[Axiom-developer] July 2009 Axiom release

July 26, 2009 Release Notes

The syntactic conversion from the prior #1 form to the +-> form
is complete except for the GUESS package. Both forms still work
but the #1 form is discouraged.


All algebra files from src/algebra are now in books.


Work has concentrated on the hyperdoc browser. 
  * The browser files which get autoloaded into the interpreter were
    merged and removed in preparation for being rewritten into book form.
  * Glossary files were missing from the build and were added.


Work has started on a new CATS collection of verified algebraic identities,
the tpiezas set. See http://sites.google.com/site/tpiezas
