[Axiom-developer] Axiom May 2010 release

[Tim Daly]

The May 2010 release of Axiom went live last night.
The Ubuntu and Fedora binaries are available.
Others will happen soon.
Note that the fedora binary is now a single image.

May 2010 Release

This release concentrated on adding new algebra.
A new package was added for factoring over finite fields.
A new volume Axiom Numerics was added, including BLAS and LAPACK in lisp.
A new volume Axiom Bibliography was added for literature citations.
GCL was upgraded, thanks to Camm Maquire.

These people were added to the credits list:

 Nelson H. F. Beebe, Gaetan Hache, Bill Hart, Kaj Laurson,
 Patrice Naudin, Claude Quitte, Steve Toleque
