The following new features were included in the MIP solver
* MIP presolver
* mixed cover cut generator
* clique cut generator
* Euclidean reduction of the objective value
Due to changes the routine glp_intopt may additionally return
GLP_ENOPFS, GLP_ENODFS, and GLP_EMIPGAP.
The API routines lpx_integer are lpx_intopt are deprecated,
since they are completely superseded by glp_intopt.
The following new branch-and-cut API routines were added:
glp_ios_row_attr determine additional row attributes
glp_ios_pool_size determine current size of the cut pool
glp_ios_add_row add constraint to the cut pool
glp_ios_del_row delete constraint from the cut pool
glp_ios_clear_pool delete all constraints from the cut pool
Don't call pkg_info to get the installed Emacs version; always use the
version matching EMACS_TYPE set by users. Be DEPENDS to it. This should
address pkg/37146 by Aleksey Cheusov.
While here convert some emacs lisp packages to user-destdir.
* Bug fix: FFTW computes incorrect results when the user plans both
REDFT11 and RODFT11 transforms of certain sizes. The bug is caused
by incorrect sharing of twiddle-factor tables between the two
transforms, and only occurs when both are used. Thanks to Paul
A. Valiant for the bug report.

FriCAS is a fork of Axiom.
FriCAS algebra library is written in a high level strongly typed
language (Spad), which allows natural expression of mathematical
algorithms.
FriCAS uses lightweight developement methodology. Compared to Axiom
FriCAS is significantly restructured -- it is more portable and fixed
several defects. FriCAS removed rather large unused parts (without
removing functionality). It is expected that FriCAS will be much
easier to maintain than original Axiom.
* The core LP solver based on the dual simplex method was
re-implemented and now it provides both phases I and II.
* New API routines.
* For description of these new routines see the reference manual
included in the distribution.
* The following API routines are deprecated:
lpx_scale_prob, lpx_std_basis, lpx_adv_basis, lpx_cpx_basis.
* Necessary changes were made in memory allocation routines to
resolve portability issues for 64-bit platforms.
* New version of the routine lpx_write_pb to write problem data
in OPB (pseudo boolean format) was added to the package.
* Two new makefiles were added to build the package for 32- and
64-bit Windows with Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2008.
* Two new makefiles were added to build the package with Digital
Mars C/C++ 8.50 and Open Watcom C/C++ 1.6 (for 32-bit Windows).
Pkgsrc changes:
* Update MASTERE_SITES (Thanks for Zafer Aydogan) and HOMEPAGE.
* add DESTDIR support
NEWS in 1.0.3
* Improvement of `frame' and `box' commands.
NEWS in 1.0.2
* `disc' point shape.
* Makefile improvement.
NEW FEATURES
o sprintf() returns elements of the result in UTF-8 when the
format or any character input has a corresponding element
declared as UTF-8. Similarly for paste(), elements of the
result are in UTF-8 when any input to that element is declared
as UTF-8.
o axis() has new arguments 'col.ticks' and 'lwd.ticks' to allow
the colour and line width of ticks to be set separately from
that of the line (e.g. to set one or the other to transparent
or zero width).
o legend() has a new argument 'box.col' to set the colour of the
enclosing box.
o legend() gains a 'xpd' argument to make it easier to place a
legend in the margins or outer margins.
o stripchart() now passes '...' to title() (as well as to
plot.default() and axis()). (Wish of PR#12202)
o help.search() has new argument 'searchEngine' to go
directly to the search form: this is needed by users of
Firefox 3 to workaround a bug in interpreting the search
results pages.
+ BUG FIXES
2.7.1 NEW FEATURES
o tools::texi2dvi() has a new argument 'texinputs' to allow the
TeX and bibtex input paths to be specified (even on MiKTeX).
o dev.copy2pdf() gains an 'out.type' argument to allow it to be
used with cairo_pdf() or quartz(type = "pdf").
o poly() has additional checks against user error (as in PR#11243).
o The Mac OS quartz() device draws contiguous lines much faster.
o A field containing just a sign is no longer regarded as numeric
(it was on all platforms in 2.7.0, but not on most in earlier
versions of R). Similarly, '.' is now always non-numeric.
o CITATION files are now read in Latin-1: quite a few were
failing if used in a multibyte locale such as UTF-8.
o The DESCRIPTION file of a package can specify an 'OS_type' field
as either 'unix' or 'windows' to confine installation to that
OS type.
o HoltWinters() now uses optimize() rather than optim for
one-parameter problems which should be more reliable (PR#11469).
o axis() now respects the setting of par("xpd") when clipping.
o The 'factor' method of format() now preserves names, dims and
dimnames in the same way as for character and numeric inputs.
(PR#11512)
o read.DIF(*, transpose=TRUE) now allows to correctly read DIF files
produced by some versions of Excel.
DEPRECATED & DEFUNCT
o The use of unserialize() on character strings is deprecated:
that was a format used in R < 2.4.0.
o The use of embedded nuls in character strings is deprecated:
They will no longer be allowed in R 2.8.0.
UTILITIES
o R CMD check checks for possible check directories in the
sources -- in mid-2008 there were about 20 examples on CRAN.
o R CMD build tries harder to clean up the inst/doc directory
from the remnants of earlier builds.
It also removes any directories with extension .Rcheck, and
files .DS_Store and ._* (created by tar on Mac OS X under some
circumstances: it now sets environment variables to ask for
such files not to be created by that tar.)

Pure Perl implementation of the Mersenne Twister algorithm as
implemented in C/XS in Math::Random::MT. The output is identical
to the C/XS version. The Mersenne Twister is a 32 bit pseudorandom
number generator developed by Makoto Matsumoto and Takuji Nishimura.
The algorithm is characterised by a very uniform distribution but
is not cryptographically secure. What this means in real terms is
that it is fine for modeling but no good for crypto.

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES
o The default graphics device in non-interactive use is now
pdf() rather than postscript(). [PDF viewers are now
more widely available than PostScript viewers.]
The default width and height for pdf() and bitmap() have been
changed to 7 (inches) to match the screen devices.
o Most users of the X11() device will see a new device that has
different fonts, anti-aliasing of lines and fonts and
supports semi-transparent colours.
o Considerable efforts have been made to make the default output
from graphics devices as similar as possible (and in
particular close to that from postscript/pdf). Many devices
were misinterpreting 'pointsize' in some way, for example as
being in device units (pixels) rather than in points.
o Packages which include graphics devices need to be re-installed
for this version of R, with recently updated versions.
+ New features and bug fixes.
- assume that Python 2.4 and 2.5 are compatible and allow checking for
fallout.
- remove PYTHON_VERSIONS_COMPATIBLE that are obsoleted by the 2.3+
default. Modify the others to deal with the removals.

The iODBC and MySQL table drivers, which allows transmitting
data between MathProg model objects and relational databases,
were re-implemented to replace a static linking by a dynamic
linking to corresponding shared libraries.
Many thanks to Heinrich Schuchardt <heinrich.schuchardt@gmx.de>
for the contribution, Rafael Laboissiere <rafael@debian.org>
for useful advices concerning the shared library support under
GNU/Linux, and Vijay Patil <vijay.patil@gmail.com> for testing
this feature under Windows XP.
A new optional feature was added to the package. This feature
is based on the zlib data compression library and allows GLPK
API routines and the stand-alone solver to read and write
compressed data files performing compression/decompression "on
the fly" (compressed data files are recognized by suffix `.gz'
in the file name). It may be useful in case of large MPS files
to save the disk space (up to ten times).
Changes are basically bugfixes.
pkgsrc changes:
Don't bother patching configure.ac - it was only part of the changes
being made to configure so don't pretend you could use it to regerate
configure.
Use -fPIC rather than -fpic for NetBSD powerpc. Should fix PR 38032.
include:
* Added some timing pauses so rotations and such are not too
fast.
* Changed default setting of X11 option :FAST-LINES to NIL. It
is no longer needed as an optimization and support seems to
now be buggy on some servers.
+ Support user-destdir installation.
+ HOMEPAGE has moved to uiowa.edu.
patch-ac that altered the order in which the terminal library for
readline was detected. The termcap.buildlink3.mk file (included
indirectly by readline/buildlink3.mk) will do the right thing by
itself.
+ Modify the pkg-index.tmpl INSTALL script fragment: we can just use
${PKG_PREFIX} instead of substituting for @PREFIX@ everywhere. Also
refactor the commands to rebuild the package index into a shell
function and give some indication to the user what is happening.
+ Remove chown operation in post-install that was basically
cargo-culted from the very first version of R imported into pkgsrc.
It's not necessary.
+ Support user-destdir installation.
Bump the PKGREVISION to 2.
- The addition of several new routines for complex number operations.
- Minor changes in the function implementations to use the new
operations.
+ Support user-destdir installation.
+ Move Makefile for building the BLAS library from patch-aa into
files/Makefile.blas. It's simpler to edit this file than to create
new patches.
Linux. The readline buildlink3.mk file now pulls in the correct
dependencies on its own.
+ Actually tell the configure script to use the readline dependency.
+ Add patch-ac which fixes the declaration of readline() to match the
readline.h header (it takes a const char * argument).
+ Add full DESTDIR support.
Bump the PKGREVISION to 2.

What are the distribution terms for djbfft?
2008.02.27: I hereby place the djbfft package (in particular,
djbfft-0.76.tar.gz, with MD5 checksum 9349eff24c1f9fdfb98cfb51bece8efb)
into the public domain. The package is no longer copyrighted.
Accomodate Darwin $AS which tries to read from STDIN.
On darwin, diagnoze arch via uname -p. (SIGBUS during build)
Update find_machine_architecture() to 2.3.0 logic (so disable sparcv7)
Make getHeap() use PerlIO, and consistently use bytes for output.
* Compatibility with Matlab graphics is much better now. We now
have some graphics features that work like Matlab's Handle
Graphics (tm):
* The way Octave handles search paths has changed.
* Previous versions of Octave had a number of built-in variables to
control warnings (for example, warn_divide_by_zero). These
variables have been replaced by warning identifiers that are used
with the warning function to control the state of warnings.
* All built-in variables have been converted to functions.
* For compatibility with Matlab, the output order of Octave's
"system" function has changed.
* For compatibility with Matlab, the output of Octave's fsolve
function has been changed.
* For compatibility with Matlab, normcdf, norminv, normpdf, and
normrnd have been modified to compute distributions using the
standard deviation instead of the variance.
* For compatibility with Matlab, gamcdf, gaminv, gampdf, gamrnd,
expcdf, expinv, exppdf and exprnd have been modified to compute
the distributions using the standard scale factor rather than
one over the scale factor.
This switches from the release candidate to the real release, changes
are bugfixes and some stylistic changes.
pkgsrc note: the .omf file for the documentation is missing in
the distribution. I've pulled it from CVS. This workaround can
hopefully be removed on the next update.
(The website still refers to 1.6.3 as the current stable version.)
A tentative implementation of Gomory's mixed integer cuts was
included in the branch-and-cut solver. To enable generating
Gomory's cuts the control parameter gmi_cuts passed to the
routine glp_intopt should be set to GLP_ON. This feature is
also available in the solver glpsol through command-line option
'--gomory'. For more details please see the reference manual
included in the distribution.

A tentative implementation of MIR (mixed integer rounding) cuts
was included in the MIP solver. To enable generating MIR cuts
the control parameter mir_cuts passed to the routine glp_intopt
should be set to GLP_ON. This feature is also available in the
stand-alone solver glpsol via command-line option '--mir'. For
more details please see the reference manual included in the
distribution.
The implementation is mainly based on the following two papers:
1. H. Marchand and L. A. Wolsey. Aggregation and mixed integer
rounding to solve MIPs. CORE discussion paper 9839, CORE,
Universite catholique de Louvain, June 1998.
2. G. Andreello, A. Caprara, and M. Fischetti. Embedding cuts
in a Branch&Cut framework. Preliminary draft, October 2003.
MIR cuts can be generated on any level of the search tree that
makes the GLPK MIP solver to be a real branch-and-cut solver.
A bug was fixed in the routine lpx_write_cpxlp. If a variable
x has upper bound and no lower bound, it should appear in the
bounds section as "-inf <= x <= u", not as "x <= u". Thanks to
Enric Rodriguez <erodri@lsi.upc.edu> for the bug report.
Changes since 12.7.7:
10/10/07 - Proper error reporting for shelling out (! command).
10/12/07 - Created directory "m4" to play with using m4 to allow easily
entering functions through macros.
10/14/07 - Improved "set dir" to display the new current directory and to
default to the home directory.
10/17/07 - Entering "=" by itself now swaps equation sides instead of doing
nothing.
10/18/07 - New "mathomatic.ico" file with transparent background.
10/21/07 - Increased speed of taylor command up to 3 times by not doing an
unnecessary simplification.
Added "tests/distance.in".
10/22/07 - Fixed a small problem in calculate command, allowing instant
calculation of (2+2i)^99 now.
Entering any power of any complex number should work now.
10/29/07 - Solving now reports what degree polynomial the equation is.
11/12/07 - Fixed 3 bugs in optimize command.
11/16/07 - Fixed another bug in optimize command.
The following new API routines were added:
glp_read_sol read basic solution from text file
glp_write_sol write basic solution to text file
glp_read_ipt read interior-point solution from text file
glp_write_ipt write interior-point solution to text file
glp_read_mip read MIP solution from text file
glp_write_mip write MIP solution to text file
changes:
-Use Lambert W to solve more equations and avoid infinite loop when solving
some equations
-More data on elements
-Fix simplification of (1-1/x)^3 and similar
-Fix clumsy mistakes in with prefixes leading to crashes
-Fix parsing of unit expressions (when converting) such as W/(m K)
-Add more exact values for sin() and cos() and avoid floating point underflow
by, in approximate mode, checking against the value of pi
-Always input decimal separator sign on keypad separator press
-Fix crash when expression entry reclaims focus if compiled with optimizations
(GTK+)
-New units: typographic units, pouce, pied du roi, grams of TNT and tons of TNT
-New functions: lambertW(), addDays(), addMonths(), addYear(), addTime(),
isNumber(), isReal(), isRational(), isInteger(), representsNumber(),
representsReal(), representsRational(), representsInteger()
-New variable: omega constant
-Other minor fixes and enhancements
also fix wrong inclusion of scrollkeeper/bl3
by any system that pkgsrc supports anyway. It seems to only be used by
ultrix and it isn't clear that scilab still works on ultrix anyway and it almost
certainly doesn't under pkgsrc.
calendar math and fill in wday/yday. Use mktime(3) to have those fields
calculated.
-Fix non-portable use of sort(1) (in an example/selftest only): the "-n"
option should "restrict" the sort key to a numeric field, there is no
requirement to use another key if no numbers are present.
-bump PKGREVISION
Based on patch provided by PR 37017.
Fixes build problem with gtk-2.12.0.
OKed by wiz@.
This release introduces so-called paper mode, a new galculator view intended to
be more intuitive by means of "Do your calculations as you would do them on a
paper". Along with this new GUI feature, various bugs all over the GUI - core
interface have been fixed, with the arithmetic core stable and flawless since a
handful of releases.
too many changes to list here
pkgsrc changes:
-add use of pcre and qhull to options, and include
both in the default configuration
-play dirty tricks to make sure GNU sed is used as sed -- there is
something in the "mkf77def" script which doesn't work with NetBSD sed
This is a major release. Significant changes include:
* calc may be built with static or dynamic shared libraries
* overhauled Makefiles to use system targets
- replaced compiler sets with host targets
- targets include: linux, OS X, FreeBSD, simple, default
- many changes to Makefile variables
* calc source static and extern variables declared with CPP symbols
- to make it easier to compile under certain Windoz environments
- to assist those who are developing a multi-threaded calc lib
* calc library makes it easier to control parse and scan messages

- i.e., 2.5 ^ 3.5, 0.5i ^ 0.25, 2.5 ^ 2.718i, 3.13145i ^ 0.30103i
added TEST_TARGET
Changes since 12.7.2:
Improved documentation.
Added display of maximum memory usage to version command.
Allow read command in the Mathomatic library and fixed memory leak with it.
Added echo command per a user's request.
Improved factoring out constants, to make all coefficients reduced integers by
factoring out their gcd.
Added gcd_verified() function, to weed out false floating point gcds.
Made limit command say whether it is substituting or solving.
Added "mathomatic.desktop" and "mathomatic.png", which are the desktop and
icon files for Linux.
Minor code, documentation, and makefile improvements.
Added "tests/quartic.in" and fixed incomplete simplification in the calculate
command.
Allow upper case when parsing infinity constant name "inf", required by CygWin
version and maybe others.
The makefiles no longer strip the created executables.
Reordered source code so many functions can be defined returning "void" (which
means no return value).
Added "tests/how_limit_works.in" tutorial and restored "doc/notes.html".
Testing change to only one kind of partial unfactoring (partial_flag =
true/false, default true), completely distinct from full unfactoring. Used
throughout, let me know if this breaks anything.
Added "simplify fraction" option, which simplifies like Maxima's ratsimp().
ChangeLog:
- Complete rewrite of units implementation, allowing user-defined units
and physical constants.
- Updated included ocamlgsl bindings to 0.6.0.
- Square root of a negative value now returns a complex result.
- gcd(), lcd(), and mod() now accept real-valued arguments.
- Fix for crash in abbrev mode.
- Made a minor Makefile change to correct linking errors under Gentoo
(maybe others).
- Numerous code cleanups. Calculator code has been better separated from
interface code.
- Support --sysconfdir configure option. (Anyone packaging for the
filesystem hierarchy standard will now need to use something like
"./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc".)
- Implemented entry of most fundamental physical constants.
- Fixed incorrect error message regarding deprecated extended_enter command
