* Added support for erorr function (erf).
Version 1.1.5
* Re-licensed under GNU Public License version 3.
09/09/12 - Allow use of editline library in Mathomatic, because somehow
use of GPL libraries in LGPL code is not allowed, and GNU readline
is GPL. I am so confused about this Debian bug#687063:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=687063
Based on the bug report's information sources,
it appears he is saying the truth about this license issue,
so I will have to upload new versions of
Mathomatic with editline instead of readline to Debian.
The only noticeable difference should be it doesn't save
the history between Mathomatic sessions.
I will comply with all that request it,
though most distributions do not include editline,
which has no major licensing restrictions. Readline is still
perfectly usable and good as before, you just have to link
it in yourself.
09/10/12 - Going to have to make a new release already, 2 days after the last
one, so I can upload this readline licensing fix to Debian by
linking with editline. There is no reason for anyone to upgrade
to version 16.0.4, unless you wish to link with editline instead
of readline. The proper code has been added. All you have to do
is have the editline libraries loaded on your system,
and run "make EDITLINE=1" to compile and link Mathomatic with
editline.
Mathomatic version 16.0.4 released Monday 09/10/12.
CHANGES MADE TO MATHOMATIC 16.0.2 TO BRING IT UP TO THE NEXT VERSION:
New command "set load" loads the current set options startup file again,
displaying the startup file as it reads it in.
If the file doesn't exist, or something is wrong, then an error message is
displayed and the set command returns with failure.
Accidently putting "load" in the startup file is now handled correctly.
08/09/12 - Allow "matho-primes all" and the command "list primes all" in
Mathomatic to continually output consecutive prime numbers.
08/12/12 - Fixed any rman errors in the makefile so they won't be ignored.
08/17/12 - rmath and matho no longer set the debug_level or modulus_mode,
so they can be set by the startup options file.
08/19/12 - Allow the repeat prefix on the approximate command, making it
approximate and simplify as much as the calculate command
does. Hopefully someday it will just give a temporary
result, too. Numerical input into the symbolic math library
now uses "repeat approximate" instead of just "approximate"
to approximate the user's input, so the result is the
same as the Mathomatic application's result.
Disallow the same warnings to be repeatedly displayed, if the
current warning is the same as the previous warning.
08/20/12 - Allow directory names as read command arguments, instructing
the read command to change the current directory to the specified
directory. Without any arguments, the read command now does an
"ls" command in Unix/Linux, and "dir" under MS-Windows, listing
the current directory contents. Running Mathomatic with a
directory name argument now conveniently changes directory to
that directory, then gives you the main prompt.
08/28/12 - Made "integer" type variables much more useful. For example,
the following now happens generally:
1-> i^(4*integer)
#1: i^(4*integer)
1-> simplify
#1: 1
1-> i^((4*integer) + 1)
#2: i^((4*integer) + 1)
2-> simplify
#2: i
2-> i^((4*integer) + 2)
#3: i^((4*integer) + 2)
3-> simplify
#3: -1
3-> i^((4*integer) + 3)
#4: i^((4*integer) + 3)
4-> simplify
#4: -1*i
08/29/12 - Displays "Calculating..." whenever autocalc is used now.
08/30/12 - Added ability to set the normal text color.
Still defaults to no color. Use "set color 0" to set the normal
text color to green, as it has been for many years in the past.
08/31/12 - Removed the "set preserve_surds" option, since the approximate
and calculate commands all take care of undoing that.
The code remains, however "set preserve_surds" is no longer
advertised. I have never used it.
Surds are preserved, for accuracy's sake, by default.
09/05/12 - "set" as a null set option works now, so no one will have any
trouble setting-up the set options startup file.
Mathomatic version 16.0.3 released Saturday 09/08/12.

-bugfixes, cleanup, other minor improvements
pkgsrc note: shlib major changed
CHANGES MADE TO MATHOMATIC 16.0.1 TO BRING IT UP TO THE NEXT VERSION:
A nice cleanup and documenting of everything, while my mind still works.
07/23/12 - Enabled links in "manual.pdf" (the Mathomatic User Guide
and Command Reference), they were not working before,
but they work great now.
07/24/12 - Allow -a option ("set alternative") with sets alternative
color mode, useful in MS-Windows when using Cygwin with the
MinGW compiled version.
07/27/12 - Two bug fixes today:
Fixed using rlwrap under Cygwin and possibly other places,
when running rmath.
get_yes_no() question asker wasn't working in Cygwin or rmath.
Fixed to always ask the question, even if the input is not a TTY.
07/28/12 - Reading directories and empty files gives an error now.
07/30/12 - Split off changes.txt to changes.txt and changes_series_15.txt.
changes.txt and NEWS now contain only series 16 changes.
Added tests/batman_gnuplot_bug.in to prove there is a plotting bug
in gnuplot itself.
08/01/12 - Removed directive to use large font in the CSS for all Mathomatic
documentation. This is so it can be browsed easily with a mobile
device. The font size should be set by the user.
08/02/12 - A one-sided expression with an equals sign now only sets the
expression equal to zero if autocalc didn't work on it. In the
Symbolic Math Library, or without autocalc enabled, all is the
same. This makes it more likely purely numerical input is only
calculated, even when preceded or followed by an equals sign,
when autocalc is enabled. Reason for this change:
Why would you want to set a constant equal to 0?
Fixed a bunch more error reporting bugs coded into version 16.0.1
of Mathomatic to apply identical operations to both sides of an
equation. All fixed now. Points to the error correctly now, too.
08/04/12 - Major change to Symbolic Math Library. It now works exactly like
the application when it comes to purely numerical input,
approximating and displaying the result, however sign variables
are not expanded and the result is not 100% simplified,
so running "simplify sign" afterwards helps with that.
To revert to the old way, just turn off autocalc, or set
the numerical input equal to some normal variable; then there
will be no automatic approximation nor simplification.
You can tell when an input has been approximated because it
was numerical input, because it will always be preceded with
"answer =".
08/05/12 - m4/degrees.m4 copied with m4/functions.m4, when installing with
"make m4install", thanks to a suggestion by Reini Urban,
maintainer of the Cygwin version.
Mathomatic version 16.0.2 released Monday 08/06/12.
CHANGES MADE TO MATHOMATIC 16.0.0 TO BRING IT UP TO THE NEXT VERSION:
07/06/12 - Confirmed successful compilation and testing with the
Tiny C compiler (tcc). Only needed to set the tcc linker
library directories to the current gcc library directories
to make it work (using the -L option).
Searched globally for the word "simply" and fixed many outdated
texts in the Mathomatic documentation and READMEs, deleting some
wrongly used "simply"s, too.
07/07/12 - Allow "set modulus_mode language", where language is C, Java,
Python, or positive.
07/08/12 - Now leaving the "UNIX" C preprocessor define alone,
when "HANDHELD" is defined. "UNIX" was previously
forced undefined.
07/11/12 - "make test", "make check", and ./t now display the actual
Mathomatic version number being tested.
matho-primes now has a -v (display version number) option,
like Mathomatic does.
Mathomatic now automatically clears out all old
numeric calculations if it runs out of equation spaces,
requiring no action from the user.
07/12/12 - The solve command never needs the "repeat solve" prefix anymore.
The repeat flag is always set for the solve command, so that
it will always do full simplifies when verifying.
Added quadratic formula derivation and proof to
"tests/quadratic.in".
07/17/12 - I came up with a swinging new and easy way to add, subtract,
multiply, divide, modular and integer divide,
and raise to the power of both sides of an equation by any
expression. To add x+1 to both sides of the current
equation, just type "+=x+1" at the main prompt. To divide both
sides by c^2, type "/=c^2". You can add stuff to non-equations
too, this way. Be sure and use the simplify command after this
if needed, because only a small amount of simplification is done
by default, just enough so you can see what is happening.
07/20/12 - Changed floating point to rational floating point conversion
routine (f_to_fraction()) to ignore converting anything with
over 15 digits, for greater accuracy.
This fixes some small accuracy bugs: "factor number 17!" now gives
an error instead of the wrong value.
07/21/12 - Integrate, Laplace, and Numerical Integrate commands now warn
when the current equation is not a properly solved equation.
Mathomatic version 16.0.1 released Sunday 07/22/12.

API Changes
See Version 1.7 notes and API changes
Summary of important user-visible changes for version 3.6:
---------------------------------------------------------
** The PCRE library is now required to build Octave. If a pre-compiled
package does not exist for your system, you can find PCRE sources
at http://www.pcre.org
** The ARPACK library is no longer distributed with Octave.
If you need the eigs or svds functions you must provide an
external ARPACK through a package manager or by compiling it
yourself. If a pre-compiled package does not exist for your system,
you can find the current ARPACK sources at
http://forge.scilab.org/index.php/p/arpack-ng
** Many of Octave's binary operators (.*, .^, +, -, ...) now perform
automatic broadcasting for array operations which allows you to use
operator notation instead of calling bsxfun or expanding arrays (and
unnecessarily wasting memory) with repmat or similar idioms. For
example, to scale the columns of a matrix by the elements of a row
vector, you may now write
rv .* M
In this expression, the number of elements of rv must match the
number of columns of M. The following operators are affected:
plus + .+
minus - .-
times .*
rdivide ./
ldivide .\
power .^ .**
lt <
le <=
eq ==
gt >
ge >=
ne != ~=
and &
or |
atan2
hypot
max
min
mod
rem
xor
additionally, since the A op= B assignment operators are equivalent
to A = A op B, the following operators are also affected:
+= -= .+= .-= .*= ./= .\= .^= .**= &= |=
See the "Broadcasting" section in the new "Vectorization and Faster
Code Execution" chapter of the manual for more details.
** Octave now features a profiler, thanks to the work of Daniel Kraft
under the Google Summer of Code mentorship program. The manual has
been updated to reflect this addition. The new user-visible
functions are profile, profshow, and profexplore.
** Overhaul of statistical distribution functions
Functions now return "single" outputs for inputs of class "single".
75% reduction in memory usage through use of logical indexing.
Random sample functions now use the same syntax as rand and accept
a comma separated list of dimensions or a dimension vector.
Functions have been made Matlab-compatible with regard to special
cases (probability on boundaries, probabilities for values outside
distribution, etc.). This may cause subtle changes to existing
scripts.
negative binomial function has been extended to real, non-integer
inputs. The discrete_inv function now returns v(1) for 0 instead of
NaN. The nbincdf function has been recoded to use a closed form
solution with betainc.
** strread, textscan, and textread have been completely revamped.
They now support nearly all Matlab functionality including:
* Matlab-compatible whitespace and delimiter defaults
* Matlab-compatible options: 'whitespace', treatasempty', format
string repeat count, user-specified comment style, uneven-length
output arrays, %n and %u conversion specifiers (provisionally)
** All .m string functions have been modified for better performance or
greater Matlab compatibility. Performance gains of 15X-30X have
been demonstrated. Operations on cell array of strings no longer pay
quite as high a penalty as those on 2-D character arrays.
deblank: Now requires character or cellstr input.
strtrim: Now requires character or cellstr input.
No longer trims nulls ("\0") from string for Matlab
compatibility.
strmatch: Follows documentation precisely and ignores trailing spaces
in pattern and in string. Note that this is documented
Matlab behavior but the implementation apparently does
not always follow it.
substr: Now possible to specify a negative LEN option which
extracts to within LEN of the end of the string.
strtok: Now accepts cellstr input.
base2dec, bin2dec, hex2dec:
Now accept cellstr inputs.
dec2base, dec2bin, dec2hex:
Now accept cellstr inputs.
index, rindex:
Now accept 2-D character array input.
strsplit: Now accepts 2-D character array input.
** Geometry functions derived from Qhull (convhull, delaunay, voronoi)
have been revamped. The options passed to the underlying qhull
command have been changed for better results or for Matlab
compatibility.
convhull: Default options are "Qt" for 2D, 3D, 4D inputs
Default options are "Qt Qx" for 5D and higher
delaunay: Default options are "Qt Qbb Qc Qz" for 2D and 3D inputs
Default options are "Qt Qbb Qc Qx" for 4D and higher
voronoi: No default arguments
** Date/Time functions updated. Millisecond support with FFF format
string now supported.
datestr: Numerical formats 21, 22, 29 changed to match Matlab.
Now accepts cellstr input.
** The following warning IDs have been removed:
Octave:associativity-change
Octave:complex-cmp-ops
Octave:empty-list-elements
Octave:fortran-indexing
Octave:precedence-change
** The warning ID Octave:string-concat has been renamed to
Octave:mixed-string-concat.
** Octave now includes the following Matlab-compatible preference
functions:
addpref getpref ispref rmpref setpref
** The following Matlab-compatible handle graphics functions have been
added:
guidata uipanel uitoolbar
guihandles uipushtool uiwait
uicontextmenu uiresume waitfor
uicontrol uitoggletool
The uiXXX functions above are experimental.
Except for uiwait and uiresume, the uiXXX functions are not
supported with the FLTK+OpenGL graphics toolkit.
The gnuplot graphics toolkit does not support any of the uiXXX
functions nor the waitfor function.
** New keyword parfor (parallel for loop) is now recognized as a valid
keyword. Implementation, however, is still mapped to an ordinary
for loop.
** Other new functions added in 3.6.0:
bicg nthargout usejava
is_dq_string narginchk waitbar
is_sq_string python zscore
is_function_handle register_graphics_toolkit
loaded_graphics_toolkits recycle
** Deprecated functions.
The following functions were deprecated in Octave 3.2 and have been
removed from Octave 3.6.
create_set spcholinv splu
dmult spcumprod spmax
iscommand spcumsum spmin
israwcommand spdet spprod
lchol spdiag spqr
loadimage spfind spsum
mark_as_command sphcat spsumsq
mark_as_rawcommand spinv spvcat
spatan2 spkron str2mat
spchol splchol unmark_command
spchol2inv split unmark_rawcommand
The following functions have been deprecated in Octave 3.6 and will
be removed from Octave 3.10 (or whatever version is the second major
release after 3.6):
cut is_duplicate_entry
cor polyderiv
corrcoef shell_cmd
__error_text__ studentize
error_text sylvester_matrix
** The following functions have been modified for Matlab compatibility:
randperm
CHANGES MADE TO MATHOMATIC 15.8.5 TO BRING IT UP TO THE NEXT VERSION:
Code, documentation, and user interface improvements, corrections,
and cleanup. Fixed many possible bugs, some where the wrong level global
expression buffers were being used.
05/26/12 - Push command improved with better responses. Same functionality.
In the source code, tune-up variable integer_coefficients was
renamed to "factor_out_all_numeric_gcds", because Mathomatic always
tries to have integer coefficients this year, but it doesn't always
factor out all numeric GCDs unless factor_out_all_numeric_gcds
is true, or the factor command is used. The default is false,
for more orderly and revealing coefficients.
Of course, much of what Mathomatic does is
try to improve readability and simplicity.
There is no need to set this variable, just use the factor command.
05/27/12 - Removed C declarations for memmove(3), the defaults in
/usr/include/string.h are probably better and what's wanted in
every case. It would be very odd if this didn't work 100%.
05/28/12 - readline history file renamed to "~/.matho_history" from
"~/.mathomatic_history". File name was too long for CygWin.
Tested thoroughly compiling, installing, and running under
the latest CygWin. Works fine, except for rlwrap. "rlwrap -v"
returns with error, a successful return is how I test for its
existence.
Made output redirection work with the "list primes" command.
06/02/12 - Cleanup of Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows binary distributions.
The Windows binary distribution now includes m4 scripts, in case
CygWin is installed, allowing use of m4 Mathomatic in Windows.
Fixed MinGW version to not output two carriage returns at the
end of every line of list command output.
06/03/12 - If compiled with -DSHOW_RESOURCES, will give total CPU usage and
RSS size in the "version status" command. Requires OS support.
Some OSes will show even more information. Uses getrusage(2).
06/04/12 - Allow breaking out of user line-input requests with Control-C.
Still have to hit the Enter key, but the command will be aborted.
06/05/12 - Added "lib/example.c", the simplest example yet of Symbolic Math
Library usage. Compile with "compile.testmain" or practice
compiling it by hand.
The simplify command now returns the number of expressions
simplified, so you can tell if "simplify sign" worked.
The solve command can now require verification, by using the
"verifiable" option, instead of the "verify" option. This causes
unverifiable solves to return with failure, aborting any reads.
Fixed missing code in internal C function free_mem().
I don't think it was used by anyone. A call to free_mem() is
now made on exit, if Mathomatic is compiled with -DVALGRIND, to
check for memory leaks.
06/08/12 - Added polynomial factoring to GCD result of divide command.
It is always handy to know what the factors are of the GCD.
Allow comma (,) at the end of most input lines. A comma now
terminates an expression instead of giving an error. Allow
commas all over the place, where-ever logical, in any
Mathomatic command-line. They are used as separators,
more so than spaces.
06/09/12 - Cleaned up variables command to always allow the count parameter,
and to line up everything with 8 character wide tabs.
Added ability to place the definite integration bounds on the
integrate command-line, just like the nintegrate command.
Added titles to most help command pages.
06/10/12 - The "factor number" command works much nicer now, and allows comma
separators and zero.
Developers should note that to remain the same as past versions,
HTML mode needs to be "set html all" to output HTML at all times
in both the application and the symbolic math library, even when
redirecting output. Now setting all HTML mode with
"make pdfsheet". "set html" only outputs HTML code to standard
output.
06/13/12 - Added warning in "misc/known_bugs.txt" about LLVM/Clang optimizer
failure when compiling Mathomatic with LLVM/Clang instead of gcc.
If you enable any optimization at all, entering (32^.5) and the
like will hang Mathomatic, putting it in an endless loop.
So when compiling Mathomatic with LLVM/Clang, always disable
optimization with "-O0", so that it will then run and pass
all of the tests in 1 second and not be infinitely slower.
Mathomatic will hang during "make test"
if compiled with optimization enabled using LLVM. Mathomatic is
not noticeably slower when compiled without any optimization,
because everything is memmove(3)s and floating point arithmetic.
06/15/12 - Added repeat option to replace command. A handy feature that
lets you try plugging different values into an equation. It
checks if the result is an identity, too.
06/18/12 - The version command now has a "status" option, which behaves
as before, displaying all version and status information.
The version command by itself now only displays the Mathomatic
version number. Running "mathomatic -v" is now a good way of
testing for the existence of Mathomatic on your system, only
outputting the version number to standard output and exiting
successfully.
06/19/12 - Removed the parenthesizing of variable names in all messages.
If the current expression is a non-equation, then prefixing or
suffixing an expression with "=" will add that expression as
the other equation side now, conveniently making it an equation
you can solve.
06/22/12 - Added equation number ranges option to tally command. Type
"tally -" to resume if the current equation hasn't changed. Type
"tally all" to add together all stored expressions as the starting
value. Specifying equation numbers or ranges will silently add
them, then prompt for the next things to add. The average option
now displays the number of entries (count) each time the average
is displayed. When you exit by typing an empty line, the current
total is saved in the next available equation space and made
current, so it can easily resume with "tally -". "-" by itself
always means the current equation.
gnuplot now works with MS-Windows better. Tried running a Windows
gnuplot test from scratch, without Cygwin, and it didn't work.
It should be mostly fixed now. So go ahead and try plotting
in Windows, after downloading and installing gnuplot. Please
complain if any problems.
Fixed a long-running problem with the plot command, by asking the
user questions, only if needed, so that gnuplot will not give an
error if you are multi-expression plotting.
06/23/12 - Moved load_rc() out of main.c so that the Mathomatic startup set
options file can be loaded by the library, if the developer wishes.
Changed a few things so that "set save" and "set no save" will work
if load_rc() is called beforehand.
06/25/12 - The simplify command has been fixed for optimal integer coefficient
factoring results and so "180*(sides-2)" simplification works
nicely, by keeping the result the same as the start by
factoring out rational constants greater than 1 (this is new),
along with less than 1,
if the coefficients remain or become integers.
Many things cleaned up and finished, like the official
documentation, the "code integer" command, and "examples/fact.c".
06/27/12 - Allow an ASCII string after the "set save" command, to save only
that string in ~/.mathomaticrc, so that string, which should be set
options, is for every Mathomatic session to start with.
For example, "set save bold color" will start out Mathomatic in
bold color mode every time. Enter "set no save" to remove.
"set save" by itself saves all of the current set options for every
future session.
Mathomatic version 16.0.0 released Friday 06/29/12.
