I've made a lot of changes to Frink recently, probably too many to
mention here. As always, the "what's new" file contains the most detail
about all new changes:

http://futureboy.us/frinkdocs/whatsnew.html

Among other things, here are some bigger changes:

* Frink can now handle fractional exponents in base dimensions, (so
you can say things like m^(1/2) and do quantum-mechanical calculations
or work with systems of units that have weird fractional exponents like
Gaussian units or Heaviside-Lorentz units.)

* Frink now makes more suggestions if you try to convert units to
other units with different dimensions.

* Historical British price data is fixed.

* Various improvements to numerics.

* Fixes for some new object-oriented constructs.

By the way, I've been working very hard at making math on large
integers go much faster, but in a way that benefits all Java programs.
Since Sun open-sourced Java, I've been able to contribute significantly
faster algorithms to Sun's BigInteger classes, including much faster
multiplication (I've implemented Karatsuba multiplication, 3-way
Toom-Cook multiplication and faster squaring algorithms, faster
exponentiation, etc.) This will make Frink (and all Java programs)
significantly faster for very large integers, but the Sun reviewers
haven't reviewed them yet. Hopefully these changes will be in Java 1.7.
