ChangeLog-5.19

   Maxima 5.19 change log
   Compiled 2009-08-09


   Backwards-incompatible changes:

 * eigenvector: greater detail in return value

 * package fft:
    renamed ift to inverse_fft
    fft and inverse_fft do not modify their arguments
    fft and inverse_fft take 1 argument (complex), not 2


   New items in core:

 * new functions inverse_erf, inverse_erfc


   New items in share:

 * package hyperint: integration of some algebraic functions

 * package hypergeometric: hypergeometric functions

 * package linearalgebra: new function determinate_by_lu

 * package abs_integrate: new functions floor_int, if_int

 * package simplify_sum: extended Gosper algorithm


   Other revisions:

 * exp: rework implementation

 * realpart, imagpart, cabs, carg: rework implementation

 * revise exponential integral functions

 * apropos: argument is a string, return Maxima user symbols only

 * regularize implmentation of constant declaration

 * pass options from Maxima command line to Lisp

 * regularize use of some special variables

 * package dynamics: revisions

 * package fft: accept list as argument, other revisions

 * package ezunits: revise code, revise and expand documentation

 * package stats: test for the difference of two proportions

 * package sarag: algorithm for the multivariate certificate
 
 * package descriptive: more options for barsplot

 * package draw: new object "mesh", new options
