[ePiX-users] New release candidate (1.1)

[Andrew D. Hwang]

A Version 1.1 pre-release (just in time to match the date) is available:

  http://math.holycross.edu/~ahwang/epix/epix-1.1rc1.tar.bz2
  http://math.holycross.edu/~ahwang/epix/epix-1.1rc1.tar.gz

(The "withpdf" and "manuals" packages are also available.) They're not 
"official" yet, hence not linked from the project page. Barring problems, 
though, they'll become the 1.1 release. Here are the user-visible portions 
of the ChangeLog:

* (domain.*)
  - "dim" function, returns dimension of domain (0--3)
  - "slices" take optional argument (number of slices)
  - domain_list class (wrapper around std::list<domain>)
  - mesh(n) defaults to mesh(n, n, n); formerly mesh(n, 1, 1)

* (functions.*) Add sech, csch, coth, and inverses

* (plots.*)
  - New functions:
      plot(P f(double, double), const domain_list&);
      plot(P f(double, double, double), const domain&);
      plot(P f(double, double, double), const domain_list&);
  - Remove ambigous overloads:
      plot(double f(double, double), const domain&);
      plot(P f(double, double), const P&, const P&, const mesh&, const mesh&);

* (surface.*)
  - New functions:
      surface(f(double, double), domain_list)
      surface(f(double, double, double), domain)
      surface(f(double, double, double), domain_list)
      surface_rev(f(double), t_min, t_max, n_lats, n_longs)
  - New class "scenery", for unions of surfaces

* (New files samples/extras/decorate,minkowski,spherical.xp)

Happy new year!
