A facility for scheduling tasks to be performed in parallel (in threads) has been developed ...
new packages:
BIBasis, a package for constructing reduced Pommaret and Gröbner bases in a Boolean ring, has been added.
KustinMiller, a package for unprojection and the Kustin-Miller complex construction, has been added.
functionality added or improved:
The function temporaryFileName now produces file names with no chance of collision, and deletes the files upon normal termination of the program.
The function newPackage now has two new options, PackageExports and PackageImports, which provide a more robust way to specify that other packages should be loaded when this new package is loaded.
functionality changed:
Now F = GF p will return a ring of type GaloisField when p is prime, instead of returning the quotient ring ZZ/p. In particular, the generator F_0 will be a generator of the multiplicative group.
