MuPAD-Combinat version 1.3.0 (stable) released

After almost five years of existence, MuPAD-Combinat has reached its
cruise speed with a team of 16 developers and contributers on
board. On behalf of this team, I am pleased to announce the release of
MuPAD-Combinat 1.3.0 (stable). Among many other improvements and new
features (see below), symmetric functions are now functional on all
platforms, including windows.

MuPAD-Combinat is an open-source algebraic combinatorics package for
the Computer Algebra System MuPAD. Its main features are:
* classical combinatorial classes such as partitions or tableaux;
* classical combinatorial algebras such as symmetric functions;
* tools for building user defined combinatorial classes and algebras.
