[Jscl-meditor-announce] jscl-meditor version 3.1 released

[Raphael J. <rap...@fr...>]

jscl-meditor is a java symbolic computing library with a text editor
frontend. Version 3.1 is out, in this release:

    * Packages for the following projects are added:

MathPiper - active fork of Yacas
Jasymca - Symbolic Calculator for Java
SymPy - Python library for symbolic mathematics

    * Most engines are enabled for java web start and available on-line
from the project web page

    * There is a new plotting facility which is used in Hartmath,
MathEclipse and Jasymca (more engines to come). It is based on SVG and
Batik and works as follows : as a "plot" expression is evaluated, it is
converted in SVG and pasted in the editor. The latter renders
automatically any expression enclosed in svg tags, as it already did for
MathML. Exports to PDF and XHTML are supported, in vector graphics

    * XML libraries are upgraded to their up-to-date versions, namely:

jeuclid-3.1.4
fop-0.95
batik-1.7

    * Version 1.0 of ScAS is made available

    * Some other engine upgrades are made:

sympy-0.6.4_beta2
hartmath-08pre2
matheclipse-0.0.7

    * Some transverse library interactions are considered : through its
Jython interface, the ScAS library can be used from the JAS engine. The
newly included JLinAlg library can be used from any engine with import
ability (i.e. Jython, BeanShell or Scala based ones, namely : JAS,
SymPy, JSCL, ScAS)

    * All engine packages are grouped together with the editor

    * The mathematical editor is turned into a general purpose script
editor : the chooser file filter is set to "accept all" (script
extensions, instead of just "txt") and the "math->evaluate" menu item is
changed into "script->run/evaluate". When no selection is made, the
whole script is run.

    * The document root of the treepad can be changed
