New release

[Waldek Hebisch]

I plan a new release in about two weeks. There is still time
to include new things, but not much.

Things that are already included:
- new constructors: BrowserInformation, TexParser,
ModularU32MatrixOperations, AIntervalCategory, AInterval,
PadeContinuousFraction
- factord out common part of matrix categories
- changes to conditions and exports
- new implementation of IndexCard
- better support for pure Lisp build

Bug fixes:
- wrong initialization of number of rows and columns for
two dimensional arrays
- corrected result of integrals in terms od elliptic functions
- stirling numbers at 0
- map between matrices with differing minimal indices
- avoid strange types in interpreter
- more consistent handiling of pathnames

Hello Waldek,

Maybe adding something like "Internal improvements"? Or something like that?

And why not give a small description (as a list for example) for

BrowserInformation, TexParser, ModularU32MatrixOperations,
AIntervalCategory, AInterval, PadeContinuousFraction

?

That may be seen as "commercial" but _small_ information is always a
good idea from my point of view. As an example, IndexCard, was totally
unknown to me, I thought it was just another indexed aggregate.

My two cents.

I support that. New domains/packages/categories should be mentioned in
the release notes.

We can have more notebooks like the ones here...

https://fricas.github.io/fricas-notebooks/

You are totally right that there should be many more examples.
Anyone who likes to be a contributor to this fricas-notebook repository,
is welcome.

I still would like to add a few fixes to the fmt*.spad file.

Furthermore some small changes to some .rst files.

Let me ask here for contribution to the
https://fricas.github.io/citation.html
page. I have two more papers that mention FriCAS. So if someone finds
more articles that mention FriCAS, please tell me.
Maybe there are also some Sage articles that use the FriCAS integration
machinery behind the scenes.

I decided to mention constructors above in the release notes. However,
neither of them looks like something which could be deciding factor
for new users. And existing FriCAS users can find description via
HyperDoc or API pages.

I want to keep notes short because in modern times people are distracted
by many things. So notes should be short enough that people are
likely to read them all before jumping to something else. Longer
notes are justified when we have something more remarkable, which
will attract attention.
