* Package help is now converted from Rd by the R-based converters
that were first introduced in 2.9.0.
* HTML help is now generated dynamically using an HTTP server
running in the R process and listening on the loopback interface.
* polygon(), pdf() and postscript() now have a parameter
'fillOddEven' (default FALSE), which controls the mode used for
polygon fills of self-intersecting shapes.
* New debugonce() function; further,
getOption("deparse.max.lines") is now observed when debugging.
* plot() methods for "stepfun" and hence "ecdf" no longer plot
points by default for n >= 1000.
* [g]sub(*, perl=TRUE) now also supports '\E' in order to *end*
\U and \L case changes, thanks to a patch from Bill Dunlap.
* factor(), `levels<-`(), etc, now ensure that the resulting factor
levels are unique (as was always the implied intention). Factors
with duplicated levels are still constructible by low-level means,
but are now declared illegal.
* New print() (S3) method for class "function", also used for
auto-printing. Further, .Primitive functions now print and
auto-print identically.
* The print() and toLatex() methods for class "sessionInfo" now
show the locale in a nicer format and have arguments to
suppress locale information.
* In addition to previously only round(), there are other 'Math'
group (S3) methods for 'difftime', such as floor(), signif(), abs(), etc.
* For completeness, old.packages() and available.packages() allow
'type' to be specified (you could always specify 'available'
or 'contriburl').
* More...

OpenFst is a library for constructing, combining, optimizing, and
searching weighted finite-state transducers (FSTs). Weighted
finite-state transducers are automata where each transition has an
input label, an output label, and a weight. The more familiar
finite-state acceptor is represented as a transducer with each
transition's input and output label equal. Finite-state acceptors
are used to represent sets of strings (specifically, regular or
rational sets); finite-state transducers are used to represent
binary relations between pairs of strings (specifically, rational
transductions). The weights can be used to represent the cost of
taking a particular transition.
This library was developed by contributors from Google Research
and NYU's Courant Institute. It is intended to be comprehensive,
flexible, efficient and scale well to large problems. it has been
extensively tested. It is an open source project distributed under
the Apache license.
* What is new in gsl-1.13:
** Upgraded to latest autoconf and automake (autoconf-2.64,
automake-1.11)
** Fixed the rk4 and bspline allocators to avoid invalid free()
calls under out of memory conditions. [bug #27194, #27236]
** Fixed a bug in gsl_multimin_fminimizer_nmsimplex2 where the center
and size of the simplex were not updated on contract-by-best steps,
causing failures in convergence. [bug #27180]
** Added new functions to set MISER and VEGAS Monte Carlo integration
parameters, and to examine VEGAS chi-squared value and intermediate
results.
** Added the function gsl_bspline_greville_abscissa to compute
Greville abscissae for B-splines.
** The cumulative distribution functions gsl_cdf_gumbel1_{P,Q} should
now handle a larger range of parameters without underflow and
overflow.
** The header file gsl_const_cgs.h no longer defines values for
electromagnetic units. Applications should use gsl_const_cgsm.h
instead to obtain the values in the CGS-Magnetic system. The
previous values for these units given in gsl_const_cgs.h were
ill-defined as the type of CGS electromagnetic system was
unspecified (the values were a mixture of CGS units with the Ampere
of the MSKA system). The affected constants are
GSL_CONST_CGS_BOHR_MAGNETON, GSL_CONST_CGS_ELECTRON_CHARGE,
GSL_CONST_CGS_ELECTRON_MAGNETIC_MOMENT, GSL_CONST_CGS_FARADAY,
GSL_CONST_CGS_GAUSS, GSL_CONST_CGS_NUCLEAR_MAGNETON,
GSL_CONST_CGS_PROTON_MAGNETIC_MOMENT, and GSL_CONST_CGS_ROENTGEN.
** The Pochhammer functions gsl_sf_poch(a,x) and gsl_sf_lnpoch(a,x) now
handle the special cases where a and a+x are zero or negative
integers.
** The confluent hypergeometric function gsl_sf_hyperg_U (a,b,x) now
handles some cases where x=0. The case where 1+a-b is a negative
integer no longer returns an error [bug #22859] and the incorrect
termination of the series in certain cases is fixed [bug #26706].
** Added a new function gsl_poly_eval_derivs to evaluate a polynomial
and its derivatives simultaneously.
** Added a new univariate minimisation algorithm
gsl_min_fminimizer_quad_golden which is a variant of Brent's
algorithm with safeguarded step-length adjustment.
** Added a new Nelder-Mead minimiser gsl_multimin_fminimizer_nmsimplex2rand
which uses a randomly oriented simplex rather than one fixed on
the coordinate axes [bug #25077]
** The texinfo file now uses the dircategory "Software libraries" from
the Free Software Directory, as recommended in the Texinfo manual.
** The function gsl_ran_exponential now includes zero in its output
range. [bug #25039]
** All functions for freeing allocated memory now accept a NULL
pointer, following the standard C convention for free(). [bug
#25319]
** The function gsl_sum_levin_u_accel now handles the special case
c_0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + .... that occurs when summing power series
c_n*x^n with x=0. [bug #26807]
** The functions gsl_linalg_LU_solve, gsl_linalg_LU_svx,
gsl_linalg_LU_refine, gsl_linalg_LU_invert and their complex
equivalents now return an error for singular matrices.
** The multifit LMDER hybrid solvers now check the return code of the
user-supplied function in the gsl_multifit_fdfsolver_set
method. [bug #26871]
** Improved the implementation of gsl_ran_discrete_preproc to avoid
internal errors due to inconsistencies from excess precision on
some platforms. [bug #26502]
** Corrected gsl_sf_hyperg_2F1(a,b,c,x) to not give a domain error in
the case where c is a negative integer and the series terminates
with a finite result.
** The C99 inline keyword is now supported, in addition to the
previously supported GNU-style inline.
** Modified gsl_poly_complex_solve_cubic and gsl_poly_solve_cubic to
avoid returning NaNs in cases where excess precision causes a
change in the number of roots.
** Fixed incorrect length check in gsl_blas_drotm. [bug #26503]
** Fixed gsl_odeiv_step_gear2 to restore y on step failure
** gsl_odeiv_evolve_apply now restores the correct value of t on step
failures [bug #26255].
** Using make install prefix=DIR now puts correct paths in package
config files gsl-config and gsl.pc
** Modified gsl_monte_vegas to work around pow() function inaccuracies
on MinGW [bug #25413].
** Increased the number of terms in gsl_sf_mathieu_a and
gsl_sf_mathieu_b to improve convergence in difficult regions [bug
#25075]
Important changes since 14.4.4:
- General cleanup and addition of helpful descriptive text.
- Cleanup and major bug fixes.
- Enhanced code for use with iPhone.
- Minor corrections and additions to the code and documentation.
pkgsrc changes:
- Adding license definition
Upstream changes:
1.06 Fri Sep 4 2009
- added ability to automatically and rapidly generate different seeds and
return it to allow the generation of identical random number series
aamath is a program that reads mathematical expressions in infix
notation and renders them as ASCII art. It may be useful to send
mathematics through text-only media, such as e-mail or newsgroups.
Packaged by Emil Skoeldberg for pkgsrc-wip.
Implement x11 (on by default) and pgsql (off by default) options.
Changes from 0.6.0 to 0.6.1:
* Statistical bug fixes:
- Report correct standardized regression coefficients in linear
regression output (bug #23567).
* Bug fixes that affect PSPP and PSPPIRE:
- Avoid crash with pie charts (bug #24014).
- Don't append % to count totals (bug #24003).
- Don't crash on bad input (bug #24031).
- Don't crash if "end data." is not left aligned (bug #24115).
- Change default workspace value to 64 MB, to avoid unnecessary
disk accesses on modern machines.
* PSPPIRE bug fixes:
- Add ".sav" or ".por" suffix to filename when saving with Save_As
(bug #23137).
- Make it possible to reopen the output window on Windows (bug
#24033).
- A POSIX regular expression library is now included and used
automatically if the host does not have one or has one that is
inadequate.
* Build fixes and changes:
- Work around bug in GSL that prevented build with recent GCC
versions without manually adding -fgnu89-inline to CFLAGS.
- Also warn about missing prerequisites as we encounter them (bug
#24445).
- Distribute necessary files to allow users working from the
distributed tarball to configure with --enable-gui-tools.
- Append $(EXEEXT_FOR_BUILD) to output file name when building
q2c, fixing build problems on Windows.
- GSL 1.8 or later is now required.
- Build errors with --enable-relocatable were fixed.
* The German translations were removed, since native German speakers
found them too poor to be useful.
Changes from 0.4.0 to 0.6.0:
* The PSPP license is now version 3 or later of the GNU General
Public License. Previously, it was version 2 or later.
* PSPP now has a graphical interface, called PSPPIRE. This
interface allows you to enter data and variable definitions
interactively. Commands may be executed in syntax form, or by
using the interactive dialog boxes available from the dropdown
menus.
* A few sample syntax files are now included in the `examples'
directory.
* Numerous major and minor bugs have been fixed.
Build changes:
* The INSTALL file now reflects the details of how to install
PSPP. It is a tailored version of the generic installation
instructions, instead of a verbatim copy.
* iconv, which is ordinarily installed as part of a Unix-like
system, is now required. If you don't have it already, you can
install GNU libiconv (http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/).
* libxml2 and zlib are new optional dependencies. They are
required to use PSPP's support for reading Gnumeric files.
Statistical procedure changes:
* REGRESSION is a new procedure for fitting linear models to data
via least-squares estimation.
* NPAR TESTS is a new procedure for non-parametric tests. In this
release, it supports binomial and chi-square tests.
* RANK is a new procedure to rank variables. It supports numerous
forms of ranking.
* FREQUENCIES can now output histograms and pie charts. These
features were present in earlier releases, but not documented.
User interface changes:
* In many situations where PSPP once terminated with a fatal
error, PSPP now recovers and continues execution.
* PSPP is now able to start up and run even if it cannot find its
configuration files.
* Journaling of interactive commands to a disk file is now
implemented. By default, journaling is enabled, to a file named
`pspp.jnl' in the current directory. SET JOURNAL may be used to
control journaling.
* The use of `+' between syntax file names on the command line to
prevent the dictionary from being cleared between their
executions is no longer supported. All syntax files are now
executed as if `+' had been specified.
* The -d/--define and -u/--undef command line options are no
longer supported. Instead, use /usr/bin/env or shell primitives
to define or clear environment variables before invoking PSPP.
* If a syntax file named named `rc' is found in a configuration
directory (such as $HOME/.pspp), it is executed before any
syntax file specified on the command line. The -r or
--no-statrc command line option may be used to disable this
behavior.
Output changes:
* Output configuration options have changed. Please refer to the
manual for a full description of the available options.
In consequence, you will need to reinstall your "devices" file.
"make install" will do this for you.
* Most error messages are now written to PSPP output files by
default. SET ERROR can be used to disable this behavior.
* When invoked interactively, PSPP now by default produces output
on the terminal, piping it through the "more" program.
Previously, by default output was written only to file
pspp.list. On most terminals, the page length used for output
automatically adapts to the terminal size, even if the terminal
is resized.
* ASCII driver:
- This driver now supports charts in output. Charts are written
as separate files that the main output file refers to. By
default, charts are written in PNG format to files named
pspp-1.png, pspp-2.png, and so on.
- Configurations are provided that use VT100 (and xterm)
line-drawing characters in tables. The option "-o list-vt100"
requests use of this device for output to pspp.list.
* PostScript driver:
- The default paper size is now determined using the PAPERSIZE
environment variable, or the LC_PAPER locale category on
systems that support it. If these are not set, the default is
now A4, instead of US letter. To make US letter the default,
set PAPERSIZE to "letter" in your environment.
- Font metrics are now read from AFM files, instead of
Groff-format metrics files. PostScript fonts can now be
embedded in output.
In consequence, you will need to install an AFM file for each
font used in PostScript output. "make install" will install
AFM files for the standard PostScript fonts, including the
ones that the PostScript driver uses by default.
- Standard paper sizes no longer need to be specified through a
configuration file. The "papersize" configuration file is no
longer needed, or supported.
- The PostScript prologue is no longer obtained from the
"ps-prologue" configuration file. This configuration file is
no longer needed, or supported.
* HTML driver:
- The HTML prologue is no longer obtained from the
"html-prologue" configuration file. This configuration file
is no longer needed, or supported.
Command language changes:
* The following commands are new:
- GET DATA, which currently supports reading Gnumeric files and
text data files. It will be extended later to read other
types of foreign data.
- CD, to change the current directory.
- INSERT, to execute a syntax file.
- DELETE VARIABLES, to remove variables from the active file
dictionary.
- ADD DOCUMENT, to add text to active file documents.
- CLOSE FILE HANDLE (a PSPP extension; see below).
- XEXPORT, a PSPP extension that is a transformation equivalent
to EXPORT.
* The following functions for transformation expressions are new:
- DATEDIFF, for computing the difference of two dates.
- DATESUM, for advancing a date by a specified duration.
- VALUELABEL, to obtain the value label for a value.
* PSPP now supports very long string variables (over 255 bytes
long).
* MATCH FILES now supports the FIRST and LAST subcommands.
* Previous versions of PSPP prohibited using commands to both read and
write a single file at the same time. Now, PSPP allows this, and
the new version of the file atomically replaces the old version.
* The following commands are no longer available. They will be
re-implemented in a later release:
- CLEAR TRANSFORMATIONS
- MATRIX DATA
- REPEATING DATA
* The PROCESS IF command, which was deprecated, has been removed.
You may replace any usage of it by SELECT IF following
TEMPORARY, which has the same effect.
* The output format for variables created by VECTOR may now be
specified as part of the VECTOR syntax.
"Scratch files", a new PSPP extension:
A scratch file, like a system file, consists of a dictionary and
any number of cases. Small scratch files are stored in memory;
one that grows too large is written to disk. By default, any file
handle whose name begins with # is assumed to refer to a scratch
file.
Scratch files can be used just about anywhere a system or portable
file can be used. Also, portable files are now allowed in most
places that system files were allowed in previous PSPP version.
A new CLOSE FILE HANDLE command allows the storage associated with
scratch files to be freed. It also allows file handles to be
reassigned to new files.
For more information on scratch files, refer to the "File Handles"
section in the PSPP manual. For specifics of what commands now
allow what kinds of files to be specified, refer to the
documentation on those particular commands.
Data access changes:
* Binary formats and IBM/360 formats, including ASCII/EBCDIC
translation, are now supported. Use FILE HANDLE to specify the
format of these files.
* Little-endian, big-endian, and VAX-endian formats are now
supported for integer binary formats when reading and writing
data files. The new RIB and WIB subcommands on the SET command
control endianness of integer data. The default is the host's
native endianness.
* IEEE 754, VAX, and IBM hexadecimal formats are now supported for
floating point binary formats when reading and writing data
files. The new RRB and WRB subcommands on the SET command
control the floating point format. The default is the host's
native floating point format.
* DATA LIST now supports the SKIP subcommand, to skip records at
the beginning of a file. For compatibility, DATA LIST now
treats N format as F format for FREE and LIST format input.
* The SAVE and XSAVE commands now support the UNSELECTED,
PERMISSIONS, NAMES, and MAP subcommands.
* The EXPORT command has been re-implemented to obtain better
results. Support for the UNSELECTED, DIGITS, and TYPE
subcommands has been added.
* For compatibility, PRINT now inserts a space at the beginning of
every output line, even lines that would otherwise be blank,
when OUTFILE is specified. (The behavior of WRITE is
unchanged.)
* For compatibility, PRINT EJECT now inserts the digit `1' at the
beginning of each line that should begin a new page.
* For compatibility, WRITE now outputs the system-missing value as
a field filled with spaces. Binary formats are an exception.
(The behavior of PRINT is unchanged.)
Documentation:
* Input and output format descriptions have been rewritten. They
now precisely describe what is accepted on input and written on
output.
* The descriptions of the PSPP system and portable file formats
have been extensively revised and improved.
Changes from 0.3.0 to 0.4.0:
Newly implemented commands and statistical features:
* EXAMINE, including its graphing features.
* FREQUENCIES now supports percentiles.
* ONEWAY.
* PERMISSIONS.
* SHOW.
* SORT CASES now sorts stably, that is, two cases with equal sort
criteria will be in the same relative order before and after the
sort.
* T-TEST (re-written).
* DATE and USE. These commands are parsed but otherwise ignored,
to enhance compatibility with certain command files that invoke
them unnecessarily.
* VARIABLE WIDTH, VARIABLE ALIGNMENT, and VARIABLE LEVEL. These
currently have no effect on PSPP output, but their values are
written to and read from system files and thus may affect
third-party software.
* SET EPOCH implemented.
* DATA LIST FREE and DATA LIST LIST now support arbitrary field
delimiters.
* FILE HANDLE now supports custom tab widths.
Long variable names (and other identifiers) are now supported. Up
to the first 64 bytes of each identifier is significant. PSPP now
reads and writes system files compatible with SPSS version 12.
New --algorithm and --syntax command line options allow
SPSS-compatible or enhanced modes to be selected.
Support for transformation expressions has been rewritten and
significantly improved. Refer to the manual for details.
Calculation of moments (mean, standard deviation, kurtosis,
skewness) has been rewritten and should now be more accurate. In
--algorithm=enhanced mode moments may be more accurate than SPSS in
some cases.
Numerous bugs have been fixed, too many to mention here. Many new
tests have been added, leading to the discovery and fixing of many
of these bugs.
The ASCII output driver can now squeeze multiple blank lines into
single blank lines.
Much of the code has been rewritten and refactored. It is now much
cleaner.
The FILE TYPE and REPEATING DATA commands have been disabled for
this release because their implementations were deemed too buggy to
be useful. They will be fixed and replaced in a future release.
New pspp-mode for Emacs (in pspp-mode.el).
Added rudimentary command-line completion for interactive input.
lib/julcal and lib/dcdflib are no longer used, so they have been
removed.
Changes to 1.0.7:
* SYNTAX: Added a possibility to exactly specify which variables are copied
into a function's extra dictionary when it is being returned.
E.g. "`(x) [x0] = (x-x0)" will copy x0 from the current context. This
is a lot more efficient than the current behaviour which tries to copy
everything referenced.
* SYNTAX: Add "local" variables by specifying "local x,y,z" or "local *" as
the first statement in a function. Local variables are not visible from
higher contexts (functions called within)
* CHANGE: all system parameters are now protected and cannot be redefined
using the "parameter" keyword
* Add UserVariables, UndefineAll, ProtectAll, and add Undefine as an alias to
undefine.
* Add trigonometric Fourier series related functions:
NumericalFourierSeriesFunction, NumericalFourierSineSeriesFunction,
NumericalFourierCosineSeriesFunction, FourierSeriesFunction,
NumericalFourierSeriesCoefficients, NumericalFourierSineSeriesCoefficients,
NumericalFourierCosineSeriesCoefficients, PeriodicExtension,
EvenPeriodicExtension, OddPeriodicExtension
* Fix changing floating point precision!
* Fix uninitialized variable in graphing (Matthias Drochner)
* Improve variable substitution for returned functions to be more efficient.
Slightly changes behaviour with respect to global functions and variables
used.
* Plot windows now not treated annoyingly as dialogs
* Fix compilation/decompilation of all function attributes.
* Parse/Evaluate with a syntax error at end of string no longer terminate
genius
* Updated Mersenne stuff for the newest data from mersenne.org and
fix MersennePrimeExponents
* Fix opening new files from the command line.
* Update the gel library to use the new language features.
* Various other minor fixes
* Translation updates (Philip Withnall, Jen Ockwell,
Rodrigo Luiz Marques Flores, Daniel Nylander, Mario BlæÖttermann, me)
* For some of the changes the author (Jiri) was partially supported by
NSF grant DMS 0900885 and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Changes since previous package:
2009-06-30, version 1.3.0
* Use the GNU autotools as build system.
* Implemented a more portable module dependency mechanism.
2008-04-05, version 1.2.2
* Re-establish CLN-1.2.0 ABI and fix ARM build, both inadvertently broken in
the previous release.
2008-03-24, version 1.2.1
* Fixed some bugs in the output of numbers larger than 2^32 decimal digits.
* Modifying C/C++ operators like +=, ++, etc. are now enabled by default.
2008-01-19, version 1.2.0
* Save big amounts of memory in computation of some functions and constants by:
- Avoiding pre-computation of series terms and instead computing them in a
streamed way.
- Avoiding computation with excess precision in binary splitting algorithm
by coercion of intermediate integer values to floating-point as early as
possible.
* Added support for huge numbers:
- intC used for all counter loops.
- intE is now a 64-bit type on all 64-bit platforms and even on selected
32-bit platforms.
* CLN now uses C++ exceptions for error handling. The cl_abort() hook is not
supported any more. Please refer to the documentation to learn about existing
exception types.
* Fixed a bug on i386 where comparing Z/2Z ring zeros returnd random results.
* Removed cl_boolean. Use built-in C++ bool instead.
* Dropped the cln-config script. Please use pkg-config instead.
* Updated infrastructure to that of libtool-1.5.24.
* Changed encoding of all files to UTF-8.
* Fix compilation issues with GCC-4.3.
* Fix linking issues on platforms that don't feature weak symbols (like win32).
User visible changes:
Fixed a documentation bug for the sgn() builtin.
Added the 1<<8/2 evaluation example to "help unexpected". That
expression evalutes to 128, not 16 as some C programmers might expect.
Fixed a bug in solve.cal where high was not returned in some situations.
Fixed a bug reported by Paul & Karen Tomlinson (paulnkaz at pktomlinson
dot fsnet dot co dot uk) where calling log multiple times with different
values of epsilon resulted in an incorrect value.
Fixed a bug where an certains typos (e.g., calling an unknown
function) would previously cause calc to exit.

* bug fix in defint
* bug fix in csign
* bug fix in "not"

instead of computing real variance}}.
FFTW 3.2.2
* Improve performance of some copy operations of complex arrays on
x86 machines.
* Add configure flag to disable alloca(), which is broken in mingw64.
* Planning in FFTW_ESTIMATE mode for r2r transforms became slower
between fftw-3.1.3 and 3.2. This regression has now been fixed.
SciPy 0.7.0 is the culmination of 16 months of hard work. It contains
many new features, numerous bug-fixes, improved test coverage and
better documentation. There have been a number of deprecations and
API changes in this release, which are documented below. All users
are encouraged to upgrade to this release, as there are a large number
of bug-fixes and optimizations.
Shared directories can now be created independently by the pacakges
needing them and will be removed automatically by pkg_delete when empty.
Packages needing empty directories can use the @pkgdir command in PLIST.
Discussed and ok'd in thread starting at
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-pkg/2009/06/30/msg003546.html
User-visible changes since previous release:

- New experimental OpenGL/FLTK based plotting system.
- Functions providing direct access to gnuplot have been removed.
- The Control, Finance and Quaternion functions have been removed.
- Specific sparse matrix functions removed.
- Improvements to the debugger.
- Improved traceback error messages.
- Object Oriented Programming.
- Parsing of Command-style Functions.
- Block comments.
- Special treatment in the parser of expressions like "a' * b".
- Single Precision data type.
- Improved array indexing.
- Improved memory management.
- Improved performance for reduction operations.
- Sorting and searching.
- Range arithmetics.
- Various performance improvements.
- 64-bit integer arithmetic.
- Diagonal and permutation matrices.
- Improvements to fsolve.
- Improvements to the norm function.
- New functions for computing some eigenvalues or singular values.
- New QR and Cholesky factorization updating functions.
- New quadrature functions.
- New functions for reading and writing images.
- Other miscellaneous new functions.
- Changes to strcat.
- Improvements to the help functions.
- Deprecated functions.
Changes:
- Comparisons between elements of the Expression domain are undefined.
Earlier versions gave confusing results for expressions like '\%e < \%pi',
now FriCAS will complain about '<' being undefined.
- A domain for general quaternions was added.
- Equality in Any is now more reasonable -- it uses equality from
underlying domain if available.
- Messages about loading of components are switched off by default.
- Release build benefits from parallel make.
- In Spad code a single quote now means that the following token
is a symbol.
- Reorganization of algebra sources, in particular several types
have changed (this may affect users Spad code).
Bug fixes, in particular:
- Categories with default package can be used just after definition
(fixes 1.0.6 regression).
- Plots involving 0 or 1 work now.
- Numbers in radix bigger than 10 appear correctly in TeX output.
- Fixed browser crashes when displaying some domains.
- Fix horizontal display of fractions.
- Allow local domains in conditionals (in Spad code).
- Fixed a problem with splitting polynomials and nested extensions.
faster calculation in Crypt::DH.
Provides support for big integer in BigInt et al. calculations via means of
Math::Pari, an XS layer on top of the very fast PARI library.
o Ensure that the include/ directory exists before installing into it
(uncovered during bulk build, causing include to be a file, and
causing cascading build problems for all subsequent packages
wanting to install include files...)
o Do some other minor adjustments to placate pkglint.
Changes since 14.3.6:
- Perfected the user interface for the sum, product, and integrate
commands.
- Restored initial full simplify in the limit command for better
results, that was unintentionally removed in version 14.1.0.
- Fixed an endless loop in simplification; results look better, too.
- Added "set save" command, which makes all current session options
permanent, by saving them in "~/.mathomaticrc". "set no save"
removes this file.
- Added "mathomatic -s" option, which stands for secure mode. This is
a run-time option that disallows shelling out and writing files, and
was created for use on public servers that can't use the SECURE
compile-time define.
- Doubled the default maximum mathematical expression size to allow
larger expressions.
- A fatal compilation error when compiling with defines other than
UNIX was fixed.
- Slight improvement made to simplification; results are more simple
and stable.
- The maximum integer that can be factored has been raised from 14 to
15 decimal digits.
- Small fix made to fraction command and "simplify fraction" for
better looking fractions.
- Added a "simplify quickest" command option, which does no
unfactoring nor factoring.
- Made full simplification more efficient and simpler by cutting out
unnecessary loops.
- Improved the divide command and enabled its use in the symbolic math
library. Enabled code and variables commands in library, too.
Currently, library output of these 3 commands can only be gathered
by redirecting to a file.
- Added "set autoselect" and "set auto" options. Use "set no auto" to
always store entered expressions into equation spaces, unless it is
a command.

Non-interactive stdin is always available for reading.
Failing to set the 'stdinOwned' flag meant that you could never read from
stdin which wasn't a terminal. Oops.
commit d0604e797cf194eb025a1784766ebea8cf38ec87
Author: Keith Packard <keithp@keithp.com>
Date: Wed Mar 26 23:21:41 2008 -0700
Allow background nickle to not poll on tty ownership
When stdin is connected to a terminal but nickle is not the foreground
process on that terminal, the io code would poll to wait for ownership to
flip back to nickle so that reads could be performed without generating a
signal. Now, nickle waits until someone actually tries to read from the
terminal before starting to poll. This means that simple background
processing nickle programs will not poll every 100ms.

Remove support for non-SIGIO pipes
Older version of the kernel (before 2001) failed to generate SIGIO on pipes,
so nickle had code to poll instead. I think we can safely remove that code
now.

Avoid having the 'pretty_print' builtin show two error messages.
NamespaceLocate takes a 'complain' boolean that will print out an error
message, but the pretty_print command also raises an exception when it fails
to find the name. Two errors is at least one too many here.

-replace hard gnuplot dependency by a MESSAGE as it is only needed
if one really wants to plot a function
-register with desktop-file-utils
bump PKGREVISION
The fix is suboptimal because the y2037 problem remains. It would be
better to either
-extend the "cln" lib for 64-bit integers (but the code is a mess
already) or
-split the time_t into a lower/higher part and convert them seperately,
which is less than elegant.
-add a MESSAGE telling that gnome-vfs or wget are needed to fetch
currency exchange rates automatically, so the (wrong) wget dependency
can be removed from child pkgs
bump PKGREVISION
Overview of changes in gcalctool 5.26.2
* Remove negative sign from numbers rounded to zero. This is
only a partial fix as the error value is still visible in
scientific notation (Robert Ancell, Bug #560802)
* Support odd roots of negative numbers (Robert Ancell, Bug
#576973)
* Keep settings (show zeroes, thousands separator etc) when
changing modes (Robert Ancell, Bug #580398)
* Fix missing license text in about dialog (Robert Ancell, Bug
#579174)
* Updated documentation: el (Jennie Petoumenou)
* Updated translations: el (Jennie Petoumenou), es (Jorge
Gonzalez)
Pkgsrc changes:
o Change from using extension.mk to egg.mk, on hints from wiz@

and Reini Urban!)
Notable changes (compared to 1.0.5 version) include:
- the axiom script is no longer installed (use fricas script instead)

for example now asin(sin(3)) is left unevaluated
- support lambda expressions using '+->' syntax and nested functions
in Spad
- better configure, support for Dragonfly BSD
- faster bootstrap, also parallel (this does not affect speed
of release build)
Several bug fixes, in particular:

for nested products to sometimes give wrong result
- corrected fixed output of floating point numbers,
- operations on differential operators like symmetric power work now

Math::Round is a Perl module. It supplies functions to round numbers,
both positive and negative, in various ways. This may seem like an
odd thing to write a whole module for, but rounding can sometimes be
a little tricky, so I thought some people might find this useful.
Changes since 14.2.7:
12/23/08 - Simplified makefile.
12/26/08 - Fixed rules for simplifying "(x^n)^m" so "misc/john.in" and
others simplify better. Works similar to Maxima now.
12/27/08 - Numeric GCD now properly returns the other parameter, if
either parameter is 0. Renamed "misc/polyroots.c" to
"misc/roots.c" and simplified this example code.
12/30/08 - Added "update" script, which updates the function
prototypes in "cproto.h".
1/1/09 - Optionally factor out the gcd of integer coefficients when
improving readability, for example: 6x+4y becomes 2*((3*x) +
(2*y)). This is now the default.
1/13/09 - Added descriptions of all interesting math scripts in
"tests/README.txt".
1/16/09 - Allow nintegrate and "integrate definite" commands in the
symbolic math library; the bounds are specified in the two
equation spaces following the current equation.
1/18/09 - Made expression and equation entry always consecutively
numbered equation spaces, unless memory is exhausted.
1/19/09 - Made consistent list command output with only one newline
after each equation space.
1/21/09 - Fixed erroneous doubling of parentheses display when solving
and showing steps with "set debug 2".
1/22/09 - Added -b option, to conveniently set bold color mode from
the command line.
1/25/09 - Improved looks of eliminate command by not solving if
equation is already solved.
2/3/09 - Table of contents was added to the Mathomatic User's Manual.
2/5/09 - Added display of any numerical fractions when calculating or
using calculate command; for example, entering "1/2+3/8" now
results in "answer = 0.875 = 7/8".
2/6/09 - Removed erroneous lsqrt() routine obtained from Wikipedia, so
that matho-sumsq works properly now.
2/7/09 - Disable pause command when appropriate (when input not a tty
and for symbolic math library).
2/8/09 - Polished up educational example scripts in "tests" directory.
2/11/09 - Entry of a function now results in "Named functions
currently not implemented" error message.
2/12/09 - Bugfix to matho-primes and added "misc/limits.c".
2/15/09 - The fraction command was fixed to give better results. "set
display2d" flag now no longer affects any results at all, it
only affects 2D output mode.
2/17/09 - Renamed -h (HTML) option to -x, -h is now the help option.
Added -w option to set wide output mode.
3/9/09 - Found the correct formulas for solving the general cubic
equation on Wikipedia, so "tests/cubic.in" always gives
correct answers now.
3/12/09 - Tweak made to simplify result beautifier: factoring priority
only given to real variables now, special constant variables
pi#, e#, and i# have no effect and behave like any constant
now.
3/15/09 - Corrected and improved parse_complex() C function for more
complex number functionality and a bug fix.
3/18/09 - Added "set negate_highest_precedence" option, which allows
the negate operator to be the lower precedence of times and
divide, like it is in Maxima and most other math programs.
3/24/09 - Made "set no autosolve" mode more useful by making it solve
if a solve variable is entered with an equals sign. This
allows easy entry of both single variable expressions (with
no =) and solve variables (with =) while in this mode.
3/27/09 - Selecting equations by entering the equation number was
returning with error if the equation space was empty.
Fixed, you can now select any previously allocated equation
space.
This changes the buildlink3.mk files to use an include guard for the
recursive include. The use of BUILDLINK_DEPTH, BUILDLINK_DEPENDS,
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and BUILDLINK_ORDER is handled by a single new
variable BUILDLINK_TREE. Each buildlink3.mk file adds a pair of
enter/exit marker, which can be used to reconstruct the tree and
to determine first level includes. Avoiding := for large variables
(BUILDLINK_ORDER) speeds up parse time as += has linear complexity.
The include guard reduces system time by avoiding reading files over and
over again. For complex packages this reduces both %user and %sys time to
half of the former time.

on some platforms that lacked shared library support in the past. The
list hasn't been maintained at all and the gain is very limited, so just
get rid of it.
0.68 Fri Jun 30 12:17:01 2006
- Added a new version of phrtsd and the phrtsd_orig option.
0.69 Tue Sep 12 08:55:10 2006
- Changed pow to exp at randlib.c[1040] to get around a bug
with gcc under AIX. (Would it also be possible to avoid
this by using -lmsaa rather than -lm?)
0.70 Fri Oct 12 16:30:18 2007
- Minor corrections to POD.
0.71 Tue Sep 16 15:38:06 2008
- Used $ARGV[0] rather than shift in Makefile.PL. Thanks to John
Fong for the correction.
Pkgsrc changes:
o Adapt to .zip distfile format
o Add HOMEPAGE
Upstream changes:
1.23 18 Dec 2008, Perl 21th birthday version
Minimum Perl version required in META.yml
Pkgsrc changes:
o Re-do patch-ab so that the tests and adaptations for the various
NetBSD archs don't sit inside "if ($os eq 'sunos')" (!).
Upstream changes:
2.010801:
build_paricfg() takes a version argument
write_paricfg(): likewise.
Emit paricfg.h which supports GP/PARI v2.3.4.
Remove the section on CPAN mirroring from README.
INSTALL: Explain how to google when server is down.
Skip another subtest in ploth.t.
Fix treatment of -oo in tests. Still fails, but now with
not ok 12 # in='intmellininvshort(2,4,$tab)-$A'
# out='-3.364954880E-97+9.90717831E-100*I', type='Math::Pari'
# pari==='-3.072350108 E-97 + 9.90717831 E-100*I'
# re_out='\-3\.072350108,?\s*E\-97,?\s*\+,?\s*9\.90717831,?\s*E\-100\*I'
Consider `intfuncinit' as requiring "unsane" precision of limits
(bug in GP/PARI???). Now all tests pass???
* Performance improvements for some multidimensional r2c/c2r transforms;
thanks to Eugene Miloslavsky for his benchmark reports.
* Compile with icc on MacOS X, use better icc compiler flags.
* Compilation fixes for systems where snprintf is defined as a macro;
thanks to Marcus Mae for the bug report.
* Fortran documentation now recommends not using dfftw_execute,
because of reports of problems with various Fortran compilers;
it is better to use dfftw_execute_dft etcetera.
* Some documentation clarifications, e.g. of fact that --enable-openmp
and --enable-threads are mutually exclusive (thanks to Long To),
and document slightly odd behavior of plan_guru_r2r in Fortran.
* FAQ was accidentally omitted from 3.2 tarball.
* Remove some extraneous (harmless) files accidentally included in
a subdirectory of the 3.2 tarball.
Packages Collection.
The Perl 5 module Spreadsheet::Read tries to transparently read
*any* spreadsheet and return its content in a universal manner
independent of the parsing module that does the actual spreadsheet
scanning.
Packages Collection.
The Perl 5 module Spreadsheet::XLSX is a (quick and dirty) emulation
of Spreadsheet::ParseExcel for Excel 2007 (.xlsx) file format. It
supports styles and many of Excel's quirks, but not all. It populates
the classes from Spreadsheet::ParseExcel for interoperability;
including Workbook, Worksheet, and Cell.

! Fix for OpenOffice.org GENERAL format.
http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=7206
Thanks to Niko Tyni and the Debian Perl team
+ Perltidyed source and added standard headers and Pod sections
to all modules.
0.43 7 January 2009
+ Restructured and rewrote the main documentation. This is the start of
a general refactoring. If you would like to keep up to date with it
keep an eye on the Spreadsheet::ParseExcel Google Group.
http://groups.google.com/group/spreadsheet-parseexcel
+ Added worksheets() Workbook method to iterate over the Worksheet objects.
+ Added unformatted() method to get a Cell's unformatted value.
+ Renamed public methods RowRange(), ColRange() and Cell() to row_range(),
col_range() and get_cell(). Old methods are still available.
! Turned on compatibility_mode() by default in SaveParser to avoid SP3
problems.
! Fixed minor SaveParser bug with font rotation.

Eigen 2 is a C++ template library for linear algebra: vectors, matrices, and
related algorithms. It is:
* Versatile. Eigen handles, without code duplication, and in a completely
integrated way:
o both fixed-size and dynamic-size matrices and vectors.
o both dense and sparse (the latter is still experimental) matrices and
vectors.
o both plain matrices/vectors and abstract expressions.
o both column-major (the default) and row-major matrix storage.
o both basic matrix/vector manipulation and many more advanced, specialized
modules providing algorithms for linear algebra, geometry, quaternions,
or advanced array manipulation.
* Fast.
o Expression templates allow to intelligently remove temporaries and enable
lazy evaluation, when that is appropriate -- Eigen takes care of this
automatically and handles aliasing too in most cases.
o Explicit vectorization is performed for the SSE (2 and later) and AltiVec
instruction sets, with graceful fallback to non-vectorized code.
Expression templates allow to perform these optimizations globally for
whole expressions.
o With fixed-size objects, dynamic memory allocation is avoided, and the
loops are unrolled when that makes sense.
o For large matrices, special attention is paid to cache-friendliness.
* Elegant. The API is extremely clean and expressive, thanks to expression
templates. Implementing an algorithm on top of Eigen feels like just copying
pseudocode. You can use complex expressions and still rely on Eigen to
produce optimized code: there is no need for you to manually decompose
expressions into small steps.
* Compiler-friendy. Eigen has very reasonable compilation times at least with
GCC, compared to other C++ libraries based on expression templates and heavy
metaprogramming. Eigen is also standard C++ and supports various compilers.
and tested by Aleksej Saushev and Stathis Kamperis.
Major changes:
- Expand code for special functions
