# changes, 1.14

- functionality added or improved:
  - A bug related to determining the correct layout of a source directory prevented the function help from finding the example output and merging it into the help message. This has been fixed.
  - A change to the way expressions interact with the reverse dictionary prevented normal toric varieties assigned to global variables from being printed out as the name of the variable.
- new packages:
  - DiffAlg, a package by Manuel Dubinsky, Cesar Massri, Ariel Molinuevo, and Federico Quallbrunn, for computations with differential forms, has been added.
  - Quasidegrees, a package by Roberto Barrera for computing quasidegrees and graded local cohomology, has been added.
  - DeterminantalRepresentations, a package by Justin Chen and Papri Dey for computing determinantal representations, has been added.
  - FGLM, a package by Dylan Peifer and Mahrud Sayrafi for computing Gröbner bases via the algorithm of Faugère, Gianni, Lazard, and Mora, has been added.
- packages that have been published and certified:
  - LieTypes and ConformalBlocks, two packages by Dave Swinarski for computing ranks and first Chern classes of conformal block bundles on the moduli space of n-pointed curves of genus 0, have been published.
  - WeilDivisors, a package by Karl Schwede and Zhaoning Yang for working with Weil divisors, has been published.
  - StronglyStableIdeals, a package by Davide Alberelli and Paolo Lella for studying strongly stable ideals related to Hilbert polynomials, has been published.
  - DiffAlg, a package by Manuel Dubinsky, Cesar Massri, Ariel Molinuevo, and Federico Quallbrunn, for computations with differential forms, has been published.
  - Matroids, a package by Justin Chen for computations with matroids, has been published.
  - Quasidegrees, a package by Roberto Barrera for computing quasidegrees and graded local cohomology, has been published.
- improved packages:
  - ReflexivePolytopesDB now has a simplified interface and also does not access the web during installation. However, these changes will likely break previous code.
  - CohomCalg also has a simplified interface and also does not access the web during installation. However, these changes will likely break previous code using this package.
- new constants and operators:
  - The symbol Jupyter has been added.
  - The type MultigradedBettiTally has been added.
  - The function multigraded has been added.
- commits, issues, and pull requests on github
  - See closed 1.14 issues, for the issues and pull requests incorporated into 1.14.
  - See 1.14 commits for complete information about all changes to the code incorporated into 1.14.
