Revision history for Perl extension Math::Symbolic.
0.130 Sun Feb 15 23:54:54 2004
- Fixed documentation bug in M::S::VectorCalculus.
- Increased the accuracy of pi and euler number.
- Fixed documentation bug in M::S::Derivative
- Removed Pod::Coverage from the Makefile.PL requirements
- Modified the 00sanity.t tests to only use Pod::Coverage when
availlable.
- Removed 1 test from 20miscalgebra.t which took way too long on
automatted test platforms.
- Renamed 00sanity.t to 00podcover.t and added 00dist.t which uses
Test::Distribution for well, exactly that.
- Modified precompile_grammar.pl (CVS only) to include a $VERSION
in M::S::P::Precompiled.
0.129 Sat Feb 7 19:04:50 2004
- Fixed associativity bug in parser for exponentiation.
- Regenerated the Precompiled Parser.
- Improved simplification of sums and differences.
- Removed some tests that tested methods redundantly with too much
data. These tests unduly slowed down testing to the point that
automatted testing facilities considered the tests failed.
0.128 Wed Feb 4 13:14:12 2004
- Fixed bug in Constant.pm about special tag not being unset when
the value of the constant is changed.
- Documented an important gotcha with the replace() method in Base.pm
- Added an extra check to the apply() method in Operator.pm that
makes sure no "undefined ... in [arithmetic operation]" errors are
generated when computing 1/0.
0.127 Sat Jan 3 19:20:29 2004
- Happy New Year!
- There was an error in the 0.126 distribution related to
the Math::Symbolic::Parser::Precompiled module.
0.126 Sun Nov 9 16:54:26 2003
- Fixed parser bug with asinh, acosh.
- Added Oliver Ebenhoeh to the list of contributors.
- Now including a precompiled Parse::RecDescent grammar
as Math::Symbolic::Parser::Precompiled. That's for startup
performance.

- Implemented binomial_coeff in AuxFunctions.
- Now requiring Memoize to be installed.
- Added META.yml and Makefile.PL dependency.

0.124 Wed Oct 1 15:08:49 2003
- Now value() and apply() return undef if any var is undefined.
- Docs for the above.
- value() on constants that aren't defined die.
- Fixed some documentation oversights.
- Added to_code, to_sub to DefaultDumpers.
- Added fill_in_vars() to Base.
- Moved the run*.pl files to ./examples/
- Added the perltidy.conf that is being used with this module
to the CVS development tree.
- Added WronskyDet to VectorCalc
- Modified MANIFEST.skip to ignore CVS dirs and perltidy.conf
- Added 00sanity.t which uses all modules and uses
Pod::Coverage to test for validity of documentation.
- Added requirement of Pod::Coverage to META.yml and Makefile.PL
0.123 Fri Sep 26 00:49:55 2003
- Fixed the previously slightly broken to_latex() method.

0.118 Tue Sep 9 13:18:24 2003
- No more requiring Parse::RecDescent via Makefile.PL.
After all, you can use Math::Symbolic without the parser
(though you sacrifice the best piece of the interface
that way.)
- Updated META.yml to recommend Parse::RecDescent and require it
for building.
- Added Hesse() to M::S::VectorCalculus.
- Amended tests for M::S::VectorCalculus.
- Fixed typo in AUTHORS sections
- is_identical now auto-parses first argument if not a M::S tree.
- Slightly improved the simplification process using is_identical.
- Fixed various small bugs in M::S::Constant and M::S::Operator.
- Fixed parser bugs related to unary minus.
- Improved unary minus simplification.
- Added more unary minus parsing/simplification tests.
0.117 Mon Sep 8 17:12:36 2003
- Added M::S::VectorCalculus with rot, grad, div, Jacobi
- Referenced it in the docs to the main module.

- Added tests.
- Fixed bug in M::S::Variable
0.116 Wed Sep 3 22:16:51 2003
- Added META.yml
- Removed "Exporter" dependency in Makefile.PL. Who needs to install
Exporter from CPAN anyway?
- Added run14.pl with Math::Complex stuff.
- Math::Symbolic::Parser now defers loading Parse::RecDescent to the
first call of the parser constructor.
- Math::Symbolic now defers creating a parser to the first call of
"parse_from_string".
- Together, the above changes made the testsuite run 30% faster
because many of the basic test scripts don't use the parser.
0.115 Tue Sep 2 16:23:15 2003
- Moved to sf.net
- Ran perltidy over the distro.
- Lots of doc patches including a section on extending the module.
- Added can() overriding to Base.pm in order to reflect method
delegation.
0.114 Thu Aug 28 13:26:47 2003
- Fixed bug in set_value() routine that was introduced in 0.113.
- New example in Math::Symbolic docs
0.113 Sun Aug 17 19:13:28 2003
- Added the MS::Constant pi() constructor
- Added tests and docs.
- Added the MS::Base descend() routine. (This is a biggie.)
- Converted as many descending routines as possible to be using
descend() instead of descending themselves.
These include is_constant, is_simple_constant, is_sum,
apply_constant_fold, apply_derivatives()
- Added new method namespace to be delegated to M::S::Custom:
'contains_.
- Added docs and tests.
- Added replace().
- Fixed a bug in implement(). Now also autoparses strings.
- Added is_identical() to M::S::C::Default
- Split up M::S::C::Default into M::S::C::DefaultTests and
M::S::C::DefaultMods.
- Added the M::S::Base::descending_operands() routine that tries to
find the most sensible operands to descend into.
- Added the operand_finder parameter to descend().
- Moved set_value to M::S::Base and refactored it to use descend().
- Modified implement() similarily to set_value.
- Fixed some bugs in implement(), too.
- Hacked simplify() some more. This needs to be cleaned up real soon.
0.112 Thu Aug 7 19:11:38 2003
- Continued moving functionality into the M::S::Custom::* namespace.
- Moved constant_fold into custom namespace
- Added tests.
- Fixed serious bugs.
0.111 Tue Jul 29 12:38:40 2003
- Added Math::Symbolic::Custom::*.
- Added custom transformation and test functionality.
- Added is_sum(), is_constant(), is_integer() to M::S::C::Default
- Added documentation and tests for the above.
- Moved apply_derivatives() to the MSC::Default namespace.
- TODO goals met with this release:
+ Create a Math::Symbolic::Custom class and a
Math::Symbolic::Custom::Default class.
+ The Math::Symbolic::Custom::Default class is to
contain all builtin simplification and term-transformation
routines.
(Also contains methods that tests trees for particular
properties)
+ All calls to Math::Symbolic methods that cannot be
resolved in the Math::Symbolic inheritance hierarchy
(which should consist of the package itself, anyhow) and
that start with "apply_" should be delegated to the subs
named apply_... in the Math::Symbolic::Custom
package.
('is_', 'test_', and 'mod_' also delegated.)
+ Math::Symbolic::Custom should load
Math::Symbolic::Custom::Default.
+ Math::Symbolic::Custom::Default should inherit
from a package named Math::Symbolic::Custom::Base
which defines a special import routine that automatically
adds the loaded module to the @ISA of
Math::Symbolic::Custom.
(Implemented this using a custom exporter scheme.)
+ Thus, users can extend the number of
Math::Symbolic::Custom's by writing a package with
transformation subroutines in it that just inherits
from Math::Symbolic::Custom::Base. Upon use-ing the
custom module, the routines will automatically be
added to Math::Symbolic's transformation and testing
repertoire.
0.110 Sat Jul 19 15:16:11 2003
- Documentation patches.
- Added total derivatives.
- Fixed the host of bugs that were discovered while implementing
total derivatives.
- Added tests.
- Added docs.
- Added docs section on variable passing styles to Compiler.pm
- Added implement()
- Fixed uncovered bugs in total derivatives.
- TODO goals met with this release:
+ Add signatures to variables.
+ Add signature() methods to all elements.
+ Amend parser to parse signatures.
+ Given the signature-parser enhancements, total derivatives
start making sense.
Since function signatures must be defined by their signatures
when they're used, total derivatives can be applied to all
functions. (Or, if their implementation is still undefined,
they can possibly still be kicked out because of their
non-dependence on a particular variable.)
+ Add tests for sigs.
+ Add tests for the new features.
