Maple V

[Gaston Gonnet]

We are proud to announce the availability of a new version of Maple, version V.
(for those of you waiting for version 4.4, we have renamed it version V)
Maple V represents a major step forward in the capabilities of Maple.
We'd like to thank everyone, especially people from outside the group,
who have contributed.

Maple V incorporates a new user interface for the X Window System that includes
3-D plotting, command line editing, and maintains a log of a Maple session.
We are also nearing the completion of a SunView interface for Maple V.

As with previous new versions of Maple, Maple V also includes many new
mathematical facilities.
There are 11 new applications packages including 4 tensor packages.
Maple V includes many efficiency and algorithmic improvements,
and other improvements to the capabilities of the existing facilities.

A list of the new facilities and improvements, together with examples
in Maple V, will be given in a separate message on sci.math.symbolic.

The generic version of Maple V and the X version are being presently
distributed for the following systems:

Sun-3
Sun-4
SparcStation
MIPS RS2030, RC3240, RC3260, RC6280, M/2000

SunView users who order now will receive the SunView interface as soon
as it becomes available.
Maple V versions for the following systems (generic and X interface)
are near completion:

DEC Vax (Ultrix or BSD)
DEC Microvax (Ultrix)
DEC station 2100, 3100, 5000, 5400, 5800 (Ultrix)
