup.
written in arabic digits to words in several languages.
You can convert an integer between -infinity and infinity.
If your system does not support such long numbers you can
call Numbers_Words::toWords() with just a string.
