Bear version 0.9.4 released

Bear is a mathematical research tool for studying Bers slices and complex projective structures on punctured tori.

Version 0.9.4 is a bugfix release that also incorporates minor feature enhancements. The build system is now more robust and portable, and problems building on Darwin / Mac OS X have been fixed. A new ODE solver 'LSODE' was added, and a new 'blocking' feature eases the subdivision of larger calculations into small pieces for distributed computing. Full details can be found in the release Change Log. This release is available as gzipped source, or as an i386 binary package in deb (Debian GNU/Linux unstable) format.
