Good morning everybody! We loudly present a new release of the GiNaC framework for symbolic computation within your favorite programming language. Please hurry up and grab your copy from <http://www.ginac.de/Download.html>. Make sure you read the file NEWS to see that we did an awful job trying to break your existing code! Also included in make-target check are some tests invented by R. Lewis and M. Wester, carefully crafted by skilled coders to successfully overheat your CPU and bring down your machine within minutes! Interfacing GiNaC with Cint is also progressing nicely and if nobody angers the gods of computing the world will soon see a fully integrated symbolic C++ interpreter! \begin{SalespersonSpeak} INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY WITH A PROVEN TOOL GiNaC 0.6 provides the right set of tools so that you can be more productive, more effective, and solve more problems. Use GiNaC 0.6 in all phases of your technical projects. Instead of relying on several separate and expensive software packages, GiNaC 0.6 provides a single computing environment for defining and setting up models, analyzing the results both numerically and graphically, and creating technical reports for publication, or e-publication. TRUST THE INNOVATION LEADERS Countless users all over the world have chosen GiNaC's technology as their preferred platform for solving, analyzing, and designing models in their computational projects. Our customers include virtually all major universities and research institutions, and countless corporations. These customers understand that the complexities of modern analytical computation demand the highest levels of computational excellence. With GiNaC 0.6, we continue to earn the trust of customers by delivering new and robust technology. GiNaC 0.6 is the result of over a thousand person-days of advanced research and development. With ignorant quality assurance practices and casual use of customer feedback through nonexistent beta programs, you can have confidence that the results from GiNaC 0.6 will be reliable and accurate. \end{SalespersonSpeak} We hope to see you again soon when we release GiNaC 0.7 and rip our announcement from another major competitor in the field. :-) Happy hacking -richy. -- Richard Kreckel <Richard.Kreckel@Uni-Mainz.DE> <http://wwwthep.physik.uni-mainz.de/~kreckel/>
