Changes to 1.0.26
* The range boxes in the plot dialog are now evaluated rather than being
spin boxes, so that one can use arbitrary genius expressions there.

* Various fixes stemming from the port to GTK3 and from various new compiler
warnings.
* File chooser dialogs are now native.
* Fix saving of settings in the presence of old style settings directories.

Мирослав Николић, Daniel Mustieles, Kristjan Schmidt)
Changes to 1.0.23
* Stop depending the build system on gnome-common
* Help is now built as HTML and displayed in the browser,
meaning it actually works, links work, and it doesn't
depend on any particular desktop environment being installed.
The HTML help is also shown in the command line version when
"manual" is run.
* New example for Duffing equation
* New example on traces of the Peano function

* Add a line plot version of the heat equation FDM animation example,
and improve the surface plot version
* Add argument principle example
* Add two Mandelbrot set examples and a Newton's fractal example
* Add examples for visualizing complex mappings
* Add example vizualizations for Riemann and Darboux sums
* Split the examples into submenus as there is now too many of them
* Add "filled" property to lines to allow drawing filled polygons
* Add LinePlotWaitForClick and LinePlotMouseLocation functions for interactive
programs (used for some of the above new examples)
* LinePlotDrawPoints and LinePlotDrawLine accept a column vector of
complex nubmers.
* Fix possible infinite loop on parse on systems with newer flex
* Fix setting of elements in transposed matrices (vectors)
* Fix doc string to ErrorFunction (Thanks to Ask Hjorth Larsen)
* Fix bad behavour upon double hitting "Run"
* Fix vte deprecations, require 0.26 now
* Fix some strings and fixes to documentation (thanks to Anders Johnsson)
* Fix segfault when trying to swap a protected id with swapwith
* Fix StripZeroColumns behavior on a zero matrix
* Fix Subfactorial (Anders Johnsson), and let Subfactorial, Factorial,
DoubleFactorial apply over matrix.
* Fix some inverse trig functions with complex arguments.
* Other minor fixes including some crashes
* Translation updates (Miguel Rodríguez Núñez, Marek Černocký,
Anders Jonsson, Ask Hjorth Larsen, Alan Mortensen, Balázs Úr,
Mario Blättermann, Christian Kirbach, Мирослав Николић, Daniel Șerbănescu,
Rafael Fontenelle, Piotr Drąg, Tiago Santos, Enrico Nicoletto,

* Translation updates (Мирослав Николић, Rafael Fontenelle,
Wolfgang Stöggl, Samir Ribic, Piotr Drąg, Miguel Rodríguez Núñez,
Marek Černocký, Dimitris Spingos, Pedro Albuquerque, et moi)
* During making of these changes the author (Jiri) was partially supported by
NSF grant DMS 1362337 and the Oklahoma State University
Changes to 1.0.20
* Add more sizes of icons including SVG, and add Keywords to the .desktop file
* Documentation updates
* Fix PeriodicExtension function
* ErrorFunction (erf) is using MPFR for real values so it is far more precise
and faster
* The Fourier series example is no longer using a hand coded graph and hand
computed series, so it can now be easily modified to show series for
different functions
* Fix GCC 5 compilation
* A couple of minor fixes in the plotting code including one possible crasher
* Translation updates (Wolfgang Stöggl, Marek Černocký, Maria Mavridou,
Мирослав Николић, Miguel Rodríguez Núñez, Daniel Mustieles, Piotr Drag,
Rafael Ferreira)
* During making of these changes the author (Jiri) was partially supported by
NSF grant DMS 1362337 and the Oklahoma State University
Changes to 1.0.19
* New menu: Examples. These are annotated programs that show some
mathematical concept. Generally taken from the classes I have been teaching.
They are installed under prefix/share/genius/examples/ and are mostly using
graphics so only work in the graphical GNOME/GTK version
* New plotting functions: SurfacePlotDrawLine, SurfacePlotDrawPoints,
SurfacePlotClear, PlotWindowPresent
* New rotation animation in the surface plot window
* Fix string constants from compiled library starting with 'E' (funky bug)
* A few fixes
* Translation updates (Miguel Rodríguez Núñez, Daniel Mustieles,
Wolfgang Stöggl, Marek Černocký)
* During making of these changes the author (Jiri) was partially supported by
NSF grant DMS 1362337 and the Oklahoma State University
Changes to 1.0.18
* New general functions: KroneckerProduct (alias TensorProduct), NewtonsMethod,
HalleysMethod, LambertW, LambertWm1, NonzeroColumns, NonzeroElements,
DisplayVariables, PrintTable, SetElement, SetVElement
* New plotting functions: PlotCanvasFreeze/PlotCanvasThaw to improve flicker
if doing animations with genius, and LinePlotDrawPoints function to draw just
points without the line
* While plotting, errors are no longer forced into a dialog, and presence
of errors is indicated in the graph window below the graph
* Allow setting color in LinePlotDrawLine with RGB vector.
* When the vector building notation is done with floats and the final
number is within 2^-20 times the step size of the goal,
assume there were roundoff errors and still add it, just like for loops,
so something like 1.0:0.1:3.0 now works
* Implement subsecond precision in wait function.
* Fix memory corruption error triggered in nested floating point
for loops with a floating point step
* Few minor bug fixes and fix some more compile warnings in gtkextra
* Streamline the compiled file format (saves about 30kb)
* A few improvements to the documentation (yelp sucks donkeyballs!
Just had to say that).
* Translation updates (Rafael Ferreira, Marek Černocký, Daniel Mustieles,
Wolfgang Stöggl, Miguel Rodriguez Nuñez, Piotr Drąg, Wylmer Wang,
Dimitris Spingos, Enrico Nicoletto, Matej Urbančič)
* During making of these changes the author (Jiri) was partially supported by
NSF grant DMS 1362337 and the Oklahoma State University
Changes to 1.0.17
* Better precision for graphs especially when zoomed it a lot, and make font
smaller if needed
* Line plots and parametric plots now allow "fit dependent axis" automatically
when y limits are unspecified. And this is the default in the UI
* Add export of graphs to PDF directly

even though this bitmap preview is fairly crappy
* Add PNG export for plots
* Remove some parenthesis from output where they are not needed
* SYNTAX: InfiniteSum, InfiniteSum2, InfiniteProduct, InfiniteProduct2,
now no longer take the tolerance argument and behaviour is controlled
by the SumProductTolerance, SumProductSFS and SumProductNumberOfTries like
other limits and they return null when limit can't seem to be found
* Add: NumericalLeftDerivative, NumericalRightDerivative
* Fix the NumericalLimitAtInfinity function and its use and with that fix
NDerivative (which is now an alias for NumericalDerivative), IsContinuous,
IsDifferentiable, Limit, LeftLimit, RightLimit

for rand()
* Translation updates (Estevao Samuel Procopio, Vincent van Adrighem,
Adam Weinberger, Miloslav Trmac, Laurent Dhima, David Lodge,

functions to a few select 1 argument functions such as exp or ln, for
example: exp(sin) returns a function which does exp(sin(x)) and
sin^2 returns a function that does sin(x)^2
* SYNTAX: New operator := which acts just like = but is never translated
to ==
* SYNTAX: e^x now translated to exp(x) for better precision (and should be
teeny bit faster too)
* Optimize/cleanup the mp wrapper code which on my tests can gain something
like 40% improvement on code that does lots of handling of smaller integers.
* Add PoissonKernel, DirichletKernel, FejerKernel, MoebiusDiskMapping,
MoebiusMapping, MoebiusMappingInftyToOne, MoebiusMappingInftyToZero
and MoebiusMappingInftyToInfty

Changes to 0.5.5
Note the syntax changes marked with 'SYNTAX:'
* Fix quite a few DOH! errors in the GUI it should now be usable to
actually edit and save file and all that
* Also print the number line in the status box, this makes it much easier
to find parse errors.
* Add SqrtModPrime, IsPrimitiveModWithPrimeFactors,
SilverPohligHellmanWithFactorization
* SYNTAX: use SqrtModPrime when sqrt is called in mod context (only if the
modulo is a prime, otherwise we print an error)
* Other minor fixes.
* Some new translations apparently too (Swedish by Christian Rose)
Changes to 0.5.4
Note the syntax changes marked with 'SYNTAX:'
* The GUI now allows editing program files and running them directly from
the gui.
* SYNTAX: If "log" is used in mod environment it acts as DiscreteLog
* IsEven and IsOdd are now internal and fast
* Use MPFR (if available) for log10 and log2, and add lg as an alias to
log2
* SYNTAX: Use GMP for the MillerRabinTest and implement StrongPseudoprimeTest,
IsPrime, and MillerRabinTestSure internally, remove IsPrimeLoopMax and
PrimeProbabilityEpsilon, MillerRabinTest takes the number of reps to do
and not the epsilon and there is IsPrimeMillerRabinReps parameter, also
remove IsPrimeProbability
* SYNTAX: Snarf the Pollard-Rho implementation from GMP examples and use it
for Factorize. Whack FactorizeLoopMax
* Use MPFR for EulerConstant if available
* Added MillerRabinTestSure, StringToASCII, ASCIIToString, AlphabetToString,
StringToAlphabet, LeastAbsoluteResidue, AreRelativelyPrime, DiscreteLog,
CRT (ChineseRemainder), IsPrimitiveMod, ConvertToBase, ConvertFromBase,
GetCurrentModulo, MidpointRule, NumericalIntegral, SolveLinearSystem,
MakeSet, Union, Intersection, IndexCalculus, IndexCalculusPrecalculation,
FindPrimitiveElementMod, FindRandomPrimitiveElementMod and Compose
* Fixed IsStrongPseudoprime
* Fixed the integer power functions and use MPFR for the float one if
available.
* Document some functions
* elements, rows, columns accept null and treat it like 0x0 matrix
* SYNTAX: Allow return after comma to break a long vector input
* Mod matrices after all primitives (fixes for example "-[1] mod 2")
* when function is undocumented, print at least a prototype on help
* SYNTAX: 'mod' and 'call' now binds tighter then logical operators to
make "if a == b mod n and a == c mod n then ..."
* SYNTAX: I, zeros, ones, rand, randint don't mod their arguments when in
mod mode
* SYNTAX: null is accepted for the "for in" type loops to mean empty
* Add "Set Theory" category to help
* Fix some crashes and plug many leaks
Changes to 0.5.3
Note the syntax changes marked with 'SYNTAX:'
* Very basic line graphing of R->R functions with LinePlot function
* Use MPFR for some floating point functions such as powers, logs, sin/cos
and such. This increases the speed of those operations by about 10 fold
or more. I will start migrating towards MPFR only support in the future.
See www.mpfr.org.
* "a^b mod m" is now done sanely and fast just like the PowerMod function
* Rudimentary MathML output support
* Add Copy Answer As Plain/LaTeX/MathML/Troff menu items
* SYNTAX: A null inside a matrix expansion is treated as an empty matrix. So
[null,1,2] will be expanded as [1,2]
* SYNTAX: Allow rationals and integers as complex numbers though this support is
kind of experimental
* Increase some limits on factorizations
* SYNTAX: Add (<expr>)i operator macro which will multiply <expr> by i
* SYNTAX: Negation parsing changed -1^k still parses as (-1)^k but -a^k parses
as -(a^k) (where a is anything but a number
* Rational powers now return integers if possible, and so the
SymbolicSquareRoot and SymbolicNthRoot functions are not necessary
* Nicer printing of complex numbers
* Printing fixes
* Fractions printed nicely in troff and latex mode
* Fix crash on setting built in parameters if there is an exception
* Add MaximalPrimePowerFactors, PrimeFactors and CombineFactorizations,
RemoveFactor, Gravity (the gravitational constant), EulerConstant,
FermatFactorization, IsGaussInteger, IsPositiveInteger, MillerRabinTest
* Use MillerRabinTest in IsPrime adding a config parameter for this
* Remove SymbolicSquareRoot, SymbolicNthRoot (sqrt and rational powers
is the same thing)
* Add some new aliases for a few functions
* Better EulerPhi implementation
* Fix Factors
* SYNTAX: Fix precedence of : to be lower then that of standard arithmetic
operators
* SYNTAX: Factorial now binds more closely then power
* SYNTAX: Allow more matlab like notation of getting whole rows/columns
(such as foo@(2,:))
* Add an Edit menu with Copy and Paste
* Add "Really want to quit" dialog and allow quitting while calculations are
running
* Allow reading arbitrarily long compiled file record lines
* Some very minor leaks fixed
* Fix interrupting input while not calculating anything (this was a nasty
bug that prevented any further thing to be evaluated)
* Don't allow executing anything if something else is executing, thus causing
a crash.
* A number of minor bugs squashed
* And finally a new small easter egg
Changes to 0.5.2
* UP TO DATE ONLINE MANUAL: well, don't be too excited, it's just a text
file, but can now be viewed directly from genius.
* Use vte instead of zvt since zvt was giving me fits (vte is on the other
hand giving me different fits).
* Fix precedence of defining a function (now "function f(x) = foo mod bar"
will work as expected)
* Using rationals in modular mode will take the inverses mod n
* Negative powers and division of matrices in modular mode
* Implement IsPrimeProbability, LucasNumber, ModInvert, EulerPhi,
Subfactorial, GoldenRatio
* Use gmp for NextPrime
* Kill some unimplemented functions so that people don't get confused
* Some function renaming (where old syntax was used) and some more help
strings
* The help output is now nicer
* In latex output mode we print [] instead of () for matrices since
I think it's nicer
* The readline helper is now in the libexec directory as it should be
* Fixup the plugin API a bit and hide the test plugin from the GUI
* The .desktop is now updated, using intltool and installed in proper new
location and all that good stuff
* Fixed the gettext/intltool stuff, now actually installs translations
correctly and all that
* Random minor fixes and cleanup
Changes to 0.5.1
* Fix rounding when first digit is rounded and is 9 (reported by
Kai Arstila)
* Fix atan by using implementation from Guillermo Ballester Valor
(reported by Kai Arstila)
* Few more functions: Stupid eigenvalue function for 2x2 matrices,
RaleighQuotient
* Reverse the direction of the vandermonde matrix to coincide with how
we use polynomials
* Fix modular arithmetic on single values and matrices
* Cache identity matrices for speed
Changes to 0.5.0
* Stack based execution engine, allows much deeper recursion
