The final alpha release.

Besides more bug fixes, this version contains the following new features:

Finally polymake can deal with finite simplicial complexes again. To this end there is a new object type SimplicialComplex.

• New visualisation method for polytopal subdivisions.
• Project-and-lift approach to enumerate lattice points
• improved methods for conversion to ambient/vertex lattice

Constructions like deletion, contraction or dual can now be computed.

New classes Polynomial and Ring allow basic computations with polynomials. See our brief tutorial.

The automatic extraction of the documentation from the code is now working again and significantly improved.

• new installation level command 'make docs' to build local copy of documentation including local extensions
• vastly improved TAB completion
• new feature: F1 key for context sensitive help

Additionally the documentation of all applications released is available online.
