Get ready for release 10.0.0

April 18, 2026

Supports Python 3.14. Python 3.10 support dropped. Python 3.10 may still work, but it's not supported.

Track API changes in mathics-core and Mathics3-scanner.

Fix bug in --full-form handling.

Allow matplotlib to render TeXForm output. This is done if Settings`$RenderTeXForm is True and matplotlib is installed. Settings`$RenderTeXForm is set to True by default.

9.0.0

Python 3.13. Python 3.8 and 3.9 support has been dropped.

Track API changes in Mathics3 Scanner 9.0.0

Make CLI options more like wolframscript. This is an incompatible change. Single-dash long options like -help, -file
are now accepted. The short option -f is associated with -file rather than --fullform; -Fis now used for Fullform.
Option --read with alias -r is now -code and short option -c.

Toggling Autobrace using the function key F4 has been fixed. Function key F1 provides some rudimentary help in the bottom bar.

Match \( with \) in prompt-toolkit mode

Augustus won

• Handle images via PNG and matplotlib
• Packaging: include matplotlib in full install
• Customize Asymptote configuration and add a psviewer that removes eps trash
• Bump minimum Mathics core version to 4.0.0
• Bug fix: Check if self has session attribute in asy.__del__

Independence

• Packaging issues: getting setttings.m file into distribution and other missing files
• More pervasive handling of import errors

Independence minus one

• 3D Graphics is now handled if Asymptote is installed.
• Settings`$UseMatplotlib and Settings`$UseAsymptote were added. The can disable the use of matplotlib and Asymptote when those are available.
