Release date: January 2014.

  • new application ideal
  • quadratic field extensions and exact representations of Platonic solids (and others)
  • new rule to test regularity of a complete fan
  • visualization: saving the view point
  • visualization: Scale option for Sketch output
  • new formatting_filter for numbered/labeled array types
  • fast loading of gzipped XML files
  • further modularization via bundled extensions
  • enhanced extension management: dependencies, credits, reconfiguration
  • experimental version of PolyViewer (?)
  • discontinued support for legacy versions of gcc and perl (gcc 4.2/perl 5.10 or higher needed)
  • create_24_cell replaced by regular_24_cell from general Wythoff construction (now comes with the group)
  • eliminate_denominators (for type Matrix) renamed to eliminate_denominators_in_rows; reason: avoid confusion with new function eliminate_denominators_entire with same signature; eliminate_denominators for type Vector unchanged
  • visualization: Sketch-Interface can now handle VertexLabels and is able to color every Facet/Vertex individually
  • visualization: Sketch-Output has a different papersize, so you don't need to scroll down anymore.
