News for version 4-0-1
Version 4-0-1 is a bug fix release.
New feature: attribute ring_cf for ring ( attrib)
News for version 4-0-0
Version 4-0-0 is a milestone release of Singular.
The new release series 4 aims for an entirely modularized architecture
simplifying connectivity with other systems and paving the way
for parallel computations.
As a first step in modularization, the new release features an internal
structural separation of coefficient rings and polynomial rings.
This allows for a flexible integration of new coefficient rings.
SINGULAR 4-0-0's list of new functionality and significant
improvements further extends that of the 3-1-6/7 prerelease series.
New functionality
- de Rham cohomology of complements of algebraic varieties ( deRham_lib)
- Gromov-Witten numbers of elliptic curves ( ellipticcovers_lib)
- classification of isolated complete intersection singularities in characteristic 0 ( classifyci_lib)
- parametrization of orbits of unipotent actions ( orbitparam_lib)
- F5-like Groebner basis algorithm ( sba)
- element-wise application of functions to data structures ( apply)
- support for debugging libraries ( ASSUME)
Improved functionality
Availability
SINGULAR is available as source code and for Linux, Mac OS X, Windows, FreeBSD and
SunOS-5.
