ANN: mpmath 0.14 released

[Fredrik Johansson]

Hi all,

Version 0.14 of mpmath is now available on the website: http://code.google.com/p/mpmath/

It can also be downloaded from the Python Package Index: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/mpmath/0.14

Mpmath is a pure-Python library for arbitrary-precision floating-point arithmetic that implements an extensive set of mathematical functions. It can be used as a standalone library or via SymPy (http://code.google.com/p/sympy/), and is also available as a standard component of Sage (http://sagemath.org/).

For a list of new features, see the blog post and changelog:
http://fredrik-j.blogspot.com/2010/02/mpmath-014-released.html
http://mpmath.googlecode.com/svn/tags/0.14/CHANGES

For a brief summary, the new features in 0.14 include support for using a Cython-based backend soon to be added to Sage (giving a large speedup of mpmath in Sage); support for 3D plotting; fast low-precision functions (using Python's builtin float/complex types); an implementation of the Riemann-Siegel expansion for the Riemann zeta function; many improvements to evaluation of hypergeometric functions; miscellaneous new special functions; matrix functions; and several bugfixes and optimizations.

Extensive documentation is available at:
http://mpmath.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/doc/build/index.html (or equivalently)
http://mpmath.googlecode.com/svn/tags/0.14/doc/build/index.html

Bug reports and other comments are welcome on the issue tracker at http://code.google.com/p/mpmath/issues/list or the mpmath mailing list: http://groups.google.com/group/mpmath

Enjoy, and extra thanks to Juan Arias de Reyna, Vinzent Steinberg, Jorn Baayen and Chris Smith who contributed to this version.
