mathjs v8.0.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2020-11-06 // over 3 years ago

  • !!! BE CAREFUL: BREAKING CHANGES !!!

    • You can now use mathjs directly in node.js using ES modules without need for a transpiler (see #1928, #1941, #1962). Automatically loading either commonjs code or ES modules code is improved. All generated code is moved under /lib: the browser bundle is moved from /dist to /lib/browser, ES module files are moved to /lib/esm, and commonjs files are moved to /lib/cjs. Thanks @GreenImp.
    • Non-minified bundle dist/math.js is no longer provided. Either use the minified bundle, or create a bundle yourself.
    • 👀 Replaced random library seed-random with seedrandom, see #1955. Thanks @poppinlp.

    • 💥 Breaking changes in pickRandom, see #1990, #1976.

      • Will no longer return the input matrix when the given number is greater than the length of the provided possibles. Instead, the function always returns results with the requested number of picks.
      • Will now return a Matrix as output when input was a Matrix.
      • Introduced a new syntax:
      math.pickRandom(array, { weights, number, elementWise })
      • Introduced a new option elementWise, which is true by default. When setting elementWise to false, an array containing arrays will return random pick of arrays instead of the elements inside of the nested arrays.
