-slib3a3 news:
-
-Multi-dimensional linear interpolation and resampling of arrays are
-added.  Case-folding of symbols is removed from SLIB.  It should work
-with implementations which are case-sensitive when reading symbols.
-
-  * grapheps.scm (graph:plot): Plot multiple traces from array.
-  (functions->array): Generalizes graph:plot-function.
-
-  * root.scm (integer-sqrt): Changed to algorithm attributed to
-  Bradley Lucier by Steve VanDevender.
-  * slib.texi (Root Finding): integer-sqrt changed to floor of sqrt.
-
-  * linterp.scm (interpolate-array-ref, resample-array!): Added.
-
-  * bytenumb.scm (bytes->ieee-float, bytes->ieee-double)
-  (ieee-float->bytes, ieee-double->bytes): Fixed for -0.0.
-  * bytenumb.scm (ieee-float->bytes, ieee-double->bytes): Handle 0/0

-  fields.

-
-  * peanosfc.scm (peano-coordinates->natural)
-  (natural->peano-coordinates): Non-negative versions.
-  * phil-spc.scm (hilbert-coordinates->integer): nbits calculation
-  was missing (incorrectly used rank).
-  (bitwise-laminate, bitwise-delaminate): Removed unused functions.
-
