Announce: FriCAS 1.3.5 has been released

[Waldek Hebisch]

This is copy of the annoucemnt I posted in newsgroups:

FriCAS is an advanced computer algebra system. Its capabilities
range from calculus (integration and differentiation) to abstract
algebra. It can plot functions and has integrated help system.

FriCAS 1.3.5 should build on Linux and many Unix like systems (for
example Mac OSX and Cygwin). FriCAS is build on top of Common Lisp;
several Lisps can compile and run FriCAS -- currently supported are
GCL, SBCL, Clisp, ECL, Closure CL (former OpenMCL).

Notable changes (compared to version 1.3.4):

- Added free noncommutative field.

- Added factorization in free algebra.

- Improved coercion to InputForm.

- Removed cycle related functions from Tree and BinaryTreeCategory.

Bug fixes, in particular:

- Improved portablity to Windows and Mac OSX.

- Fixed input form of formal derivatives.

- Fixed coercion of polynomials to patterns.

- Fixed comparison with signed floating point zero.

Hi Kurt,

That's great that you provide a docker image. I'll link that soon from
fricas.github.io.

It seems that FriCAS got some momentum. Not just one single developer
anymore.
