- 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"
* bug fix in implicit3d
* bug fix in sublist

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.

- 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.
