File Release Notes and Changelog
Release Name: 1.0.5
Notes: fricas-1.0.5-full.tar.bz2 is a "full" source tarball containing pregenerated Lisp file and images. It also contains noweb. You need to install Lisp compiler before building FriCAS. FriCAS 1.0.5 should build on Linux, many Unix like systems (for example Mac OSX and Solaris 10) and Windows (see INSTALL). To use graphics and HyperDoc under Windows see INSTALL.CYGWIN. fricas-1.0.5.i386.tar.bz2 is 32-bit binary for i386 Linux. fricas-1.0.5.amd64.tar.bz2 is 64-bit binary for amd64 (x86_64) Linux. Binaries are _not_ specific to any distribution, they should work equally well on various distributions. fricas-1.0.5.cygwin.tar.bz2 is a Windows (Cygwin) binary. To install binaries: 1) unpack the tarball 2) move usr/local/lib/fricas subdirectory to a convenient place 3) move scripts form usr/local/bin subdirectory to some place in the path 4) edit fricas and efricas scripts replacing usr/local/lib by path you chose in step 2. For Cygwin binary you need to install Cygwin first. When in doubt see: http://fricas.sourceforge.net/doc/INSTALL-bin.txt
Changes: Notable changes (compared to 1.0.4 version) include: - 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
