Version 1.1 of the Omega Calculator, Omega Library, Petit, and the
Uniform Library are now available from:
      ftp://ftp.cs.umd.edu/pub/omega/omega_system.


This version includes:
        * The Omega library, a set of routines for manipulating linear constraints
                        over integer variables, Presburger formulas, and Integer tuple
                        relations and sets.
        * The code generation library, a set of routines for generating code to
                        scan the points in the union of a number of convex sets.
        * The Omega calculator, a text-based interface to the Omega library
        * Petit, a educational/research tool for analyzing array data dependences
        * The Uniform library, a source to source parallelizing transformation
            system, described in Wayne Kelly's Ph.D. dissertation.


Some new or recent features:
        * The Uniform library
        * An exact convex hull computation
        * An improved system for handling inexact relations, including taking
            upper and lower bounds, checking for subsets, and checking tautologies
        * Better handling of existentially quantified variables: we can now
            negate and generate code for sets like:
                        {[i] : 1 <= i <= n && exists (alpha : i <= 10 alpha <= i+k)};
        * An Example operator, that gives a sample solution to set or relation.




Users with code that uses previous versions of the Omega library may
need to make some changes to their code in order to comply with the new
functions for checking subsets, satisfiability, and tautologies.
