    Robert> OK, sifting through cvs for changes since version-591
    Robert> i found some more stuff.

I had started to look through some of the logs, but you beat me to
it. :-)

    Robert>  -- regularize use of packages in maxima core

    Robert>  -- misc code cleanups incl. sloop -> ansi loop, rename private let and let*

Probably not important to the user.

    Robert>  -- discrete plots (for plot2d)

When did adaptive 2D plotting go in?  Was that in 5.9.1?

    Robert>  -- revisions to Airy functions

Isn't this new?

    Robert>  -- revisions to Bessel functions

    Robert>  -- revisions to gamma function

    Robert>  -- revisions to elliptic functions

    Robert>  -- extensive revisions to hypergeometric functions

    Robert>  -- revised kill function

I think that unless you say what the revisions are, there's no point
in saying it.  I'll try to look through the logs and see what changed.

    Robert>  -- regenerate (via f2cl) functions from SLATEC Fortran code

Not relevant to the user (or even the developer, really).

Thanks for doing the dirty work,
