Changes in this version

• Error handling is now possible with try ... catch ... endtry possible

• Tables can now have different data types per column, between which they can also be converted. Currently available are numeric values, strings and time-date values.

• NumeRe can now handle complex numbers. In addition there are some functions especially for complex numbers as well as special plotting options

• Tables can now be described with additional documentation that makes it easier to associate measurement data with its data source. This documentation is also displayed in the tooltips in the file tree

• Tables can now be copied more easily using COPY() = TAB()

• The command fft2d provides a 2D FFT

• The command clc deletes the contents of the console

• New functions for matrix mode: polylength(), assemble(), movavg(), movsum(), ...

• Commands for declaring local variables (str, var, ...) can now be used several times per procedure

• time values now have microsecond precision and can cover a larger date range

• diff and taylor now use Savitzky-Golay as differentiation method

• resample can now use different samples for rows and columns as well as other methods

• The variable viewer offers more features like copying values or displaying the needed memory

• Tooltips have been improved and now show the default values of optional function arguments. Tooltips have also been added to the console. In addition, the console offers improved completion when navigating through recent commands

• The current file in the editor can now be cloned to a second view to work in two different places of the file at the same time

• The debugger is now slightly clearer when it requires attention. If desired, the NumeRe icon can also be enabled to blink in the taskbar

• Files can now be automatically saved before execution

• Brace completion can now be configured or disabled altogether

• Procedures flagged with test now create a local cluster TESTINFO{} containing the statistics of the executed tests

• The static code analyzer can now handle more cases

• The matrix mode and the statistic methods of tables now use OpenMP where reasonable and possible

• Note: as of version 1.1.5, tables that are not passed to a procedure marked as reference are actually copied. NumeRe will issue a warning because of this. After reviewing all warnings, the behavior of 1.1.5 can already be enabled in 1.1.4rc with set enablefuture=true

• Many improvements and fixes

The main changes can be found in the ChangesLog.

An overview can be found below, the details as always in the attached ChangesLog.

• Animations of data sets and tables are now possible

• The detect command can be used to find structures in 2D data

• The pso command provides a particle swarm optimizer for functions with up to four dimensions

• There are commands to rotate images (imrot), datasets (tabrot) and data grids (gridrot)

• GUI system: NumeRe now provides the ability to create and interact with custom graphical interfaces. Window layouts are stored in NumeRe layout files (*.nlyt), which can also be embedded in packages

• Base conversion functions: dectobase() and basetodec()

• Perlin noise: perlin()

• Regular expressions: regex()

• Remove prefixes and suffixes: strip()

• Packages can now be licensed

• Vector expansion has been improved and now allows these constructs: {a,b,c:d,e,...}

• Procedure test system: the assert command can be used to test an assumption and throws an error if the assumption is not met. The procedure flag test, on the other hand, converts all non-critical errors to warnings so that the procedure does not terminate immediately

• Procedure arguments are now real variables (copies of the passed values). References to the passed variables are possible by declaring the argument as a reference with an ampersand (&): $PROC(copiedVal, referencedVar&)

• The ESC key cancels the evaluation only if the console has the focus at the same time

• Many fixes and improvements

Release Candidate 1

An overview can be found below, the details as always in the attached ChangesLog.

• switch as new control flow environment

• Clusters have been integrated as new data types. These can contain numeric values and mixed strings.

• Many new string functions that can recognize the type of the contained characters

• Editor improvements: bookmark saving, multiple selection insertion, autocompletion of LaTeX commands, global variable warnings

• The console can now handle HOME, END and CTRL-LEFT, CTRL-RIGHT

• Animations now contain an additional rendering step where the animation is cached and then runs smoother and with lower computational requirements

• The debugger has been massively improved and now offers many standard functions like skip block, execute next statement, jump out of the current procedure, etc.

• The inline flag of procedures has been improved and now allows actual inlining, which can mean runtime improvements of a factor of 20

• NumeRe now provides built-in version control of files in the default paths when editing them with the editor

• The dialog command can now be used to create graphical dialogs for user interaction

• The refactoring functions have been improved and can now be restricted in the search area. In addition, each renaming of a symbol is logged

• NumeRe can calculate a dependency tree for a procedure (Tools menu)

• NumeRe now provides a package creator that can automatically generate an install script from a selected set of procedures (Tools menu)

• The documentation window has been reworked and now contains a directory on the left side and a toolbar with the history functions and the possibility to print an article

• Many fixes and improvements

Release Candidate 2

Release Candidate 2 of version 1.1.2 brings the following improvements:

• String expressions can now be used as index expressions for data objects

• The names of local variables can be highlighted during declaration. This has advantages especially for long variable declarations

• The version control system has been improved and now includes a diff viewer for comparing the differences between two versions

• The Package Creator can now be opened even if no procedure is selected

• The variable "ans" is now a cluster and can therefore store arbitrary and mixed values

• The function "polynomial(x,a0,a1,a2,...)" was added and replaces the previous definitions of "taylor" and "spline"

• Many other minor improvements and fixes

Release Candidate 3

Release Candidate 3 of version 1.1.2 brings these changes:

• Plots can now use time values (UNIX time) as axes

• MathGL 2.4.4 has been integrated and improves plotting quality and speed

• DoxyGen-like documentation blocks can be generated from NumeRe to procedures

• "implot" generates an image plot from image data

• "cmp()" can now also find the first value that is smaller/larger/equal to the comparison value

• "shuffle(sel,val)" is a new matrix function that returns a vector of shuffled values

• "getkeyval()" is a string function that can decode a key value list: "{KEY1,VAL1,KEY2,VAL2,...}"

• OpenMP support has been enabled and is used when evaluating strings

• NumeRe was compiled with a new compiler and is now about twice as fast (in exceptions 3x higher speeds were measured)

• Many other minor improvements and fixes

Hotfix 1 to Release Candidate 3 fixes some minor bugs newly introduced in RC3. Support for the new plotting library is still experimental.
