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.
Changes since FriCAS 1.0.4:
- improvement to normalize function, it performs now much
stronger simplifications than before
- better integration: due to improved normalize FriCAS can
now integrate many functions that it previously considered
unintegrable
- improvement to Martin Rubey guessing package, for example
it can now guess differential equation for the generating
function of integer partitions
- better support for using type valued functions
- several bug fixes
Changes since FriCAS 1.0.3:
User Interface:
- Add a new emacs mode: just (require 'fricas), M-x fricas and enjoy.
- Add support for inline display of LaTeXed code.
- Add support for mouse wheel.
- Supress SBCL style warnings due to autoloading.
Merge Ralf's wonderful new Aldor interface.

! 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
- quad_qagi accepts upper and lower limits instead of flags for limits
- Cut out solve_inconsistent_error
- new, alternate implementation of vector operations
- colorterm: simple output color-coding
No longer identical.
Don't say Linux since this is for other platforms too.
Don't mention GUI interface in the description for the console package.
By the way, the gtk version is really GNOME, but upstreams calls it gtk.
SciPy is an open source library of scientific tools for Python. SciPy
supplements the popular Numeric module, gathering a variety of high level
science and engineering modules together as a single package.
SciPy includes modules for graphics and plotting, optimization, integration,
special functions, signal and image processing, genetic algorithms, ODE
solvers, and others.
NumPy is a general-purpose array-processing package designed to
efficiently manipulate large multi-dimensional arrays of arbitrary
records without sacrificing too much speed for small multi-dimensional
arrays. NumPy is built on the Numeric code base and adds features
introduced by numarray as well as an extended C-API and the ability to
create arrays of arbitrary type.
There are also basic facilities for discrete fourier transform,
basic linear algebra and random number generation.
Pkgsrc issue: if the package build happens to find a fortran it prefers
over the one pkgsrc is using it will try to use it and the wrong thing
will happen.
* The GNU MathProg modeling language was supplemented with three
new built-in functions:
gmtime obtaining current calendar time
str2time converting character string to calendar time
time2str converting calendar time to character string
* For detailed description of these functions see Appendix A in
the document "Modeling Language GNU MathProg", a new edition of
which was included in the distribution.
* A bug was fixed in the MIP solver.
* A new makefile was added to build the GLPK DLL with Microsoft
Visual Studio Express 2008 for 64-bit Windows.
Version 4.3.6 (February 22, 2004)
* Fixed a label handling error in the `set' function that was
introduced in version 4.3.1. Also cleaned up and documented
Label handling in `complement', `intersection', and `union'.
Version 4.3.5 (February 11, 2004)
* Added support for short int endian conversions in `fread'. This
was a quick fix -- we really need to go through that code (and
`fwrite') to clean it up and support a variety of missing cases.
Version 4.3.4 (December 16, 2003)
* Fixed disassemble bug causing wipeout on `veil' statement.
* Now use --enable-debug instead of --with-debug in configure.
(It was and has been broken since version 4.3.0.)
Version 4.3.3 (December 9, 2003)
* By default, use Doug Lea's dlmalloc package in place of the
C library's malloc. On some systems, dlmalloc is far superior.
For example, Algae's timing suite runs 2.5 times faster with
dlmalloc than with the AIX 5.1 malloc routines. (On Linux,
dlmalloc is the default anyway.)
* Replaced code for `magic' with faster code from Octave.
* Supplied some missing prototypes that caused trouble.
* Quit installing header files. Not sure how or why that got
started, but if you have installed previous versions of Algae,
you may have junk left around in /usr/src/algae.
Version 4.3.2 (November 29, 2003)
* Ouch! Fixed a nasty bug in `filter'.
Version 4.3.1 (November 24, 2003)
* Several efficiency improvements, some pretty dramatic.
* Short ints supported in `fread' and `fwrite'.
* New functions `erf', `erfc', `gcd', `lcm', `primef', `primes', and
`trapz'.
Version 4.3.0 (October 4, 2003)
* Enable linking to fftw (http://www.fftw.org/) for high-performance
Fourier transforms.
* The `fft' and `ifft' functions now handle matrices. By default
they transform each column, but that can be changed with an option.
* The `max' and `min' (and `imax' and `imin') functions now handle
matrix and table arguments. Note: The old versions converted
matrix arguments to vectors, if possible; the new versions may
give different results in those cases.
* The new `circshift' function performs circular shifts of arrays.
* Minor code changes to support Mac OS X.
* Fixed several potential buffer overrun problems.
* Included latest (3 June 2003) SuperLU updates.
* Included current ARPACK patches.
Version 4.2.1 (August 6, 2003)
* Added the `$digits' global variable.
Version 4.2.0 (August 5, 2003)
* New `veil' statement allows temporary changes to global variables.
Version 4.1.4 (August 2, 2003)
* Improved configuration for floating point exception handling.
* Added numerous "volatile" qualifiers, to protect against longjmp
problems with optimized gcc.
* Fix `select' function for zero-length vectors.
Overview of changes in gcalctool 5.24.2
* Re-enable trigonometric types which have been disabled since 2.24.0 (Robert Ancell, Bug #559575)
* Remember setting to ignore change mode warning between instances (Robert Ancell, Bug #556407)
* Always read configuration from /apps/gcalctool not /apps/(appname) as
the application name is different when symlinked (Matt Keenan, Bug #559260).
* Open help with gtk_show_uri() (Thomas Andersen, Bug #556207).
* Removed double conversion in boolean and 32 bit and 16 bit mask operations so
they can handle larger numbers (Robert Ancell, Bug #509988)
* Updated translations: et (Ivar Smolin), pt_BR (Leonardo Ferreira Fontenelle), uk (Maxim Dziumanenko).
* Worked around apparent glibc bug that leads to rare hangs when freeing
semaphores.
* Fixed segfault due to unaligned access in certain obscure problems
that use SSE and multiple threads.
* MPI transforms not included, as they are still in alpha; the alpha
versions of the MPI transforms have been moved to FFTW 3.3alpha1.
* Performance improvements for sizes with factors of 5 and 10.
* Documented FFTW_WISDOM_ONLY flag, at the suggestion of Mario
Emmenlauer and Phil Dumont.
* Port Cell code to SDK2.1 (libspe2), as opposed to the old libspe1 code.
* Performance improvements in Cell code for N < 32k, thanks to Jan Wagner
for the suggestions.
* Cycle counter for Sun x86_64 compiler, and compilation fix in cycle
counter for AIX/xlc (thanks to Jeff Haferman for the bug report).
* Fixed incorrect type prefix in MPI code that prevented wisdom routines
from working in single precision (thanks to Eric A. Borisch for the report).
* Added 'make check' for MPI code (which still fails in a couple corner
cases, but should be much better than in alpha2).
* Many other small fixes.

used during "make test" if various TEST_* environment variables
are set.
Upstream changes:
2.05 2008-10-06 Greg
- New maintainer: Greg Sabino Mullane

* A crude implementation of CPLEX-like interface to GLPK API was
added to the package. Currently it allows using GLPK as a core
LP solver for Concorde, a well known computer code for solving
the symmetric TSP.
* Some bugs were fixed in the SQL table driver.
BaseCnv provides a few simple functions for converting between
arbitrary number bases. It is as fast as I currently know how to
make it (of course relying only on the lovely Perl). If you would
rather utilize an object syntax for number-base conversion, please
see Ken Williams's <Ken@Forum.Swarthmore.Edu> fine Math::BaseCalc
module.

This module is an extension of the Excel::Template module, which
allows the user to use various "engines" from which you can create
Excel files through Excel::Template.
This is a module used for templating Excel files. Its genesis came
from the need to use the same datastructure as HTML::Template, but
provide Excel files instead. The existing modules don't do the
trick, as they require replication of logic that's already been
done within HTML::Template.
to trigger/signal a rebuild for the transition 5.8.8 -> 5.10.0.
The list of packages is computed by finding all packages which end
up having either of PERL5_USE_PACKLIST, BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.perl,
or PERL5_PACKLIST defined in their make setup (tested via
"make show-vars VARNAMES=...").
A package that provides classes and methods for spatial data. The classes document
where the spatial location information resides, for 2D or 3D data. Utility functions
are provided, e.g. for plotting data as maps, spatial selection, as well as methods
for retrieving coordinates, for subsetting, print, summary, etc.
genetics 1.3.4 - 2008-08-20
---------------------------
- Fix bug in makeGenotypes that caused it to ignore the 'sep' argument
when determining which columns contain genotypes & add a corresponing
regression test
genetics 1.3.3 - 2007-04-29
---------------------------
- Correct 'obsolete' use of '$'. R no longer permits '$' to be used
to extract named elements from vectors (just lists).
- Remove the power.casectl() function, which was based on invalid
assumpations. It has been marked depreciated. Please use the
functions in the Bioconductor package 'GeneticsDesign' instead.
genetics 1.3.2 - 2007-11-20
---------------------------
- Fix bug in handling of assignment of NA value(s) to elements of an
existing genotype object.
- Fix warning messages from R CMD CHECK
- Correct documentation error by swapping definitions of kp and alpha
arguments of power.casectl().
genetics 1.3.1
--------------
- fixes in genotypeOrder to ensure all genotype/haplotype combinations
are used.
- genotypeOrder<- is now exported
genetics 1.3.0
--------------
- A note is now displayed on startup:
The R-Genetics project has developed an set of enhanced genetics
packages that will shortly replace 'genetics'. Please visit the
project homepage at http://rgenetics.org for more information.
- binsearch() has been moved to the gtools package
- New function groupGenotype to create groups/levels based on genotype
names
- Added some internal utility functions
(.genotype2Haplotype, .genotype2Allele, and .matchGenotype)
- Genotype class gets additional slot genotypeOrder (and genotype()
function gets additional argument with the same name) in order to enable
predefined order of genotypes in other functions e.g. summary
- Added order, sort and %in% methods for genotype and haplotype classes.
- Fixed genotype() with allow.partial.missing=FALSE when 'alleles' argument
is passed
- There is no more warning in genotype() if 'a1' or 'a2' have NA value(s)
and 'alleles'' argument is specified, since NA is NA anyway
- Fixed documentation of power.casectrl()
- added gtools to Depends as needed by expectedGenotypes(); the latter now
gives sorted genotypes according to order of given alleles
- print.HWE.test() wasn't displaying the observed vs expected genotype
frequency table. Fixed.
genetics 1.2.1
--------------
- Update Greg's email address
- Fixed a bug in function allele.number, as pointed out by Chris
Wallace
CHANGES IN 2.4.2 (2008-05-11)
-----------------------------
- Enhancements and bug fixes for read.xls() and xls2csv():
- More informative log messages when verbose=TRUE
- File paths containing spaces or other non-traditional characters
are now properly handled
- Better error messages, particularly when perl fails to generate
an output .csv file.
- The 'shortcut' character "~" (meaning user's home directory) is
now properly handled in file paths.
- XLS files created by OpenOffice are now properly handled. Thanks to
Robert Burns for pointing out the patch
(http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=7206)
CHANGES IN 2.4.1 (2008-03-24)
-----------------------------
- Update perl libraries needed by xls2csv() and read.xls()
to latest available versions on CRAN.
- Add read.xls() to exported function list
- Correct iris.xls example file. It didn't contain the complete
& properly formatted iris data set. Fixed.
- Fix typo in win32 example for read.xls()
CHANGES IN 2.4.0 (2008-01-30)
-----------------------------
- The keep() function now includes an 'all' argument to specify how
objects with names starting with '.' are handled.
- keep() now shows an informative warning message when a requested
object does not exist
- New vignette "Mapping Levels of a Factor" describing the use of
mapLevels().
- New vignette "Working with Unknown Values" describing the use of
isUnknown() and unknownToNA().
- Several enhancements to read.xls() (thanks to Gabor Grothendieck):
- New function xls2csv(), which handles converting an xls file
to a csv file and returns a connection to the
temporary csv file
- xls2csv() and read.xls() both allow a file or a url to be specified
- read.xls() has a new 'pattern' argument which, if supplied,
will ignore everything prior to the first line in th csv file
that matches the pattern. This is typically used if there
are a variable number of comment lines prior to the header
in which case one can specify one of the column
headings as the pattern. read.xls should
be compatible with the old read.xls.
- Minor fixes to drop.levels(), is.what().
- Implementation of unit tests for most functions.
CHANGES IN 2.3.1 (2006-10-29)
-----------------------------
- Arguments as well as their position of reorder.factor have been changed
to conform with reorder.factor method in stats package, due to collision
bug. Argument 'make.ordered' is now 'order' and old argument 'order' is
now 'new.order'! Therefore, you have to implicitly specify new.order i.e.
reorder(trt, new.order=c("PLACEBO", "300 MG", "600 MG", "1200 MG"))
- trim() gains ... argument.
- Added "unknown" methods for matrices.
- Added c() method for factors based on mapLevels() functions.
- Added write.fwf, which writes file in *F*ixed *W*idth *F*ormat.
CHANGES FROM 2.1.X to 2.3.0 (2006-09-19)
---------------------------------------
- Added mapLevels(), which produces a map with information on levels and/or
internal integer codes. Contributed by Gregor Gorjanc.
- Extended dropLevels() to work on the factors contained in a data
frame, as well as individual factors.
- Add unknown(), which changes given unknown value to NA and vice
versa. Contributed by Gregor Gorjanc.
- Extended trim() to handle a variety of data types data.frames,
lists, factors, etc. Code changes contributed by Gregor Gorjanc.
- Added resample() command that acts like sample() except that it
_always_ samples from the arguments provided, even if only a single
argument is present. This differs from sample() which behaves
differently in this case.
- Updated my email address.
gtools 2.5.0
------------
New features:
- Add checkRVersion() function to determin if a newer version of R is
available.
- Deprecated assert() in favor of base::stopifnot
Bug fixes:
- Fix bug in binsearch() identified by 2.6.0 R CMD CHECK
Other changes:
- Improve text explanation of how defmacro() and strmacro() differ from
function().
- Update definitions of odd() and even() to use modulus operator
instead of division.
gtools 2.4.0
------------
- Add binsearch() function, previously in the genetics() package.
gtools 2.3.1
------------
- Add ask() function to prompt the user and collect a single response.
gtools 2.3.0
------------
- Update email address for Greg
- Add new 'smartbind' function, which combines data frames
efficiently, even if they have different column names.

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

* 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
