-slib3a3 news:
-
-Multi-dimensional linear interpolation and resampling of arrays are

-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.
