0.8.1 (2013-11-16)

no more support for "old" polymake features. This version is for next-generation polymake run in compatibility mode. More specifically:

  • use of clients is no longer supported
  • some keywords are no longer supported (e.g. HASSE_DIAGRAM)

0.7.9 (2013-10-27)

  • support for two "next-generation" keywords:

    • "FACES" calls "HASSE_DIAGRAM->FACES"
    • "DIMS" calls "HASSE_DIAGRAM->DIMS" these two keywords cannot be used with old versions of polymake.

  • test changed: tests of unsupported features in recent polymake versions removed (clients, some keywords), "FACES DIMS" tested.

0.7.8 (2010-06-03)

0.7.7:

  • package homepage changed

0.7.6 (2008-12-02)

  • bug fixed in SetPolymakeClientPaths
  • ClearPolymakeObject and CreatePolymakeObject can now be called with application and version information which will then be written to the new file.
  • Package moved from Galway to Kaiserslautern

0.7.5 (2008-08-13)

  • changes in README.polymaking (thanks to Andreas Distler)
  • changed subtitle to something more descriptive

0.7.4 (2008-07-16)

  • fixed the "warning on startup" bug
  • test file written

0.7.3 (2008-05-12)

  • fixed an embarrassing bug. Now HASSE_DIAGRAM really does what it should.

0.7.2: ATTENTION! change in output type:

  • Polymake(poly,"HASSE_DIAGRAM") now returns a record instead of a list. This change was necessary to make HASSE_DIAGRAM work with simplicial complexes.

New features:

  • polymaking is now supporting some clients via PolymakeClient
  • variable POLYMAKE_LAST_FAIL_REASON introduced. It should contain information abut the reason of the last returned .

Changes to existing methods:

  • Method Polymake rewritten
  • polymaking now returns an error if polymake returns one
  • Change in SplitPolymakeOutputStringIntoBlocks: keywords are now recognised by starting with an upper chase character and consisting of uppercase letters, numbers and "_" only.
  • PolymakeObjects now print their description instead of just if they know it.

Converter things:

  • ConvertPolymakeBoolToGAP now also accepts "true" and "false"
  • converter ConvertPolymakeDescriptionToGAP added.
  • converter ConvertPolymakeMatrixOrListOfSetsToGAP added (for things like FACETS that exist in the polytope and topaz world)
  • converter ConvertPolymakeIntVectorToGAPPlusOne added.
  • A few more entries added to ObjectConverters (now supporting 105 keywords)

Converter method assignment changed for: GRAPH, DUAL_GRAPH, FACETS,

0.7.1 (2008-03-07)

  • polymaking now suggests GAPdoc
  • changed the way POLYMAKE_COMMAND is determined (thanks to Andreas Distler) polymaking now tries to guess the location of polymake using the system path variable via DirectoriesSystemPrograms().
  • documentation now includes a couple of comments on the installation of polymake.

0.7.0:

  • Package is now called "polymaking" instead of "polymake" to avoid confusion.
  • Added a few converters (FAR_HYPERPLANE, N_01POINTS, REL_INT_POINT)

0.6.3:

  • changed PackageInfo.g to point to the new homepage
  • minor changes to the installation instructions in README.polymake and the manual.

0.6.2:

  • some changes in the manual.
  • AppendToPolymakeObject now has a 3-argument version to be called like AppendToPolymakeObject(poly,"KEYWORD","datastring");
  • the converter for HASSE_DIAGRAM now returns a list of sets of triples of sets rather than the strange record. To be precise, only the ".hasse" part of the old version is returned.
  • set global variables POLYMAKE_PROGRAM and POLYMAKE_DATA_DIR to "read only" status (thanks to Alexander Konovalov for this hint).

0.6.1:

  • more converters added to ObjectConverters.gi
  • PolymakeObject is not longer a sub category of Record.
  • added AppendInequalitiesToPolymakeObject for convenience

0.6:

  • Added a few object converters and removed a
  • Rewrote most of the documentation

0.5:

  • package does no longer depend on the IO package.

  • Conversion method for HASSE_DIAGRAM changed. Output has also changed and is not compatible with earlier versions.

  • Polymake can now be called with several keywords. In this case, fail is returned but the record is updated. If a part of the returned values are fail, these are not updated in the polygon record (but the others are!). Any line of polymake output starting with a capital letter will be treated as a line containing a single keyword.

  • Conversion method for FACE_LATTICE added.

  • The objects now have their own type "PolymakeObject". Lots of functions for manipulating them have been added.

0.3:

  • Changes in CreatePolygon: can now take an existing directory as an argument, Change in naming convention for generated file. Number is appended if a file with the same name exists (can happen, if CreatePolygon(dir) is called several times without other calculations between the calls)

0.2:

  • added conversion functions for polymake output.

0.1:

  • packages started with very limited functionality
