Hi,

A new release of JSci is ready for download. The big change in this
version is that I have replaced all the periodic table classes by XML
files (packaged in the jar file). Element objects can be instantiated
using the new factory method PeriodicTable.getElement(). This makes the
data easier to update and more accessible for processing. As a
consequence, a periodic table reference in HTML is now included with the
documentation - generated by applying an xsl stylesheet to the xml
files.

I'm also pleased to announce that Rodrigo Almeida Goncalves has donated
his Java port of LPsolve to JSci. This is currently available as a
separate download and there is not much in the way of documentation.

Other changes:
- DoubleSparseMatrix has been renamed to DoubleSparseSquareMatrix and a
DoubleSparseMatrix non-square sparse matrix class has been added.
- Direct sum and tensor product methods have been added to DoubleMatrix.
- Improvements to Graph2D code.

Regards,

Mark
