Changes for version 2.67

  • May 3 2013
    • Some documentation tweaks on the use of ascending_order().
    • Code seems stable after use; time to upload to CPAN.
  • Apr 19 2013
    • Add --ascending flag to the perl scripts in the eg/ directory.
    • Added files hqr.pl, laguerre.pl, and nr.pl to the eg/ directory, and added them to the MANIFEST. Again, new scripts for trying individual functions.
  • Apr 17 2013
    • Fix $ascending_flag checks in sturm functions with early returns, or the sturm functions that use the first entry in the chain for the (unreversed) polynomial.
    • Removed zyxw.t, as the existing test files now check ascending_order() themselves.
  • Apr 15 2013
    • Test files sturm1.t, sturm2.t, and sturm3.t also use Test::More and test with the ascending_order().
    • Add ascending_order() tests to pderival.t.
    • Add ascending_order() tests to peval.t.
  • Apr 12 2013
    • Get sturm0.t testing with ascending_order(), and Test::More.
  • Apr 11 2013
    • Testing via division.t tests correctly again, with or without the ascending_order() set.
    • Start in on the :sturm functions to recognize $ascending_flag.
  • Apr 4 2013
    • Completed (maybe) adding $ascending_flag to the :utility functions.
  • Apr 1 2013
    • Start in on using $ascending_flags for the :utility functions.
    • Note ascending_order()'s use at length in the README file.
  • Mar 28 2013
    • Fixed use of $ascending_flag in the :classical and :numeric functions. Left to do are :sturm and :utility functions.
    • Updated test files for quadratic, cubic, quartic, and the generic poly_roots() functions. They now use Test::More and a new allzeroes() function for testing.
    • New test file zyxw.t for the ascending_order() checks.
  • Mar 25 2013
    • Added the ascending_order() function, the $asending_flag variable, and the documentation for the function. Actual code comes later.
