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.
Allow calling type-valued functions.
Improve coercion of types.
Add coercions to InputForm.
Improve unparse.
Use SExpression as representation of OutputForm.
Miscellaneous improvements, bug fixes and cleanups.

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.
