FriCAS is an advanced computer algebra system. Its capabilities range from
calculus (integration and differentiation) to abstract algebra. It can
plot functions and has integrated help system.
FriCAS 1.0.6 builds on Linux, many Unix like systems (for
example Mac OSX and Solaris 10) and Windows.
FriCAS is build on top of Common Lisp; several Lisps can compile
and run FriCAS -- currently supported are GCL, SBCL, Clisp, ECL
and Closure CL (former OpenMCL).

Notable changes (compared to 1.0.5 version) include:
- the axiom script is no longer installed (use fricas script
instead)
- some undesirable simplification are no longer done by default,
for example now asin(sin(3)) is left unevaluated
- support lambda expressions using '+->' syntax and nested functions
in Spad
- better configure, support for Dragonfly BSD
- faster bootstrap, also parallel (this does not affect speed
of release build)
Several bug fixes, in particular:
- fixed a regression introduced in 1.0.4 which caused equality
for nested products to sometimes give wrong result
- corrected fixed output of floating point numbers,
- operations on differential operators like symmetric power work now
- fixed crashes related to coercing power series
- functions returning Void can be traced
