Axiom now supports latex chunk syntax in pamphlets, thus
Axiom pamphlets can now be pure latex.
Axiom can now read pamphlet files and extract latex chunks directly.
All input files were converted to the new format.
This change has several long term implications. Once all of the
pamphlet files are pure latex we no longer need the NOWEAVE function.
Once Axiom can read all of its input formats, that is, )read and )compile
work directly on their pamphlet forms we will no longer need NOTANGLE.
At that point, we no longer need noweb.
This release sees the introduction of new domains and packages
as well as more documentation. The original Jenks books has been
modified to include new documentation, more help files were added,
and the )d op function documentation was expanded.
More effort has been applied to collecting interpreter and compiler
code into literate form in book volume 5.
A new effort to collect the compiler code into book volume 9 started.
The compiler was modified (by Waldek) to allow +-> in place of #1 syntax.
This conversion is nearly complete, with only a few packages remaining
to be converted. Lisp code to regression check the algebra changes was
written so the generated algebra is parsed and highlighted.
A method for running Axiom on Windows was developed and documented
on the home page of the website.
Unit testing of interpreter and compiler changes was added to the
regression testing. This will expand in future versions as changes
are made so ensure that things continue to function.
Volume 0: Axiom Jenks and Sutor
Richard Jenks bio was added
Section 9: Examples of Domains and Packages expanded
ApplicationProgramInterface (API)
Dequeue (DEQUEUE)

Volume 4: Axiom Developers Guide
A section was added explaining how to find anonymous function signatures
Volume 5: Axiom Interpreter

)set debug is now a new top level command to collect all of
the developer-level commands to enable/disable internal messages
and tracing functions.
\defunsec macro was added to handle section titles with docstrings
More interpreter code was moved from other files into this book
All regression test numbering was fixed to conform to the new,
stronger regression test. Thus --S requires the "of NN" phrase
or a FAILED message will be raised.
The compiler root was moved to volume 9: Axiom Compiler

Fixup verbatim breakage
Volume 7.1: Axiom Hyperdoc Pages
Update What's New for March 2009

The compiler code is being collected from other parts of the
system into this book. In particular,
The root functions for the compiler were added
The top level loop code of the compiler was added
The next layer of compiler code was added
Volume 10.2: Axiom Algebra Categories
There was a general change to allow +-> syntax in algebra and
this was made to all existing categories

There was a general change to allow +-> syntax in algebra and
this was made to all existing domains

and )d op function examples
Permutation now has regression test cases, a help page,
and )d op function examples
The regression tests now conform to the new, stronger
regression test requirements
Volume 10.4: Axiom Algebra Packages
There was a general change to allow +-> syntax in algebra and
this was made to some existing packages. There is more to be done.
Bezier package was added, including regression test cases, a help page,
and )d op function examples
CombiniatorialFunction now has regression test cases, a help page,
and )d op function examples
ElementaryFunction now has regression test cases, a help page,
