July 23, 2008 Release Notes

The July 2008 release marks the second large-scale change toward a
literate Axiom distribution. The original change was to make every
file into a pamphlet document. This second change draws Axiom into
tighter collections, called books (for obvious reasons). 

There is a new "books" directory which contains 14 books, most of
which are new:

 bookvol0:  The reconstructed Jenks and Sutor book
 bookvol1:  The published tutorial volume
 bookvol2:  Users Guide
 bookvol3:  Programmers Guide
 bookvol4:  Developers Guide
 bookvol5:  Interpreter
 bookvol6:  Command
 bookvol7:  Hyperdoc
 bookvol7.1 Hyperdoc Pages
 bookvol8:  Graphics
 bookvol9:  Compiler
 bookvol10: Algebra
 bookvol11: Browser
 bookvol12: Crystal

All of these books now exist. Portions of the current system have
been moved completely into book form (Graphics and Hyperdoc) so
the old files have been removed from the src tree. Both Graphics
and Hyperdoc are now built directly from their book. Work will 
follow on other parts of the system.

These books are online at:





There is an interesting side-effect of using literate technology.
Once you combine C and .h files into a single document so that each
file is a separate chunk it becomes obvious that there is no need for
local include files. The lines that read:
   #include "foo.h"
become
   <>
and get expanded inline. Once you do this it also becomes obvious
that many include files get included multiple times (a clear waste
of disk I/O and preparser time). Further it becomes clear that there
is no need for creating tiny .o files since all of the source can
be combined into one C file using chunks. 

These approaches were used to reduce the compile-time overhead
for both the graphics and the hyperdoc functions.




In addition to consolidating the source files for Graphics into
bookvol8 there were several other changes.

  * the functions for graphics, that is, viewman, view2d, view3d
    and viewalone are now built as single C files. 
  * the graphics code was reorganized into chapters of related code
  * there is the beginnings of documentation
  * there is the beginnings of a test suite based on the 
    CRC Handbook of Curves and Surfaces
  * the book is hyperlinked (Bill Page, Frederic Lehobey, Anatoly Raportirenko)
  * redundant code was eliminated
  * the code is fully indexed
  * the src/graph subdirectory is gone



In addition to consolidating the source files for Hyperdoc into
bookvol7 there were several other changes.

  * the functions for hyperdoc, that is, spadbuf, ex2ht, htadd, hthits
    and hypertex are now built as single C files
  * the hyperdoc code was reorganized into chapters of related code
  * there is the beginnngs of documentation
  * redundant code was eliminated
  * scroll wheel handling was added (Gregory Vanuxem)
  * the book is hyperlinked (Bill Page, Frederic Lehobey, Anatoly Raportirenko)
  * the code is fully indexed
  * )hd now works to start or restart Hyperdoc (Jose Alfredo Portes)
  * the src/hyper subdirectory is gone



In addition to consolidating the hyperdoc pages into bookvol7.1
there were several other changes:

  * the pages are hyperlinked
  * new latex macros were written to simplify page handling
  * images of hyperdoc pages were added
  * forward and backward hyperlinks between pages images works
    making it possible to "browse" the hyperdoc pages using only
    the single PDF file (Bill Page, Frederic Lehobey, Anatoly Raportirenko)
  * the pages are fully indexed
  * the src/hyper/pages subdirectory is gone



A combined table of contents PDF is now automatically generated
which covers all of the volumes. This makes it easier to find the
topic of interest.


In addition there were several other changes.

  * Some fixes were made for different platforms
       In particular, Fedora9 breaks the build and needs work

  * The configure script was replaced by instructions
       The standard (export AXIOM) works everywhere so the configure
       script is useless for guessing.

  * the FAQ was updated about git
       Since the May 2008 release the primary Gold source code platform
       is github. The FAQ was updated to reflect this.

  * the FAQ was updated about X11
       X11 has moved yet again so more notes are needed

  * move axbook to books
       The hyperlinked version of Jenks is now built from the books dir

  * add Ralf Hemmecke's documentation to ax.boot
  * add Monoid multiply to DirectProduct (Ralf Hemmecke)
  * add Monoid multiply regression test

May 27, 2008 Release Notes


COMPUTER ALGEBRA TEST SUITE

A large part of the effort for these two months has involved detailed
test cases of Axiom's integration routines against Schaum's Handbook
of Mathematical Formulas. Of the 619 integrals, the detailed results are:

419 Schaums and Axiom agree
137 No closed form solution
 60 Cannot simplify

  2 Typos found in Schaums
  1 Axiom bug

The Axiom bug was in src/algebra/intef.spad.pamphlet. There was a
fix applied to this code for a previously identified bug but the
previous fix was incorrect.

In addition, there were
 src/input/danzwill2.input.pamphlet added for the MIT Integration tests
 src/inputmapleok.input.pamphlet to fix typos
 src/input/kamke1.input.pamphlet had ode97 removed due to running time
 src/input/kamke2.input.pamphlet ode104, ode105 removed for running time

March 25, 2008 Release Notes

Summary: March 2008 release

Axiom is now available at github, a git-based code repository.
This site will have the Gold version of Axiom, that is, only
code that changes at each two-month release. To get a clone type:

   git-clone git://github.com/daly/axiom.git


USER VISIBLE CHANGES

  One primary focus of this release has been extending the Firefox
  toward being a full Axiom user interface (as opposed to a simple
  hyperdoc replacement). The Firefox console page has new, AJAX
  based, dropdown menus which are planned to be dynamically updated
  to display available functions for the last computed type. This 
  should make it much easier to find the applicable functions by
  category and type. They are currently static in this release.

* Firefox Pages

 o Dropdown menus were added to the Axiom console page
 o More hyperdoc pages were translated to Firefox/html
 o Bitmaps and graphics are now properly handled in pages
 o A minor mathml fix was applied (for invisible times)

* Refcard

 o An Axiom reference card of Axiom commands was created (src/doc/refcard)

* Examples

 o It is often difficult to figure the exact arguments required to call
   any given function in Axiom. The )display operation command used to
   only show the available modemaps. This command has now been changed.
    )display operation foo
   now shows examples of function calls for foo.

* Help

 o The plot routines have new help files and documentation

PORTING

 o Axiom was ported to MAC-OSX

 o The binary download page now has binaries for 
   Ubuntu, OpenSUsE, Redhat9, Redhat72, Debian, MACOSX at 
    

 o Binaries for the this release will be available shortly.


INTERNALS

* Compiler changes
 o  hashtables were used to speed up compiles

* Algebra changes
 o  There are new special functions, Ei,En,Ei1,Ei2,Ei3,Ei4,Ei5,Ei6
 o  The prime and BasicSieve functions are faster
 o  The Brent/Pollard algorithm was documented
 o  Bad gcd reductions are checked (heugcd regression test file added)
 o  The plot routines have new help files and documentation

* Makefile changes
 o  Bi-capital SVN copies are no longer made

* Interpreter changes
 o  Book Volume 5 has new documentation on the display function
 o  The display function code has been translated and moved to book volume 5
 o  PI has a higher internal precision
 o  Mappings are now properly hashed for Aldor

CATS (Computer Algebra Test Suite)

 o The differential equations regression tests are being checked against
   Mathematica, Maple, and Maxima. This has happended for the kamke2.input
   regression test file and will happen for the other regression tests.

o  Complex Gamma, logGamma, and log(Gamma) have additional tests and
   documentation.

January 25, 2008 Release Notes

Summary: January 2008 release

There have been two major concentrations of effort in this release.

The first concentration is on the new Firefox Hyperdoc and the
second concentration was the verification of Axiom against
published standards.




Firefox Hyperdoc

The Firefox Hyperdoc has been integrated with the rest of the
interpreter. The new )browse command causes Axiom to listen and
serve hyperdoc pages on port 8085. 

The interpreter was changed to add the )browse command. As a 
side-effect new documentation was added to the interpreter
volume (bookvol5) to explain top-level command handling. In
addition, lisp and boot code was rewritten as part of the
literate change.

New sections were added to cover the beginning of the Computer
Algebra Test Suite (CATS) subsection which brings a focus on
compliance with published standards.

Arthur Ralf's mathml-enabled version of the Jenks book is fully
integrated into the Firefox Hyperdoc. Arthur also fixed some
rendering and ambiguity issues.

  axbook.tgz              fix the user/group settings
  axserver.spad           fix lastType output re: errors
  bookvol5                browse and top-level command handling 
  bookvol11               add standards compliance for gamma
  gammacomplexinverse.png added
  gammacomplex.png        added
  gammareal3.png          added
  loggamma.png            added
  mathml.spad             fix ambiguity bug in mathml output
  mathml.spad             fix hex(10) mathml rendering 
  mathml.spad             fix F,3 mathml rendering 
  mathml.spad             remove code to eat %% 
  psi.png                 added 




Standards Verification

The Computer Algebra Test Suite (CATS) effort checks the results
that Axiom generates against published results. Axiom has an
extensive set of regression tests (the KAMKE suite) for ordinary
differential equations, for integration (the SCHAUM suite), and
for numeric special functions (the ABRAMOWITZ suite). In addition,
results have been checked against Mathematica, Maple, and Maxima.

  asinatan.input   regression for the functions asin and atan
  asinhatanh.input regression for the functions asinh and atanh
  besselk.input    regression for the function besselK
  e1.input         regression for the function E1
  en.input         regression for the function En
  exp.input        regression for the function exp
  gamma.input      regression for the function gamma
  log.input        regression for the functions log
  pfaffian.input   regression for the function pfaffian
  seccsc.input     regression for the functions sec and csc
  sincos.input     regression for the functions sin and cos
  sinhcosh.input   regression for the functions sinh and cosh
  tancot.input     regression for the functions tan and cot
  tanhcoth.input   regression for the functions tanh and coth




New Functions Added

Axiom is missing various special functions found in other computer
algebra systems. This release adds two new ones, the Exponential
Integral E1 and the higher order Exponential Integral En.  These have
been tested against the published results.

  special.spad E1 added
  special.spad En added




Bugs Fixed

There are 15 bug fixes in this release:

  bug 7015: fix hex(10) mathml rendering
  bug 7016: remove code to eat %% 
  bug 7019: fix F,3 mathml rendering 
  bug 7023: discardGraph free corrected 
  bug 7042: ignore regression test gensym
  bug 7045: wrong Makefile for Xpm fix 
  bug 7052: spurious remake of axbook
  bug 7054: /home/silver path in bookvol11
  bug 7057: ambiguity in mathml
  bug 7089/343: FreeAbelianGroup order 
  bug 7090/355 handle besselK
  bug 7093: Function name fix
  bug 7100/149: numlock in hyperdoc
  bug 7101/204: MoreSystemCommand unnecessary loading 
  bug 7102/412: Equality testing in TableAggregate 




Regression test fixes

As changes happen in the system the regression tests are updated
to reflect the new conditions. Changing the category of PositiveInteger
caused (a + -bi) to print as (a - bi). New builds raised gensym faults
which were fixed. And new builds change random numbers so the tests
that depend on them are marked "ok" despite failures due to randomness.
The FreeAbelianGroup bug is tested.

  acplot.spad     fix output form of negative numbers
  calculus2.input fix function names 
  classtalk.input ignore gensyms
  collect.input   fix function names 
  dfloat.input    handle negative number output
  easter.input    fix function names 
  elemnum.input   handle negative number output
  exlap.input     fix function names 
  exsum.input     fix function names 
  free.input      added to test bug
  grpthry.input   mark random generation failures ok
  grpthry.input   fix function names 
  ico.input       mark random generation failures ok
  intg0.input     ignore gensyms
  is.input        type declare function
  kamke3.input    mark random generation failures ok
  knot2.input     fix function names 
  lodo.spad       ignore regression test gensym 
  mapleok.input   ignore gensyms
  mathml.input    handle new mathml sub/sup change
  ndftip.input    fix missing blank lines
  pmint.input     rewritten
  repa6.input     fix function names 
  r20bugs.input   change spacing
  sf.spad         fix output form of negative numbers
  tbagg.input     regression for equality testing in TableAggregate




Algebra file changes

The fundamental change was a supposedly transparent move of
the category for PositiveInteger. This had the effect of changing
the output form and broke several regression tests. Some mathml
issues were fixed. The new functions E1 and En were added. The
FreeAbelianGroup bug was fixed.

  axserver.spad  fix lastType output re: errors
  acplot.spad    fix output form of negative numbers
  combfunc.spad  fix bold font handling
  integer.spad   category change for PositiveInteger
  sf.spad fix    output form of negative numbers
  sf.spad        handle besselK
  op.spad        handle besselK 
  combfunc.spad  handle besselK 
  free.spad      fix FreeAbelianGroup bug 
  special.spad   add E1
  special.spad   add En
  mathml.spad    fix ambiguity bug in mathml output
  mathml.spad    fix hex(10) mathml rendering 
  mathml.spad    fix F,3 mathml rendering 
  mathml.spad    remove code to eat %% 



Interpreter changes

The primary changes are the addition of bookvol11 for the Firefox
Hyperdoc and the literate documentation of the top level command
handling in bookvol5 (the interpreter) along with rewrites of the
lisp/boot code.

  bootfuns.lisp move $systemCommands to bookvol5
  bookvol5      browse and top-level command handling
  bookvol11     added
  http.lisp     mathObject2String for hex(10) 
  incl.boot     move incBiteOff to bookvol5
  intint.lisp   move setCurrentLine to bookvol5
  int-top.boot  move ncloopCommand, etc. to bookvol5
  i-syscmd.boot move $SYSCOMMANDS to bookvol5
  Makefile      wrong Makefile for Xpm fix 
  makegraph.c   discardGraph free corrected 
  nci.lisp      move ncloopInclude to bookvol5
  setq.lisp     move command initialization to bookvol5



Documentation changes

  bookvol5      explain top level input handling (lisp/boot rewrite)
  combfunc.spad fix bold font handling
  axiom.sty     add binom
