* clean up litter in pre-clean
XXX is there a good reason we don't support a post-clean?
buildlinkify.
Explicitly disable Guile support as this was broken anyway, because
gnumeric needs at least Guile-1.5, which is a development version that
is only available through CVS.
foo-* to foo-[0-9]*. This is to cause the dependencies to match only the
packages whose base package name is "foo", and not those named "foo-bar".
A concrete example is p5-Net-* matching p5-Net-DNS as well as p5-Net. Also
change dependency examples in Packages.txt to reflect this.

version in pkgsrc. There are many, many bugfixes, better compliance with
S3/S4, and many additional statistical analysis functions added to the
base library. There is also an improved (faster) garbage collector and
support for dynamically sizing the memory used by R. The full summary of
changes may be found on the R Project website.
BUILDLINK_PREFIX.<pkgname>. This allows buildlink to find X11BASE packages
regardless of whether they were installed before or after xpkgwedge was
installed. Idea by Alistair Crooks <agc@pkgsrc.org>.
checked correctly. Can cause scilab to crash instead of printing a warning.
Patch came from Giuseppe Allodi <Giuseppe.Allodi@fis.unipr.it>
posted to comp.soft-sys.math.scilab.
bump to 2.6nb1.
Changes:
Version 20.1
MA and kinds rebased on new package Properties (which grew out of the
old activeattr.py file previously in MA). Masked arrays can now be
pickled.
Properties provides a easy-to-use method to have a name act
as if it is a attribute of the class but be able to control reading,
writing, and deleting of that attribute via methods of the class.
Applied patch that fixes errors when Python is pymalloc-enabled (dmcooke).
Applied patch to add new support in LinearAlgebra for symmetrical
eigenvalue problems. (Allesandro Mirone)
Applied patch to fix comparisons to None in MLab.py (jbmoody).
Found and fixed another one in RandomArray.py.
Applied suggested fix by Mark Hadfield to let setup_all.py work on
systems where Python is installed in a directory path that contains
a space.
Version 20.0
Redo setup.py so that binary windows installers for Numeric, FFT, MA,
etc. can be made automatically. Packages LALITE and RANLIB merged back
to top level. Adjustment for BLAS in setup.py.
Documentation of Numeric module made more compatible with pydoc.
argmin/argmax/argsort/sort errors with axis specs fixed (bug #233805)
-- also made them capable of handling args that can be converted to
arrays by adding an array(a, copy=0) at the start.
Fixes sum, product, cumsum, cumproduct, alltrue, sometrue to deal with
zero shape and to take arguments that can be converted to arrays.
MA: See changes.txt file in MA for bug fixes and improvements.
New option for average to return sum of weights.
Fix bug in putmask so that it handles targets of type object.
Because of reference counting issues this is done in Python, not C,
and would not be more efficient than doing your own loop, but we
include it for completeness.
In Packages add draft implementation for PEP 0242, Numerical Kinds.
Add PyArray_CopyArray to the API (Thanks to Dave Grote).
Add defines for cygwin.
In arrayobject.h, add static declaration to importing API pointer.
May solve OS X problems.
Fix bug in FFT packages, added new test. (Thanks to Warren Focke)
Added __deepcopy__ method equal to __copy__ method. Throws an exception
if the target is an array of type 'O'. But this at least allows non-object
type arrays to be copy.deepcopied. If someone has time they can do this case.
* What is new in gsl-0.9:
** There is a new system of vector and matrix views. Any code using
vector and matrix views will need to be updated.
** The order of arguments of the view functions involving strides have
been changed to be consistent with the rest of the library.
** The ode solvers have been reorganized.
** There are new eigensystem routines for real symmetric and complex
hermitian matrices.
** The linear algebra directory now includes functions for computing
symmetric tridiagonal decompositions and bidiagonal decompositions.
** The svd routines now include the Golub-Reinsch and Modified
Golub-Reinsch algorithms in addition to the Jacobi algorithm.
** The interpolation directory has been reorganized and a higher-level
"spline" interface has been added which simplifies the handling of
interpolation arguments.
** IEEE support is now available on OpenBSD.
BitVector is a fairly extensive and fast BitVector class for Ruby.
Handles sequences of up to 2**32-1 bits (about 500 Mb). Implemented
as a wrapper around Bit::Vector version 6.0 by Steffen Beyer.
shared libraries.
Changes between NTL 5.0c and 5.1a
Some minor fixes and additions.
Completely backward compatible.
* Added a routine LatticeSolve() for finding integer solutions to
linear systems of integer equations.
* Modified the stragey used by the LLL() and image() routines in the
LLL package to deal with linear dependencies. The new strategy
guarantees better worst-case bounds on the sizes of intermediate
values. I'm not sure if it will have any serious practical impact,
though.
* Added some "partial ISO modes" so that one can use some of the
features of Standard C++, even if ones compiler does not yet
support all of the features.
* Bug fix: routine determnant() in mat_GF2.h was not visible to the
linker because of a typo in mat_GF2.c.
* Made a "smarter" script for selecting the GetTime() function. This
fixes an installation problem on Cygwin/Windows 95 platforms. I
hope it doesn't create more problems than it solves, though.
* Added some extra documentation for installation under Windows/MS
Visual C++.
* Changed some names like c_lip.c to c_lip_impl.h. This should avoid
some potential installation problems.
* Throw away first 256-bytes of arc4 streams to improve quality of
the pseudo-random number generator. This may change the precise
behavior of some programs.
* Other minor, internal modifications.
CXXFLAGS, and LDFLAGS by the buildlink.mk files so remove the extra
definitions to add them from the package Makefiles. As advised by the
bsd.buildlink.mk file, also ensure that the buildlink.mk files are
included prior to defining any package-specific CFLAGS/LDFLAGS to ensure
that the buildlink directories are at the head of the compiler search
paths.
Use BUILDLINK_INCDIR, BUILDLINK_LIBDIR for locations of linked headers
and libraries. Create a variable BUILDLINK_TARGETS whose value is the
list of build-link targets to execute.
* What is new in gsl-0.8:
** The build process now uses the latest libtool and automake
** The library should now compile with Microsoft Visual C++
** Portable versions of the isinf, isnan and finite functions are
available as gsl_isinf(x), gsl_isnan(x) and gsl_finite(x).
** The definitions of GSL_POSINF, GSL_NEGINF and GSL_NAN no longer
cause divisions by zero during compilation.
** The gsl_interp_obj has been renamed to gsl_interp
** The poly_eval and pow_int functions have been moved from the
specfunc directory to the poly and sys directories.
** The Chebyshev functions are now available as an independent module
in their own directory.
** The error handling conventions have been unified across the
library. This simplifies the use of the special functions.
** A full CBLAS implementation is now included for systems where ATLAS
has not been installed. The CBLAS library can also be used
independently of GSL. The organisation of the BLAS directories has been
simplified.
** IEEE support for HPUX-11, NetBSD, Apple Darwin and OS/2 are now
included.
** The library now includes implementations of log1p, expm1, hypot,
acosh, asinh, atanh for platforms which do not provide them.
** The convention for alloc and set functions has changed so that they
are orthogonal. After allocating an object it is now necessary to
initialize it.
** There is a new module for estimating numerical derivatives of functions
** There is a new module for handling data with ntuples
** The histogram lookup functions are now optimized for the case of
uniform bins, and include an inline binary search for speed.
** The Chebyschev coefficients for the QAWO algorithm are now
precomputed in a table for efficiency, rather than being computed on
the fly.
** There are several new sorting functions for selecting the k-th
smallest or largest elements of a dataset.
** Iterator functions are now available for permutations,
gsl_permutation_next and gsl_permutation_prev.
** The function gsl_complex_xy has been renamed gsl_complex_rect
** The API for simulated annealing has been changed to support search
spaces in which the points cannot be represented as contiguous-memory
data structures. gsl_siman_solve() now takes three extra arguments: a
copy constructor, a copy function and a destructor, allowing
gsl_siman_solve() to do its work with linked data structures. If all
three of these function pointers are NULL, then the traditioanl
approach of using malloc(), memcpy(), and free() with the element size
is used.

This is an implementation of a VSIP Library (Vector/Signal/Image
Processing Library) as defined by the VSIPL Forum for a CORE profile.
The TASP_VSIPL library is an effort to produce a VSIPL library
suitable for demonstration and early development and testing of VSIPL
code and ideas.
The Tactical Advanced Signal Processing Common Operating Environment
(TASP COE) effort is striving to produce a common operating
environment for signal processing throughout the Navy and DOD for the
COTS environment. VSIPL is thought by TASP to have a good chance of
becoming a standard signal processing library for many vendors who
supply DOD high performance computing products. For this reason TASP
is supporting the VSIPL effort.
This is the TASP VSIPL Core Plus implementation of VSIPL. Core Plus
includes all the functionality of the core profile plus most floating
point Vector and Elementwise Operations not required by the VSIPL Core
profile. The additional functions include such things as matrix
elementwise add and multiply.
The TASP VSIPL code is required to be freely available for any
use.
* Install library as libpari.a. (Previously the package installed
libpari.a.2.1 and created a symbolic link libpari.a).
* Fix warning about O_RDONLY being redefined.
LINPACK is a collection of Fortran subroutines that analyze and solve
linear equations and linear least-squares probles. The package solves
linear systems whose matrices are general, banded, symmetric
indefinite, symmetric positive definite, triangular, and tridiagonal
square. In addition, the package computes the QR and singular value
decompositions of rectangular matrices and applies them to
least-squares problems. LINPACK uses column-oriented algorithms to
increase efficiency by preserving locality of reference.
LINPACK was designed for supercomputers in use in the 1970s and early
1980s. LINPACK has been largely superceded by LAPACK which has been
designed to run efficiently on shared-memory, vector supercomputers.
BUG FIXES
- t-functions using ellipsis argument (...) crashed Tela (this was due to the
"deep" copy object array feature introduced in previous version 1.31, cure
was to introduce another internal type KShallowObjectArray which is now used
in Tprg::execute() in prg.C)
- memory leak in object arrays (object.C:Tobject::setsize, deep clear was missing)
(also this bug existed only in version 1.31, not before, because object array
semantics was changed from shallow copy to deep copy in 1.31).
USER-VISIBLE CHANGES
- new diag() function contributed by Ch.Spiel which allows a second input argument
specifying the super- or sub-diagonal (the default zero meaning the main diagonal),
this function is compatible with Matlab's and also compatible with the old diag()
function (std.ct)
- added global symbol NaN if compiler supports NaN's (ieee754.h header is present and working) (tela.C)
and cause problems if left.
Touch "parse.cc" and "parse.h" so that they won't get remade. (The configure
script doesn't detect bison correctly anyway).
Remove a duplicate entry from PLIST.
Make it work with the readline currently in pkgsrc.

This library contains routines to compute cumulative distribution
functions, inverses, and parameters of the distribution for the
following set of statistical distributions:
(1) Beta
(2) Binomial
(3) Chi-square
(4) Noncentral Chi-square
(5) F
(6) Noncentral F
(7) Gamma
(8) Negative Binomial
(9) Normal
(10) Poisson
(11) Student's t
(12) Noncentral t
Given values of all but one parameter of a distribution, the other is
computed. These calculations are done with FORTRAN Double Precision
variables.
Thanks to the scilab folks at INRIA for helping us get rid of 9 more patches!
From the CHANGES file:
Main Changes Scilab 2.5 -> 2.6
==============================
NEW FUNCTIONALITIES
===================
Automatic graphic rescaling when combining 2D plots, axis handling
Isometric 3D plots. Thanks to Enrico Segre
3D plots shading. Thanks to Stephane MOTTELET
Error messages handling

Modeless message box added
Profiling of functions execution added
Real time simulation in Scicos. Thanks to Anders Blomdell
Scicos diagram linearization and fixed point computation
OTHERS IMPROVEMENTS
===================
A more professional licence
Input/Output improved (carriage return at the end of the file are not
required anymore, OS independent ascii file input, handling of opened
files )
More complete mexlib for MatlabV mex interface.
Many bug corrected in integer types manipulation
API improved, many examples given
A better window management under KDE
A better plugin interface (help, demos,...) and new Scilab functions for
building and loading interfaces.
Interactive demos for ODE and DAE solving added
Scicos' GUI improved, customizable keyboard shortcuts added
Default list, tlist and mlist display can be overloaded
It is now possible to draw dashed lines in color. Background now work
with postscript driver. Easiest argument passing to plot2d, plot3d,...
GIF driver bugs fixed.
INCOMPATIBLITY
==============
help and scicos palettes handling have changed.
Fraclab toolbox has been moved to the contributions part and is no
more included in the package
The Communication Toolbox (geci) is now obsolete. It will be removed in
next release. Use PVM instead.
2.1.5 --> 2.2
-------------
Bug fixes:
- The sign convention for rotation angles was not correctly applied
in Scientific.Geometry.Transformation and Scientific.Geometry.Quaternions.
Everything was consistent, but with the wrong sign.
Improvements:
- Scientific.IO.PDB can handle a larger range of variant formats for DNA
New features:
- New module Scientific.Visualization.VPython.
- Scientific.IO.TextFile also handles bzip2 compressed files
(extension .bz2). This only works if bzip2 is installed.
2.1.4 --> 2.1.5
---------------
New features:
- Scientific.TkWidgets.TkPlotCanvas:
- Popup menu on right button
- Value display on middle button
- HorizontalLine, VerticalLine objects
Modifications:
- MPI interface no longer assumes that MPI_Op and MPI_Datatype are
integers (they aren't in LAM, for example).
2.1.3 --> 2.1.4
---------------
New features:
- New MPI functions implemented by Jakob Schiotz:
- nonblocking send and receive
- abort
- reduce and allreduce
Modifications:
- The Python interpreter lock is released during calls to the netCDF
library, permitting other threads to continue during I/O operations.
An internal lock has been added to prevent reentrant calls to the
netCDF library, which is not thread safe.
(If you don't understand any of this, you shouldn't care, it has
no consequences unless you use threads.)
- Methods receive and receiveString on MPI communicator objects
can be called without source and tag arguments (defaults to None).
Bug fixes:
- The compilation script did not work correctly for MPI support
2.1.2 --> 2.1.3
---------------
New features:
- Some small utility widgets have been added to Scientific.TkWidgets.
They are not particularly "scientific", but not worth the effort
of a separate distribution.
Bug fixes:
- The abs() function didn't work on DerivVar objects (modules
Scientific.Functions.Derivatives and Scientific.Functions.FirstDerivatives)
with negative values.
- The method projectionOf in Scientific.Geometry.Objects3D.Plane was
wrong.
2.1.1 --> 2.1.2
---------------
Installation:
- The mpipython executable is compiled using 'mpicc', which should simplify
installation significantly because all library specifications are
automatically taken into account. In other words, MPI support should
work on all platforms without any modifications to the Setup file.
(Thanks to Jakob Schiotz for this suggestion!)
- Some 'extern' declarations were changed to 'staticforward' to please
some compilers.
Documentation:
- the documentation for the methods receive and receiveString were
wrong.
2.1.0 --> 2.1.1
---------------
Bug fixes:
- The upper bound for MPI message tags was not treated correctly,
leading to a bound of zero on some platforms.
Modifications:
- The methods sendArray and sendString were combined into a single
method send.
- broadcastArray was renamed to broadcast, shareArray was renamed to share,
receiveArray was renamed to receive. The only function that retains
a data type indication is receiveString.
2.0.1 --> 2.1.0
---------------
Additions:
- MPI interface in Scientific.MPI
* What is new in gsl-0.7:
** Linux/PowerPC should now be well supported.
** Header files for common physical constants have been added.
** Functions linear and nonlinear regression in one or more dimensions
are now available.
** Vector and matrix views now have access to the address of the
underlying block for compatibility with VSIPL (www.vsipl.org).
** There is a new library for generating low-discrepancy quasi-random
sequences.
** The seeding procedure of the default random number generator
MT19937 has been updated to match the 10/99 release of the original
code. This fixes a weakness which occurred for seeds which were
powers of 2.
** The blas library libgslblasnative has been renamed libgslblas to avoid
confusion with system blas library
o add @exec/@unexecinstall-info directives to PLIST
o slightly change the path's for the documentation
(share/doc/octave instead of share/octave/doc etc.)
o install html docs into share/doc/html/octave
first component is now a package name+version/pattern, no more
executable/patchname/whatnot.
While there, introduce BUILD_USES_MSGFMT as shorthand to pull in
devel/gettext unless /usr/bin/msgfmt exists (i.e. on post-1.5 -current).
Patch by Alistair Crooks <agc@netbsd.org>
to be bug fixes mostly, plus a couple of new features:
* Release 'Mini-Morten' -- a cute little thing of
about 3k She leaks, though. (Congratulations !)
* Reworking plugin architecture to support JIT loading
* Improve scrollbar and enable optional live scrolling
* Add a sample implementation of python based scripting
The API is written in sand so don't get comfortable
* Enable indent from left and right
* Persist sheet prefs
Version 1.31 (Released 8 Mar 2001)
----------------------------------
USER-VISIBLE CHANGES
- copying an object array (see help voids) is now "deep" copy rather than "shallow" copy.
This means that when an object array is assigned to another variable, a completely new
copy is made (before, only the first array level was copied). Mostly this won't affect
you at all because (1) you are using object arrays only if you are using voids() in some
phase in your program, (2) if you are, then you are probably using only single-level
object array. The old behaviour was simply stupid. Object arrays are a crude but working
mechanism for using heterogeneous combined types in Tela; the only relevant function
(in the present Tela version) is voids(), which acts as a constructor for such things.
Thanks to Ch. Spiel for suggesting this change (object.C).
- quit() and exit() now accept input argument (the exit value) (std.ct)
- sort() function now accepts second input argument (user-defined comparison function) (std.ct)
(old function still available as sort_old in case of problems).
- slight change in semantics of --shared option for telakka (telakka.in)
The above were contributed by Christoph Spiel <cspiel@hammersmith-consulting.com>
- added incomplete gamma and beta functions (specfun.t)
(specfun.t not autoloaded, but after source("specfun.t") functions are available).
- added function polymul and added polyadd,polymul to autoload (poly.t,telainit.t)
- added function applyfilter (numerics.ct)
- added functionwise profiling option (tela -p) (tela.C,prg.C)
BUG FIXES
- doing dot product (**) of two zero-length integer vectors produced a LAPACK error message
and Tela quit (la.ct)
- tree.C:DeleteObjects() accessed memory after it being freed, which however did not cause
any problems in practice (unless using malloc debug libraries), but is anyway now fixed
INTERNAL CHANGES
- Some modernizations in configure script (e.g., now tries to link with
libatlas by default instead of libblas if available) (configure.in)
PARI-GP is a package which is aimed at efficient computations in
number theory, but also contains a large number of other useful
functions. It is somewhat related to a Computer Algebra System, but
is not really one since it treats symbolic expressions as mathematical
entities such as matrices, polynomials, series, etc..., and not as
expressions per se. However it is often much faster than other CAS,
and contains a large number of specific functions not found elsewhere,
essentially for use in number theory.
This package can be used in an interactive shell (GP) or as a C/C++
library (PARI). It is free software, in the sense of freedom AND 'free
of charge'.
For a changelog, I didn't find more than:
Numeric 17.3.0 is intended to be the last release before adding
capabilities supported by Python 2.1. This is a routine catch-up to CVS
release.
using the newest PNG library won't work on system with an older one. To
prevent such problems with precompiled binary packages require at least
"png-1.0.9nb1" in all dependences.
Tela (TEnsor LAnguage) is a scientific computing language and
environment. It is mainly targeted for prototyping large-scale
numerical simulations and doing pre- and postprocessing for them, and
it replaces a compiled language like C++ or Fortran in this
respect. The feature set is therefore biased to operations needed in
partial differential equation solvers. A relatively complete graphics
is included via a separate program (PlotMTV). Tela uses HDF format as
native save/load format. It can also read/write Matlab binary files
and some ASCII files.
Tela is generally 2-4 times faster than Matlab, the extremeties
encountered so far are 0.9-11. Even though Tela is mainly a
prototyping and development environment, modest-size 2D simulations
can be run in modern (1994) desktop workstations while preserving
"interactive" response times. Only large 2D or 3D simulations must
usually be coded in C or Fortran and run on supercomputers.
METIS is a family of programs for partitioning unstructured graphs and
hypergraphs and computing fill-reducing orderings of sparse matrices.
The underlying algorithms used by METIS are based on the
state-of-the-art multilevel paradigm that has been shown to produce
high quality results and scale to very large problems. It is
available both as a set of stand-alone programs and as a library.
