   Maxima 5.31 change log


   Changes in core:

 * Galois fields: revision, introduction of extension fields
 * inverse_jacobi_sn: improve accuracy
 * Bessel functions: integral of bessel_i, bessel_j of arbitrary order
 * matrix functions: revise ModeMatrix, mat_function, dispJordan, diag, JF
 * signum: do not declare signum real- or integer-valued
 * carg: declare carg real-valued
 * parser: add L, l, W, and w to list of exponent marker characters


   Changes in share:

 * package stringproc: new functions readchar, md5sum, base64


   Other changes:

 * documentation: minor changes to make Texinfo 5 happy
 * build system: changes to make Maxima build correctly on Windows

 * 2570 Make acos(cos(x)) simplify to x when on correct interval
 * 2569 translate rat(1,x) and rat([1]) incorrect
 * 2536 Lisp error in limit: \
 * 2501 %pi/8 is definitely not an integer
