Changes to 1.0.22

* 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 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,
  Daniel Mustieles, Julien Hardelin, 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 1.0.21

* Add vibrating drumhead modes example, heat equation with explicit FDM,
  improve the Laplace FDM example
* Fix output of chopped floating point numbers, especially chopped
  imaginary parts
* Fix output of results as floats in pretty print
* Fix SurfacePlotVariableNames to redraw when changing variable names
* 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
* Line plot step size is adaptive, also line plots now detect jumps and do not
  draw a connecting line, try plotting UnitStep for example
* Use arrow keys to move around a line plot
* left-right arrow keys rotate surface plot
* All plots are now antialiased on the screen (due to GtkExtra update and
  cairo usage).
* Update internal GtkExtra to 3.0.5, and forward port all our changes/fixes
  (this gets us closer to supporting GTK+3 at some point)
* Completion for "help on function" in the GUI
* Fix FindRootBisection and FindRootMullersMethod
* Factors is now a lot faster on very large numbers (as fast as Factorize)
* Fix placement of labels on surface plots
* A few small fixes and updates to the documentation
* A few minor bugfixes
* Update mersenne primes (new one is known)
* Translation updates (Daniel Mustieles, Marek Černocký, Dimitris Spingos,
  Jiro Matsuzawa, Kjartan Maraas, Martin Srebotnjak, Matej Urbančič,
  Gil Forcada, Alexandre Franke, Joe Hansen, Miguel Rodríguez)

* During making of these changes the author (Jiri) was partially supported by
  NSF grant DMS 0900885 and the University of Wisconsin-Madison

Changes to 1.0.16

* Add SurfacePlotData and SurfacePlotDataGrid functions to draw arbitrary
  surface data, to allow more complicated 3d plots and 3d plots from data.
* Add LinePlotDrawAxisLabels and SurfacePlotDrawLegends parameters and
  add corresponding UI checkboxes 
* Add ExportPlot function to export the current contents of the plot window
  to a file from GEL

  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

  separator nodes which can now take a lot of arguments and really whack
  the result of all but the last expressions at once.

  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

  Jordi Mallach, Xavier Conde Rueda)

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

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

* accept more different formats of floats in scientific notation
* fix problems with hangs on help and large dialogs

Changes to 0.4.5

* option for maximum line output length for expression output, and for
  maximum number of errors printed
* backdivision for matrices (e.g. X=A\B means A*X=B)
* bug and portability fixes

Changes to 0.4.4

* bugfixes, bugfixes, bugfixes
* very very very initial shlib plugin support

Changes to 0.4.3

* deprecated the bc way of adding functions
* better interactive parsing
* i18n actually works

Changes to 0.4.[12]

* new gnome frontend

Changes to 0.4 (includes all changes from all >0.3.1)

* new syntax for writing functions, more math like
* functions are now passed by value not by reference, this is unfortunately
  backwards incompatible but adds consistency and flexibility, so just instead
  of sum(4,5,&func) you'd write sum(4,5,func), with anonymous functions,
  the calling syntax does not change. inside the function then, one would use
  func(...) instead of *func(...)
* library file is compiled now for quick startup
* many new functions
* more matrix support
* complete complex number support with new operators

Changes to 0.3 (includes all changes from all >0.2.1)

* matrix support
* a couple of new operators (absolute value, get element/row/column, transpose)
* whole bunch of new functions

* no more postfix, no more prefix, everything is infix
* conditionals are better
* variable/function references
* anonymous functions
