2.0.0

on GitHub

This release includes a major rewrite of the functionality in libsemigroups for matrices, transformations, and other elements of semigroups. libsemigroups has been updated to use C++14 (from C++11), and some simplifications were made as a consequence. The documentation has been improved, some deprecated functionality was remove, and other minor improvements, and simplifications were made. The included version of eigen was updated from version 3.3.7 to 3.3.9.

J. James contributed some improvements to the build system, and some additional updates were made which arose from warnings issued by newer versions of autotools.

The following function was added:

• Action::cache_scc_multipliers

The following deprecated functionality was removed:

• FroidurePin::FroidurePin(std::vector<element_type> const*)
• FroidurePin::reset_next_relation
• FroidurePin::next_relation
• the Element class was removed
• the UFOld class was removed (replaced by Suf and Duf in v1.3.4)

The following backwards incompatible changes have been made:

• every function including _nr_ has been renamed using _number_of_ for consistency
• const has been removed from all function parameters passed by value
• congruence_type was renamed congruence_kind for consistency
• CongruenceByPairsHelper was renamed CongruenceByPairs
• Congruence::policy was renamed Congruence::options
• FroidurePin::copy_closure returns by value instead of returning a pointer
• FroidurePin::copy_add_generators returns by value instead of returning a pointer
• FroidurePin::letter_to_pos was renamed
  FroidurePin::current_position
• FroidurePin::length_const was renamed FroidurePin::length
• FroidurePin::length_non_const was renamed
  FroidurePin::current_length (again for consistency)
• FroidurePin::word_to_pos was renamed
  FroidurePin::current_position
• KnuthBendix::policy was renamed KnuthBendix::options
• ToddCoxeter::policy was renamed ToddCoxeter::options
